Trolls Are Attacking Leslie Jones on Twitter and She's Taking an Epic Stand
Racist jokes, sexist comments—what is this world right now.
It's straight-up the Internet Apocalypse as far as we're concerned today. Why? Aside from ever-evolving Taylor-gate, trolls are now attacking the beautiful comedic genius that is Leslie Jones, and it's absolutely disgusting. All you need to know is racism still exists, and it perpetuates itself even more blatantly by people hiding behind a computer screen.
