As a latina celebrity, tweeting #BlackLivesMatter (or staying mute) was not that hard.
And where's the apology? Saying "I get angry and say things I don't mean" is definitely not apologizing.

She said nothing wrong so there is no need for an apology.
And how has BLM helped minimize the amount of black lives lost to police? The only time people tweet black lives matter is after someone is shot and killed so how does tweeting a hashtag compare to signing an official document to end gun violence (aka something selena has done)
all you do is sit on your ass and bitch on the internet while criticizing people for what they choose to do and not do. A hashtag may bring awareness to an issue but does it fix anything? Did #jesuischarlie or #prayforfrance solve terrorism in that country? Or how about #prayforlebanon or maybe #prayfororlando?
Hashtags dont save lives, they are simply a a way to show you "care" about an issue after something tragic has happened and then a week later are forgotten.
You know what solves issues and actually helps? Signing petitions to get gun violence taken seriously. Donating proceeds from your own events to help the funeral cost of those lives lost. Not tweeting a ****ing hashtag, bitching on the internet, attacking people on social media ect
and i love the "staying mute was not that hard" comment but that bitch on twitter went out of his way to harass her about what she has done for the movement when she was talking about a totally separate event.
I would rather have selena do **** behind the scenes to help than to have her post a hashtag for brownie points and then never do anything else
