Black Lives Matter: Ban Katie Hopkins from Twitter


Black Lives Matter: Ban Katie Hopkins from Twitter
The Issue
As many of you know, protests have been taking place all over the world - including ALL American states. This is major for the BLM movement and the justice we all seek.
Social media is how we all connect. It is how we express our feelings, share our thoughts and how we fight for justice - ensuring nobody gets away with racism and that justice is served for all POC and Black people who have been murdered at the hands of cops, protected by a historically corrupt system.
Some people forget racism isn't just police brutality. It's bullying, being followed around a store because white shop owners assume you'll steal, being passed up for a job opportunity or not getting the promotion they dreamt of despite being more qualified.
Racism is part of THEIR every day lives and although White people do not experience racism, it is an issue we need to address and end TOGERTHER and NOW.
I'm starting this petition because a lot of us have reported Katie Hopkins yet Twitter has done very little. Why is it that someone with such horrific views can tweet freely without repercussions?
I am all for free speech but this is no excuse. Free speech should not incite hatred. As BLM protesters are changing the world, Twitter needs to do their part too and stop all forms of hatred on their platform.
Please sign this petition to ask Twitter to ban Katie Hopkins (and others) from their site, permanently. Share it far and wide. We need change!
A quote from Dear White People on Netflix:
"When you mock or belittle us, you enforce an existing system. Cops staring down the barrel of a gun at a Black man don't see a human being, they see a caricature, a thug, a n*****. So you don't get to claim ignorance...not anymore."
