The way she's being sliced and diced every other day, not one thing about her is right, apparently.
Dayum
Sarcastic rant complete
At this point, I don't care if she dives into black stereotypes naked every day and twice on Sundays. This woman is being rode freaking hard by every damn body.
Now, even Clutch Online Magazine asked if Leslie Jones should have chosen a black designer for her Ghostbuster Premiere Dress.
Really?
This is the question asked after Jones had to go on social media and declare she couldn't find a designer who wanted to dress her because she's too big (and not white, not light, not having long natural "good hair" or the standard substitute - a long, straight weave.
The correct question is: Should Black Designers have been beating her door down to dress her long before she said, 'I can't find anybody to dress me" to the press?
HECK YEAH. They should have. And every last one of them should be ashamed of themselves.
And I have another question: Why the heck don't I remember anybody asking Halle Berry, Thandie Newton, Vanessa Williams, or Zendaya this question about any dress they wore anywhere?
In fact, I don't remember Mrs. Obama being asked this, Oprah, Angela Bassett, nobody being asked these kinds of questions over and over again.
What is it about Leslie Jones that makes her a freaking punching bag for black people and white people, both.
Last week, she was being abused by white racists so badly that there was an unfounded rumor that she left twitter. But CEO of twitter banned a few racist trolls altogether
The hashtag #LoveForLeslieJ was created to defend her. But I would like to know why she's being attacked so regularly.
She said in an interview that she's used to it. She stood up so that people would know, so that people could take action. And we have. Some of the racist trolls are gone from twitter permanently.
In other words, Leslie Jones led us to a Black Lives Matter Too victory.
Every battle counts.
Thank you Ms Jones.

- She's not white
- She's not light
- She doesn't have good hair
- She's not petite
- She does comedy that's got a few toes outside of the respectability politics zone.
- She doesn't even have a long straight weave to compensate for all of the above

Milo Yiannopoulos, tech editor of the conservative site Breitbart, was pinpointed as the instigator of the attack against Jones and banned from Twitter.
