  You can believe it's wrong that these women have said horrible, racist sh*t and should be held accountable for them while also believing they don't deserve to be victims of assault, abuse, and misogny. These things can coexist and people just don't seem to understand that.

  Calling Brooke's tweets "racist" doesn't even cover it, she was celebrating hate crimes. I don't honestly see a redemption arc after that

  Brooke liking a trump post in the middle of trying to apologize is literally insane

  It's so gross to see TANA MONGEAU condemn Brooke for her racism when Tana has such a long list of racism in her past as well. As a white person it's weird, can't imagine how the black community feels on this...

  21 year old indigenous woman here who grew up in southern oklahoma. <br>as a person of color, i relate a lot to d’angelo’s video over brooke’s apology. we can try and have a nuanced conversation around accountability and people’s ability/inability to change all we want, but at the end of the day we (poc) are tired. i have witnessed firsthand what the conservative, far right indoctrination process looks like within families - i have lost friends over it. i have spent the majority of my life defending my own existence and fundamental rights to people i once genuinely cared about. these people grew up in a bubble where that level of hatred was not only acceptable, but normal. that is sad and incredibly hard to unlearn. HOWEVER, people of color and other minorities have had no other choice but to accept the realities of this world because it is thrown in our face everyday. there are minorities who cope with the realities in different ways, some more harmful than others, but few are warranted the decision to claim blissful ignorance. instead we (once again poc) are “suppose to be” continuously teaching white people how to treat us - which is exhausting. so i find it hard to sympathize with brooke and tana’s upbringing when mine (and many others) was very similar, but i never had the choice to stay ignorant because once again this is my existence we are talking about. all of this to say that while i believe that conversations like this are very important, i find it hard to care because at the end of the day these white girls are gonna be fine lmao. i can appreciate brooke’s attempt at taking accountability while also accepting that the rise or fall of her career will not be determined by my support or lack there of.

  As a black woman, I have never and will never like Tana, but I still believe her.

  I know this isn&apos;t the main topic, but the protests I went to while in college in iowa were wild. one night a police officer walked directly up to my roommate, and for context, she is black, and pepper sprayed her point blank. absolutely no rhyme or reason and she couldn&apos;t see for over two hours and was in an insane amount of pain. next day, we go out again, end up getting tear gassed at a completely peaceful protest. a couple people ended up having seizures due to the tear gas and flash bangs. when the ambulances got there and were helping the two people that were having seizures, the police threw tear gas canisters directly at the ambulances and hit them. the mayor condemned their actions, marched with us for a night or two, and then the first night of protests without him, the cops threatened to shoot us with live ammunition. the cops in that county showed us time and time again how blatantly racist they were. they need to fire everyone and build that police force back up with people that actually want to help the community :(

  Omg Brooke, I was raised from birth by the most conservative right wing parents. I didn’t tweet bullshit, I am proudly their greatest disappointment because my views oppose theirs.

  I just want people to start a new tab about Brooke’s issues (racism, homophobia, etc) and NOT have people divert from the FAKE DEAD MOM issue. We can have multiple things be true and be ISSUES at the same time.

  its crazy how a lot of these people are more concerned about picking a side than having their own morals and standing by them...
