#IStandWithKrystina and you should too. @KrystinaArielle is a shining light who uses her platform to spread positivity and denounce racism. Because she is a WoC in the “nerd space”, she has become the target of petty and cruel trolling. No one deserves that and especially not her
Not only is it disgusting how they are treating her, but it is also sickening how excited they are to have a “reason” to insult and attack a PoC. Report their tweets and raise her up. #IStandWithKrystina
Just look at this piece of shit. “Not all white people are racist. Also, I am racist.” These trolls motivations literally COULD NOT be more transparent.
The irony is so palpable. If you are white in America, you have benefitted from a racially biased system/culture. If you are a white person trying to make things better, I am willing to bet it is because of the emotional labor a black person did to educate you on the issues.
And so, to try to pretend that a black person bringing attention to the racism THEY ARE FACING is racist itself, is actively detrimental to making our society better. So, shut up assholes. We see who and what you really are. (Spoiler: You are racist shits.)
Gone are the days of “just ignore the trolls”. That is a privilege POV and it doesn’t work. Time to raise up kind people like @KrystinaArielle and shut down petty assholes who find joy in attacking others.
