A United Nations organization deleted a Valentine’s Day tweet celebrating different forms of love after the left complained that a depiction of a black woman hugging herself was racist.
The “woke” tweet, repeating the common left-wing slogan “love is love,” celebrating LGBTQ rights, was posted by UN Women, “the United Nations entity dedicated to gender equality and the empowerment of women.”
It depicted several interracial couples, plus a black woman on her own.
The depiction of a black woman engaged in “self-love” was apparently offensive to some on the left, who took it to mean that she was unloved by others.
Black women have self love, are loved and are worthy of love. Do better and delete this. https://t.co/zR4gfg51lW

This graphic was tweeted by @UN_Women for #ValentinesDay.
The Black woman is alone. The Black man isn’t loving her—this depiction eradicates the Black family, a goal of America for 400 years. pic.twitter.com/nXrKUy6foG

All the other races are booed up…
But God forbid they put a Black man with a Black woman. They just show the Black woman hugging herself.
This is the liberal propaganda y’all like tho https://t.co/2FpLX5s8TZ

As we close #ValentinesDay2021, here's a reminder that the world hates Black women. So much that even the @UN_Women created this #SocialMedia gif to show a Black woman getting NO LOVE. This is why Black women are so OVER many causes that exclude us until they NEED us. #Fail https://t.co/uqcDz68Gms
