Princess Nokia, the 25-year-old rapper of Afro-Puerto Rican descent, was not going to sit idly as a racist, drunk clown by the name of Paul Lawson terrorized passengers inside an L-train carriage in New York City.
We’ve all been there, or at the very least we’ve seen the videos, of drunk loud-mouthed racists spewing their hate speech in public spaces while everyone around them turns a blind-eye. We always wish we did something more to stop that person, but most of the time, we just put our hands back in our pockets, turn our eyes to the floor and walk away with a great amount of guilt sitting in our stomachs.
It’s fine, we all feel scared. Imagine the level of hubris one must have to disparage a whole race. Now imagine that person being represented by the current administration. Surely what was once an unimaginable situation is bound to catch good people with their guard down.

Not Destiny Frasqueri, though, no sir, this girl has had enough. The singer of “1992 Deluxe” stood up for the honor and integrity of her fellow citizens, like a real American should always do, calling out racism and bigotry every step of the way.
Princess Nokia was not going to reason with this white supremacist and a terrorist sympathizer. She threw her hot soup right at that clown’s face and then continued to kick him to the ground where all racists belong. “Get the f*ck out! Get out right now!” she would scream at the man, whilst heroically kicking his face off the train.

It was a carrot and coriander soup just in case you were wondering, too good of a meal to waste, but the rapper did what had to be done. Throughout her young career, the performer has been outspoken about her beliefs, as she has stood up to racism and sexism multiple times.
During her live performances, she always encourages women to take the front stage, while demanding the men to stand in the back of the crowd. This way, she can empower her female friends to take space the same way men do, a noble gesture, to say the least. Princess Nokia has always stood up for the disenfranchised and the weak.

Thank you for your service Princess Nokia. This is America! A Nazi-free land. Many people have forgotten that, but thankfully there will always be good patriots like you to remind us where we stand.
