Atlanta‘s LaKeith Stanfield is not here for people who disrespect black women.

“Some dude, one of the drivers who takes us from point A to point B on this project that I’m working on, and he’s like, ‘Yo, Black women, they’re the hardest to deal with, man. They’re the most f**ked-up version of a woman you could have,'” he said in a recently uploaded YouTube video, recalling a time when a driver disrespected black women to his face.

Of course, Stanfield wasn’t going to let behavior like that slide.

“I said, ‘Whoa, whoa, wait, hold on. You talking to the wrong person, man, because as far as I’m concerned… the most beautiful aspect of Black women is that they’ve been through the most s**t you could go through in this country,” he said. “You know what I mean? They really have been through the most s**t and that’s a beautiful thing… That’s something that… should empower you to be a better version than what the f**k you are.”

Check out the video of Stanfield’s story below, as well as some of the awesome Twitter reactions.
