After a long summer spent kissing their pets on the mouth and defending cops, white people are now spreading to more niche markets: indie music. They've started attacking FKA twigs with racist tweets.
I sincerely hope I never have to writethese words again: FKA twigs might be dating Robert Pattinson, star of theTwilight series. Pattinson used to date Kristen Stewart, hisTwilightco-star.Certain fans of thefantasyseries are emotionally invested in an real-lifePattinson/Stewart romance, and to them FKA twigs is preventing their off-screen union. Hence, the racism.
The musician,as well asher label Young Turks, responded:
I am genuinely shocked and disgusted at the amount of racism that has been infecting my account the past week.

Racism is unacceptable in the real world and it's unacceptable online. FKA twigs (@FKAtwigs) September 28, 2014
The racist abuse @FKAtwigs is getting on her social networks is despicable and depressingly archaic.

Up to all of us to help educate the abusive parties on how hateful their views are and that social media actually links back to real people Young Turks (@youngturksrec) September 28, 2014
In the meantime we can all report, block, and ban the abusive parties from social networks. Love all at YT.

A reminder to all our readers: if you find yourself the target of abusive Tweets, send theinstigatorthis Vine. Itmakes blocking them much sweeter.
