@OsborneInk @AngryBlackLady really, dude? really? you don’t get it or you are choosing to just be a fucking full on asshole? rock then DUDE.

    @AngryBlackLady @OsborneInk @vdaze @HoneyBadgerLA Well, off the top of my head I’d say racial intimidation. That’s what its been for while.

    @vdaze @HoneybadgerLA @AngryBlackLady let me guess – @OsborneInk doesn’t see this as a racist, misogynist and abusive tweet? Disturbing.

        R U Nadee? @nadiartist

        @OsborneInk @AngryBlackLady in fact I consider that hate speech

        Abel Undercity @abelundercity

        @OsborneInk @AngryBlackLady Dude, you tweeted “The Noose” to an AA woman. What makes you think anyone would stop to listen to the lyrics?

          Louisa @louisathelast

          @OsborneInk @AngryBlackLady I can’t believe this needs to be spelled out- you sent a video with noose imagery to a Black woman. Not neutral.

            RT @geeoharee: Major dick move, this. RT @vdaze .@OsborneInk Please remove my email address from your blog posts immediately.

            @AngryBlackLady @geeoharee @vdaze @OsborneInk What it is with posting personal info people? You do not do that, EVER. TAKE IT DOWN!

              @OsborneInk Dude, I don’t care what you say or think but you do NOT post personal information. Its wrong, its illegal and its stupid.

                @OsborneInk @cjcrew58 It was on her phone and she gave no other details. Outing the workplace of a private citizen, though, is actionable.

                @OsborneInk Oh, really? You’ve never looked at her profile? And what was the purpose of even mentioning, except to intimidate?

                  @OsborneInk You actually treated the women MORE unfairly than you did “Randy.” Get a clue, Matt…

                    @OsborneInk @AngryBlackLady Wow. Still had some doubts about this situation, but seeing you send “The Noose” to a black woman resolved them.

                      @AngryBlackLady @OsborneInk No, just saying that what you are doing by posting personal information is illegal. Your webmaster should know.

                          This is solely a device to use lynching as a metaphor against a black woman. You need to examine your conscience @OsborneInk @AngryBlackLady
