I think we can all agree that Sydney said was very hateful, and its never okay to generalize any group if people for the actions of a few.
She got called out on, and that's nice. It should have happened and it did.Actually taught her (and maybe many others) a lesson... (1/n)
Having said that, I don't think she deserves as much shit as she is getting.
And no, I won't argue about how she had posted it on private because being showing your hate only to a small of people doesn't suddenly make it okay to be hateful.
Hear me out: (2/n)
She didn't deserve so much shit because she's a human too. She has a life, and I don't think anyone has the right to HURT someone so bad. Yes, she's racist and hateful but that doesn't mean you hate on her and say nasty things to her (3/n)
If you're saying hateful things to her, you're just as guilty as she is (or maybe more because you're targeting an individual?). She is a teenager who was racist. But why not leave it at that? Why insult her? Why make sexual claims about her? (4/n)
Why call her names based on her ethnicity? Why file a case when you know she's a 20 year old and can actually change her behavior/mindset?
And you know the worst part? It was us, a comparatively 'literate' crowd who did all this (5/n)
You know what other people do (Other people being the group of ignorant people that you see commenting stupid rude things on RONB)? They send death threats, say stupid things about her family, make memes sexualizing her all wrong ways and call it 'dank'/'darkhumor'. (6/n)
That kind will scar a girl forever. And we don't want that do we? Do we want to live in a world where you fight hate with hate? That doesn't solve shit. That's why people die in war. Fight hate with love people. FIGHT HATE WITH LOVE. (7/n)
Have you never been called out on? I have. And it feels bad when even 3 people do it. Imagine hundreds/thousands doing it to you, plus it spiraling out if control. I can't imagine how anyone would deal with that. (8/n)
When Sydney's account is up again, we up again, let's treat her with kindness rather than hate. Even though the internet would probably have forgotten about it. (9/9) +1 extra below
I don't know how many people where in her private account, but whoever ratted on her is equally bad. You have a friend who has wrong opinion and you decide to 'expose' her? That wasn't the right thing to do.
The right thing is to council your friend (1/n of extra)
Teach them, show them the difference between right and wrong. What are friends for? We learn so much from our friends. Why not call them out one-on-one? Why not guide them?
If there is one thing I'm taking from this 'incident', it is to be better friends. (2/2 of extra)
Sorry for the grammatical/textual inconsistencies. It was , 3-4 am and a lot was going on in my head. :)
