A Black Lives Matter activist who told black protesters to remember that “white racists” are their enemy and said that white people need to realize their “f**king privilege” was found dead in Tallahassee this week, and police have a black man in custody in possible connection to her murder.
Oluwatoyin Salau, 19, had previously reported on Twitter that she had been sexually assaulted by two different black men before going missing amidst ongoing Black Lives Matter protests in Florida.
Video footage from the protests of shows Salau giving a speech in which she says, “First of all I want White people to realize their f**king privilege… wherever the f**k I go, I am profiled. Look at my f**king hair, look at my skin bruh… so imma die about it, imma die by my f**king skin. You cannot take my f**king blackness away from me. My blackness is not for your f**king consumption, n*gga.”
“White people, realize your privilege. My blackness is not for your f*cking consumption. I will die by my skin.”

Salau revealed that she was “molested” by “a black man” on the morning of the day she went missing.
Anyways I was molested in Tallahassee, Florida by a black man this morning at 5:30 on Richview and Park Ave. The man offered to give me a ride to find someplace to sleep and recollect my belongings from a church I refuged to a couple days back to escape unjust living conditions.

The same niggas i'm risking my life for are the same niggas who are convinced they are stealing away my "innocence" or jewel not knowing that I am standing on a rock. Therefore I can never be broken or robbed.

Earlier in June, Salau recounted another instance of sexual harassment at the hands of a Ghanaian man in March.
To me in March involving Ivan a 32 year old Ghanaian man who currently schools at FAMU and lives at 211 Jakes and Patterson (I am currently 19 years old) who tried to force me to give him oral sex and then continued to harrass me thru text and knocking at my door for days.

Activists on Twitter have remained sharply divided on Salau’s murder, with some attributing her death to unspecified “racism” at the hands of police, while others accused black men of not valuing the lives of black women.
