COME ON Not On Valentine's Day: Girl Gets Roughed Up At The Nail Salon!

A young woman takes a beating at the nail shop.

By Skyler SaundersPublished about 22 hours ago 3 min read

Even on Valentine’s Day the poor creature sitting in the chair could get no love. Two mammies roughed up a blonde-wigged patron of a nail salon. As she sat casually waiting to have her done, the buffoons walked up on her and started throwing blows.

In instances like this, it’s apparent that there seemed to be a history with the three of them. It may have started off amicable but things turned acrid rather quickly. When it came time to fight back, the woman who literally had her wig snatched didn’t even throw a punch. Was she guilty of something? Did they both have a problem that might have remained in the romance department? The video doesn’t tell the tale. It’s just raw footage of a devastating, ugly display of brute force.

Just given the video, it may seem as if the mammies had dealt the blows for no reason. Did the wigless woman cheat on one or both of their partners? No weapons deployed, so it didn’t seem as serious as it may have been. The idea of the females ganging up another one is so classic, it’s probably somewhere in some ancient text of hateful scrolls.

They appeared to be grown ups so they showed they could have been brought up on charges as adults. Before the video ends you can hear what sounds like an employee saying, “Not in here!”

They didn’t care. It looked like a professional hit…somewhat. The two storm in, cast their fists, and breeze off calmly as if nothing ever happened. The blonde haired woman ought to be glad they didn’t spit razor blades from under their tongues and give her a buck fifty. Or even worse, pull out the blammers and get biz wit’ the sigs. She took her hits with ample recognition that she was about to get her nails “did” one moment and fooled around and found out that she had a giant red target on her back.

In actuality, she may have a case with this video for the judge. The other two women might be able to be identified and shown to be criminals. As a private business, the owners could sue for violating codes of initiation of physical force on their premises.

Whether the once wigged female retaliates with violence is yet to be determined, but what she ought to do is snitch on her assailants. This seemed like a personal matter and that they all have been in each other’s presence before this altercation.

This is where it gets sticky. All of them, most likely, are God-fearing children of the Lord. Maybe they’re Muslim. It would be a stretch to say they’re Jewish, but it’s not impossible. Maybe they’re just “spiritual” and don’t belong to a specific faith. It doesn’t matter. When these actions take place they want to go to the feet of the Father, reason would have brought the two to a level-headed decision before snatching at the woman’s head. All the talk about peace and love goes out the window when it comes down to the nit and the grit of this case.

They seek forgiveness and want to be anointed by the King of Kings. They may offer salat to reconcile their differences and prepare to fast for their transgressions. In the idea of them using faith, they probably got dressed for church and enjoyed their Sunday sermon. All three women may have just orchestrated the entire set of events to rack up views on the Internet.

They could have easily bribed the videographer or knew him or her in order to cast the footage on the Web. Whatever the case, all three women should be ashamed of themselves. Especially the two who attacked the woman. The one who attacked should have fought back instead of crouching into a ball of despair. She had the moral imperative to showcase her hand skills against these savage foes.

With all that is going on in this country, it’s almost a relief to see alleged Foundational Black Americans (FBA) frequent nail salons again patronizing business owners. Though the other two women may have been the aggressors in this scenario, they should be lauded and applauded for letting the woman at least get her gel job.

If any lesson should be learned from this situation, it is that all of them have been traumatized by being black. This is the condition known as Black Fatigue Syndrome (BFS). They’re all tired of being black. Unlike the yellow women in the shop, they don’t have years of ancestors who struggled and toiled in fields and homes for decades in America. Where is the love?
