There is a great example in the thread below that might as well be surfaced here. When blue-checks on twitter post 'kill white people' it is magically not bullying, not inciting violence and not hate speech. https://www.label56.com/wp-content/uploads/verified-hate-1.j... What is worse is the secondary effects when people point to twitter not taking action as a justification that posting 'kill <skin colour>' is somehow acceptable if <skin colour> == white. After all, twitter allows it so it must be OK. |

- Dadito Calderone was making a joke about people who pretend to be concerned about crime in black neighborhoods when really they're trying to demonize black people as criminals.
- ka5sh, and possibly Brian Clevinger, is quoting the TV series Roots.
- Bobbie Oliver was talking about a movie in which a black man escapes slavery by killing his captors.
- Shay Stweart Bouley was sharing a story with an intentionally provocative title
- Tracy Bommeisha-Ann Clayton was ironically using a painfully exaggerated black accent.
- Yasser Lester is saying something similar to Nick Hanauer telling plutocrats to beware of pitchforks and torches.
None of these people were actually advocating for killing white people, nor or they making these jokes in a targeted way that would constitute bullying. Furthermore, many of these tweets are many years old, which indicates that they were found by scraping the bottom of the barrel.
