Why even respond . Why not just block them and not even have the pointless back and forth. It's not like these people posting racist shit are people of any importance. Just block and move on .

Personally I find it hard to judge her reaction when I myself haven't experienced hundreds, if not thousands, of racist tweets being directly targeted at me.

Basically, I think we should probably be focusing on the racist tweets themselves, not how the victim reacts to them.

 

[NumberTwo]

Disgusting, but not unexpected. Black women face bullshit on multiple fronts (racism, sexism, etc...)

Her spelling is atrocious

Of all thing things, this is what you come away with?

 

[Sou Da]

Ctrl+F 'Nero', oh boy what a surprise.

 

[Speedy Blue Dude]

It's so sad that people like them exist.

Jesus fucking Christ, what drives people to be so hateful and so negative all over someone's fucking skin color. I hope these people get the punishment they deserve (losing their jobs, being fined/jailed for hate crimes).

 

[Kid Heart]

Me neither Leslie, me neither....

 

[Redd]

Yup. Racism alive and well. Glad Leslie Jones is dishing some hurt back.

Way to contribute, champ.

EDIT: Damn, didn't even notice your tag. Just gonna do some tidying up by taking out the trash...

 

[chaobreaker]

Ok I have been called Apes, sent pics of their asses,even got a pic with semen on my face. I'm tryin to figure out what human means. I'm out

Disgusting.

 

[Blastoise]

Shouldn't give troll cunts the time of day. But I can understand how hard it is to keep quiet.

Bunch a pathetic people.

 

[IceBringer]

Man. The new ghostbusters really brings out the dumbasses. Leslie is hilarious. One of the best on snl

 

[cr0w]

Fucking embarrassing. I hate what fandom in general has become these days. I used to be proud of the shit I was into and of my hobbies, now I feel ashamed to be associated with a lot of it.

I'm a regular ass dude, and I won't touch Twitter or any of that shit. I can't imagine being famous and having to use it. Hell, I'd refuse. There's no good in it.

 

[3N16MA]

Now they can all go to bed feeling like champs.

How do you feel good about yourself after degrading someone like that?

 

[Calderc]

Saw this earlier and felt the need to tweet her to tell I thought she was awesome.

Sadly it no doubt hot lost in the sea of shit.

 

[DizzyCaffeine]

Why does anyone use Twitter anymore? It's a cesspool.

 

[Volimar]

People are the worst.

 

[Alienous]

Even Martin from Double Toasted got his jibe in on their show.

Anyway, this is some awful stuff. Just people tripping over themselves trying to hurt and offend.

 

[D i Z]

I don't think they know who they are fucking with. LJ isn't the kind to curl up into a ball before putting people on blast for shit like this.

 

[Salty Rice]

She should just ignore them because her responses are really bad.

 

[MisterHero]

I'm gonna watch Ghostbusters a couple more times because she's awesome in it. The marketing didn't do her character any favors.

shit is shameful

 

[The Kree]

Of all thing things, this is what you come away with?

*coughposthistorycough*

 

[Stumpokapow]

just checked and all of the people she calls out are 4chan users, trump supporters, and open white supremacists

 

[Not]

Why does this make me want to be proud I'm white again?

 

[NumberTwo]

Even Martin from Double Toasted got his jibe in on their show.

He was making fun of her looks I presume? If so, that's sad.

 

[Jazzem]

Awful, utterly awful It's disgusting what people can get away with behind internet anonymity, especially when Twitter continues to do nothing about it.

 

[Gordon Shumway]

Her spelling is atrocious

*coughposthistorycough*

The best!!

 

[minor effort]

Was already planning on seeing Ghostbusters this week.

Now I want to see it even more.

 

[TheLetdown]

just checked and all of the people she calls out are 4chan user, trump supporter, open white supremacists

I'm surprised that I was a little surprised.

Disgusting.

 

[Vesmir]

The kids are doing it for the lols and she is giving them a platform. You think quoting some twitter account is going to teach the troll a lesson? It will only provoke the nameless morons even further. It's going ham with a toothpick against a beehive.

 

[Madness]

why are they piling up on her and why is she not ignoring random twitter trolls ?

She is a new black face in a mainstream movie. What do you expect? Most probably are dumb as bricks underage kids hiding under anonymity or racist trolls who have nothing better going on in life than to try and bring someone down to their level. Leslie Jones was better in the movie than Melissa Mccarthy, yet Melissa will never be called subhuman or a monkey or etc.

 

[Bladenic]

Her retorts are killing me, and not in the good way.

The people tweeting shit though, sweet Jesus. A sad world.

 

[Felix Lighter]

Holy shit. Fuck twitter and their shitty harassment policies.

 

[BronsonLee]

just checked and all of the people she calls out are 4chan users, trump supporters, and open white supremacists

SURPRISAL

Why does this make me want to be proud I'm white again?

wat

 

[Rayis]

Kudos to her for taking it in stride even though she should not be getting all that harassment, I hope Twitter does something about it and bans all those racist fuckin assholes.

About Leslie?
What did he say?

 

[D i Z]

Not sure if we should feel better or worse by this little bit of information.
Yes it's a limited pool. But damn, it's a deep and very wide one.

About Leslie?
What did he say?

He called her a Gorilla. Thinking he was funny, he straight went there. The gag carried on a little further after that. It's especially fucked up that he went there knowing that a shockingly large portion of his fan base (talking about the Facebook group) are some of the most easily threatened misogynistic young males he comes across. They emulate the shit out of bad behavior and all think they are funny.

 

[Not]

wat

I've been seeing a bunch of dumb "be proud of your white heritage" pics on social media. With constant shit like this to be "proud" of, uh no thanks

One of the main reasons Kimmel's Celebrities Read Mean Tweets segment continues to baffle me.

For too many, doing this shit is almost like a badge of honour. It doesn't help when those kind of segments encourage this kind of behavior.

 

[Alienous]

About Leslie?

I can't recall it exactly, but it was a "These Ghostbusters have an ape on their team like the original 'Ghostbusters' did" jibe, said during their Ghostbusters review.

 

[outsida]

Thanks Obama.

 

[KazenY2J]

Disgusting.

I hate people

 

[qcf x2]

Do we still have racism doubters or

 

[Aztechnology]

I see POL is at it again.

 

[demon]

But, post-racism society.

Also, not that I'm in any place to tell her how to handle these little cunts, but they don't deserve to even be acknowledged by her. On the other hand I guess it helps to expose this side of the country that so many people seem to refuse to believe even exists.

 

[Silver Arrows]

Probably because Kimmel specifically pulls out the more benign tweets.

If he ever does something with the racist, misogynistic and disgusting tweets that are sent to POC or female celebrities, then yeah.

Fucking christ.... what the flying fuck

 

[User1608]

Not sure this is a good pound for pound comparison.

Yeah, bad call.

I'm just really disheartened, but I shouldn't be surprised these people attacking her are the lowest of the low. Bunch of losers.

Her spelling is atrocious

Shitty post. Funny that's what you take from what's she's doing over the racists scum she's exposing.

 

[Hippo_PRIME]

What the hell is wrong with people? Like, semi-functional empathy should be sufficient to deter a person from attacking someone like this. Just completely at a loss for words. Absolutely loved her in Ghostbusters.

Her spelling is atrocious

Oh. Wow.

 

[Gattsu25]

A bunch of the people she's image quoting are already being blocked by the gamergate-autoblocker. Shocking that there is a correlation between gamergate and racists.

 

[SpaceWolf]

It doesn't matter. It still encourages the kind of mindset where people are actively trying to out-do each other when it comes to who can send the celebrity insult that's the most likely to go viral. That's an ugly tradition to encourage, regardless of whether racism or misogyny happens to be involved.
