In reply to the discussion: Wow. Bravenak (DU member) going at it with Sarandon! [View all]all american girl
(1,788 posts)she didn't @ SS...it was made for braves followers...SS made a passive aggressive move when she responded to it, and hey, that's a serious whatevs...but it was SS followers that then decided that it was cool to go after brave in sexist and racist ways. The meme that Brave created wasn't sexist or racist. She didn't use ugly altered pics of SS to make her point (like shit we see of Hillary)...And yes, there is a lot of hate out there for her. She used her voice, and being famous gives her a louder one than most, to insult women voters, and then when her candidate lost said that Hillary was just as bad as Trump...also stating that it would be OK if Trump won because that would bring the revolution on faster...not caring about all the people who would be in the cross fire, as we are seeing now.
In my opinion, there was nothing wrong with people disagreeing with brave, but when they went into racist and sexist bullshit, that was bullying. It's been days and it's still going on. This is the shit that women, and Hillary voters have been complaining about for over 2 years...now people are standing up and taking receipts about bullying behavior. You may think that brave went over the line by making that meme, but the people who went over the line and need to be called out, they are the people who think it's OK to try and silence women and WOC for expressing there opinion. If brave truly wanted to bully her, she would have @ her and have her thousands and thousands of followers (which she doesn't have anywhere near as many as SS) go after her. SS punched down. I also have the same opinion as Brave...Fuck you is how I feel about her..SS knew exactly what she was doing and probably likes the results. I'm seeing a lot of black women on twitter pissed at SS...so I'm, again, going to listen to black women because they know.
