Black Women Caught in the Digital Crosshairs - Ms. Magazine

Black women are often in the crosshairs of abusive discourse driven by social media. That recent targets are often public figures suggests that social media abusers find it profitable to attack high-profile Black women who have become symbolic avatars for the group as a whole.

      Why would you even try to go there?

      Dark people don’t get to select how their hair grows.

      I’m very disappointed in your response.

          What does that have anything to do with anything?

          People’s hair changes pattern sometimes…

                Agreed. Would have worked better if it said “tangled up”. This is too much of a stretch.

    The only thing this has to do with technology is that some of the things in the article happen online.

        Just doing a public service reminder.

        Are you? Or did you just think the weird “digital” in the title justifies it being posted here.

    It’s amazing to me that when people try to fight against racism or sexism, they end up highlighting the very things they’re supposedly against…

    Definitely doesn’t help that some people in black community (not black people in general) are entitled piece of shit who think their (ancestors’) suffering is a free pass to treat everybody else like shit. Some of them are straight up black supremacists hiding behind the flag of race equality.
