Thread on the racist trolling on royal twitter: On and off social media, racists, bigots & trolls don't need applause to keep doing what they do, silence is enough. 1/4 #Royals #royalfamily #harryandmeghan
It's why you hear the tremble in their voices despite their volume when they're screaming abuse at someone on public transport but somebody courageous decides in that moment they won't cringe in silence and let it go on. 2/4
This is why I get so frustrated when journalists especially say "I don't respond so I don't give it oxygen.". By not responding, you give them something worse than oxygen: legitimacy. They can act like what they do isn't egregious. They only need silence to carry on. 3/4
Hope I don't sound too preachy. cos I'm not confrontational by nature and it's scary to go toe-to-toe with a racist (speaking from IRL experience) but some of the crap I see on this hellsite is sickening & ppl w/ authority turn a blind eye because it isn't directed at them 4/4
