OT: It would have been 9x messier if she used the white emoji.

How?

Idk just seeing the phrase "Generation KKK" and a white fist + hand next to it looks really off to me. Maybe it's just me though.

because they can? its a free country people can do whatever they want if its not illegal.

She said nothing wrong and doesn't deserve all this hate. Ellen is truly a beautiful human being.

She's not the enemy, stop attacking and twisting her words.

Can you come up with a reason why they shouldn't?

I didn't say they shouldn't. I asked for anyone to give me a good reason why one would.

So... another no, then?

Why spend so much energy on attacking someone who clearly isn't the problem?

Well, that's the new trend in "online activism". Just like when BLM repeatedly crashed Bernie Sanders (and later Hillary Clinton), compared to barely even laying a finger on TRUMP or Carson, Rubio, etc. Or all the clearly fruitless "Trump protests" when the same people could have showed up and voted. It's this new generation of faux-activists who want to be seen doing trendy activism things like getting photographed protesting a politician who mostly agrees with your cause, joining a crowd in a highly publicized yet meaningless protest, or even just slamming "PROBLEMATIC!" celebs on twitter and waiting for those favs and retweets... But they don't want to actually go out there and deal with things the hard way, the way it was done in say, the Civil Rights movement or the LGBT rights movement.

Just look at the way people attack and shut down these celebs, instead of attempting to calmly educate them on why you find what they said objectionable. Like, I'm pretty sure half the people slamming Ellen Pompeo probably have a GOP mayor or governor taking away their rights as we speak, yet they neither know about it, nor probably even know the name of said representatives in the first place. This is why we're getting ****ed.

well since I'm not in her mind i couldn't tell you exactly why but my guess is because she wanted to? I mean what don't you understand about this? I dont remember seeing the creator of the black emoji saying only black people can use it?

[Vertigo Stick]

She should have ignored the trolls

"Okay I'm definitely not fat"

Nothing she said or did was wrong.

This. And I'm usually on the other side with this, but this was clearly started over people trying to get a rise out of her. I have literally never heard of this woman before today so good job black twitter for making someone you consider a racist, unqualified emoji user even more famous than she was before.

Yall need to direct your anger toward social and racial issues that actually matter. The fact that this was all started over someone getting upset at seeing a white person using black EMOJIS in support of a forward-thinking, pro-black move from A&E is the most ridiculous and laughable part of this story. I think the woman handled herself pretty well tbh.

um if her husband is black then she obviously isn't racist. Choose your battles people, she isn't the enemy.

You can ride black penises and still perpetuate racism.

She should've ignored the trolls instead of claiming to face racism by using white bitch as an example......

[imabadkid]

It's sad that people were harassing her literally over a f*cking emoji like get a grip.

[Alena]

people who claim everything is racist annoy me so much

You all bitches better leave queen Meredith Grey alone.
