    This might be the most controversial thing I ever tweeted but it’s time America faces the truth about a group of beloved historical figures, so here goes: Blanche, Dorothy, Rose $ Sophia—The Golden Girls—were actually members of an organized crime syndicate. A thread:

        Y’all probably think they were innocent widowers because that’s what they WANT you to think. Nah, these women were gangsters. The Golden Girls debuted in 1985, right at the beginning of the crack cocaine epidemic. They moved there to “push that weight”

        The muscle of the organization was provided by Rose, (or as we called her, “Ruthless” Rose Nyland. Rose acted innocent & sweet but she wasn’t as dumb as she pretended She claimed her husband died but anyone with 2 eyes can see she killed her husband for the insurance money.

        First of all, who moves from St. Olaf Minn. to Miami to save money? No one, unless you have a plug for that Colombian nose candy. So she moves down there and meets Blanche “The Butcher Devereaux,” whose family made their money in the sex trade and dope game

        Wait...Y’all knew Blanche’s daddy was a pimp, right? I mean, he wore a white pimp suit, hat and even talked like a pimp they said he owned a “plantation” outside of ATL where Blanche grew up but it sounds like they were selling & growing more than thathttps://youtu.be/Y6zyOrgbB_Y

        He had an unnatural relationship with Blanche that always bothered me & his name was literally “Big Daddy!” Bruh, thats a pimp.

        But in the mid-80s Atlanta was getting blacker and blacker, so he sent Blanche down to Miami to move his “crops” Where would Blanche meet people rich enough to spend that kind of $$$? How could she move that kind of weight in & out of the country? Do you remember Blanche’s job?

        She was an ART DEALER! That’s the perfect cover. First of all, Ppl in Fla. ain’t buying art like that unless it’s velvet. Secondly, it’s a known fact that 72% of art dealers belong to a cartel. But they needed someone smart & tough enough to handle the day-to-day business

        “Dangerous” Dorothy Zoomak. She was smart, tough, down on her luck, nothing to lose and built like an outside linebacker who sometimes played safety in the nickel defense. Dorothy didn’t take no shit. She taught in inner city NYC scools during the 70s so she spoke Spanish

        Plus, her voice was so deep, the Columbian probably thought Luther Vandross or James Earl Jones was on the phone when she called them.

        Now, if course, you need respect, a distribution network and connections to let people know not to fuck with you. Sophia “She’ll Kill Ya” Petrillo. Come on fam. Don’t tell me y’all can’t see this.

        First of all, she was Sicilian. And she talked mad shit. Plus, have y’all ever wondered why her nursing home burned down right when everyone moved in? To keep the cops off their trail. It was a cover. Don’t forget, Golden Girls debuted 1 year after Miami Vice

        So while Crockett & Tubbs we’re locking people up, the Golden Girls were quietly running an international drug ring. It’s all right there if you open your 3rd eye. Here’s the final clue.
