As a Black woman on Twitter who encounters this multiple times a day every single day 365 days a year, I want to show you guys something. Thread:

I saw Gen X trending, and when I clicked the trend, it was all about Fox News calling on us to "cancel" "cancel culture." I thought it was funny because the boomers tried to cancel everything we liked as teens, and so I tweeted this:

For the most part, people got it, agreed, laughed, RT etc Of course, there were some who either willfully or ignorantly misunderstood my point. Those (mostly white) people didn't even try to disagree in a reasonable way. They immediately began calling me names, disparaging me etc

Example:

Not only was this person totally wrong about the point of my tweet, they even got Tipper's birthday wrong, which is hilarious in and of itself.

I (and several other people) pointed out to them that they misunderstood the tweet. (look at the replies)

Instead of acknowledging that they were wrong or even just moving along now that they knew they were, they decided to move the goalposts and try to make me wrong about something else:

Um what? White people do this in my mentions all day long. It's tiring and it's abusive whether you want to admit that or not. Instead of acknowledging your error, you choose to continue to attack because now you are upset about having been told you are wrong by a Black woman.

What did homophobic music have to do with the current topic? Nothing at all.

It's the same shit y'all do with "All lives matter" and "Not all white people."

You want to derail some shit because you don't like being wrong.

Fuck off with that shit. Entirely.

All y'all do is derail. You don't like it when one of us is right, so you come running in with some self righteous bullshit to try and "put us in our place."

Girl fuck you. yo mama, yo bald headed daddy, the bitch he fucking on the side, yo mama's meatloaf and your family. Bye.
