She should have left it alone

There's a portion of black Twitter that is so militant and discriminatory. They are vile and nasty. They literally sit on Twitter all day policing non-black people. I find it repulsive.

Wait, so this started over an emoji?



Slow down now, just cause someone marries a Black person doesn't mean they can't be racially insensitive to other Black people.

*Not saying she in particular is a racist

People itt thinking cause you suck black dick or eat black ***** you can't be racist. DEAD.

Anyway I don't see anything to get mad at, all she did was use an emoji.

That isn't racism? Calling a black woman a "Dirty nig bitch"....

This whole Ellen situation is a reach and she's definitely not racist, but calling someone a dirty nig is literally point blank racism.

Right now you can't say anything without offend anyone. I blame the Born This Way era.

This is why I'd personally advise EVERY celebrity to stay away from twitter, or just have a publicist/manager-controlled one for PR. This is why we can't have nice things and celebs must be "unattainable". On the internet, it is impossible to be famous and not become "problematic" if you interact with real people yourself. The blogs/thinkpieces will come, and now she'll be linked inseparably with the "WHITE FMEINISTS!! Lena Dunham/Taylor Swift/whoever"

The people attacking her pretty much exemplify the concept of "regressive left".

Also, a certain minority of POC need to stop hiding behind their own oppressed status to be rude and racially insensitive and/or dismissive of other people. If someone says something genuinely problematic, educate them. But enough of this "shut up WHITE WOMAN!" as a kneejerk response. It's wearing thin, and does nothing to actually improve race relations.

She was literally tweeting IN SUPPORT of them changing the problematic title of a TV Show, related to race.

While I don't think it's a great idea for celebrities to go on tweet streaks this long arguing with people, it's honestly so annoying that people want to complain about every. single. thing. Everything is becoming offensive these days and people are getting fed up from it.

If people want to fight racism, can't they use their energy towards fighting something that's ACTUALLY racist? Like...

I feel bad for her, it was just a damn emoji and she did it all with good intentions and it was like they were just trying to twist her words all the time with her replies.

She should've just ignore it and not make this thing bigger, so bad that she actually seemed sad and upset about it, she didn't deserve that.

[GoneHome]

The most harmless celebrity who stands up for human rights gets black Twitter riled up. That's how you know how horrible social media is.

privileged white woman

[opruh]

Queen effortlessly destroying black twitter.

[Rama]

I entered this thread believing ATRL was gonna side with Black Twitter, I'm surprised



13 season Queen did nothing wrong

[Rami328]

So SJW's are trying to dictate the emojis other people use God.

[Dessy Fenix]

I don't know what's going on. I haven't even seen my side of Twitter talk about this and I follow a lot of prominent black folks

[Toxicity.]

Wow. She's always been an outspoken ally and they're really gonna throw her into mess over colored emojiis? I ****ing hate Twitter.

[americanlife]

Legend Meredith would never be racist! Especially when her husband and her kid Zola on Grey's Anatomy are black.

[Crescendolls.]

Black Twitter gets on my damn nerves. Leave Queen Ellen alone and stop acting offended for the dumbest ****

[-brian]

i hate that intention is just NEVER a ****ing factor for some people i feel bad for ellen

although looking at some of her tweets right now, she just shouldn't have engaged at all lol
