The email continued to spew hateful vitriol, including how DeVoe was uneducated, couldn’t spell, and that she had a lisp.

DeVoe addressed the message with expert precision that Black women are known for, offering both shade and grace.

“Nothing like starting off the workweek with a racist email,” she wrote. “I’ve gotten unpleasant and outright nasty emails before, but this by far takes the cake.”

“From incorrectly stating that I have a lisp and uneducated, which are of course completely untrue, to saying they don’t want to see “my kind” to start off their morning, to saying if they wanted to see me on TV, they would move to the majority-black city of Prichard— the racism is appalling and disgusting,” she continued.

DeVoe finished her detail of the email with a graceful closing.

“And of course, they used a pseudonym and a fake email to write in. Well, you’re going to keep seeing this melanin with the box braids EVERY weekday morning from 5-7 am and afternoon at 4 pm. #RepresentationMatters. Be blessed,” she wrote.
