i’m not defending azealia banks in any way, i think banning her is justified after the things she said to zayn but if twitter is suspending accounts based on ignorant things they’ve tweeted, why haven’t donald trump, piers morgan, ann coutler, katie hopkins, and tila tequila all been suspended yet? they’ve all collectively said wildly islamophobic, anti-semitic, homophobic and sexist things (while getting 1000s of RTs and likes)

whilst i’m at it can i address the violently racist side of twitter? the #whitegenoice, #makeamericawhiteagain, #prowhitesunite, #prokkk side of twitter? i’m literally not making this up as i type this there are millions of accounts/tweets based solely on promoting white supremacy, while twitter stays mute because azealia trended one day?

i am all for suspending bigots’ accounts and never letting them remake again. I even find it a good thing that they suspended azealia’s twitter but if twitter have finally started to live up to their non-tolerating abuse guidelines (that they preach so incessantly) then they should crack down on others too and not just azealia.
