In case you had any doubts about the sincerity of the anti-cyber-bullying crowd, consider the reaction of Twitter to Azealia Banks’ disgusting attacks on Sarah Palin.
Over the course of a week, the infamous rapper has dug a deeper and deeper hole for herself. Initially, she said Palin should be gang raped after reading a satirical article which falsely quoted her as saying blacks were happy under slavery.
Quickly realizing her mistake, Banks issued a public apology to the former governor, but tried to minimize the severity of her trangression by saying the term she used didn’t specifically refer to rape. Apparently, Twitter seems to have bought her explanation.
After receiving a complaint against Banks that documented how her remarks violated the social media site’s terms of agreement, Twitter responded by saying that it did not believe her remarks constituted “threats of violence” and thus would not be acting against her.

Twitter just lost me! I won’t be using it anymore!
Terrible comments, both by this woman and many people here.
I also disagree. You don’t have to be black to hear what is being said in rap music. I beleive the people who are drawn to this music and support it is dysfunctional to say the least. Blacks have made great music (jazz, r & b, etc.) but violent gangster rap does nothing but perpetuate the cycle of violence. Seeing as I am the only one of us two who is a woman, I find this music very offensive as to how men see all women in this culture of rap.
Palin packs guns and she aint shy about pulling the trigger. Momma packs heat.
My disagreement pertains to your statement “because that is who they are”. Unlike a terrifyingly sizeable amount of people here, you seem to be able to string together several consecutive thoughts. Therefore, I’m going to take the liberty of assuming you can read into my point about your generalization. But just in case I will break it down: I am black and that is not who I am. Therefore your statement is not true.
The majority of Twitter shares are diluted in mutual fund portfolios.
Annette Cadet is right. “We” had a meeting and agreed to not admit it.
SHE IS NO BODY RAPPER
