I& #39;ve been asked by @roobine1 &a few others if I can explain the ongoing situation regarding #ResistingHate.
There& #39;s several angles all pouring into one conflagration, & ill try to put down things as I understand them, but I& #39;m sure others can offer a deeper insight.

Members of the #ResistingHate group have been engaging in a prolonged campaign of abuse against people online, including racism and homophobia.
This is not limited to the bananas emojis, and there have been comments likening Black people to savages, comments about slave ships, calling people "fa**ots" and "h*mos." The targets for this abuse have included @GatissJudy, @DesiBuna, and others.
Images of Judy’s daughter have been utilized in this and she has been compared to Rachel Dolezal and told she is white. It& #39;s as bad as much you see from the far-right, and it& #39;s into the realm of criminality.
I have seen these things, and they are true, but people shouldn& #39;t be believing me, a white man, on this, when Black people have been saying it for weeks. It& #39;s all there for anyone who takes the time to look.
The primary source is accounts from "Joker" and "Monkey," but there are others, and Resisting Hate leader Rowana has sadly looked the other way, refused to condemn and call out people doing this under the banner of ResistingHate.
There are times she has completely ignored this kind of discourse directly when it& #39;s happened in conversations.
Nobody is asking for purity. Nobody denies that good work has been some under the Resisting Hate name, but this is the unfortunate result of enlisting the kind of shitposters and trolls that lurk in places like 4chan.
All the tread doesn& #39;t appear properly. Think its because I deleted a tweet with a mistake.
Here& #39;s the last one. Scrolling cup from that works. https://twitter.com/michaeleast1983/status/1387343664960126981">https://twitter.com/michaelea...
