Salon apologizes for calling Nicki Minaj a "savage"
Quote:
Salon published a tweet Monday morning about the unscripted verbal spat between Nicki Minaj and Miley Cyrus during Sunday night’s MTV VMAs in which the former was referred to as a “savage.” The news website’s Twitter account quickly removed the previous tweet and replaced it with another, but social media activists were already up in arms by then.
"Earlier today we used a poor choice of words in describing Nicki Minaj's VMA acceptance speech. We apologize to Ms. Minaj and our readers"
The first describes Minaj’s “rant” against Cyrus as “savage” and “expletive-laden,” whereas the former rewrites it as “raw, righteous rebuke.” However, despite the correction, activist Twitter wasn’t having it.
People use that world all the time, Barbz doing the most.
You're right, it is used constantly by white media to paint black women with the ever-so-popular "angry black bitch" brush. I'm glad the Barbz kept Salon in check.
She was never called a savage. Thread title is wrong. Article is wrong. All of this is wrong. What a load of BS. So many social media users are such dumb c__ts.

the connotation was lowkey racist, don't nobody @ me w/ 'stop making everything about race' you idiots are part of the overarching problem
I'm black but I don't see this as being racial. If one of those popular fight accounts/WSHH accounts said "NICKI WAS A SAVAGE" no one would be complaining.
