(BBC.com)—Hugely popular black American celebrities are at the receiving end of criticism by black Twitter users using the hashtag #BlackCelebsBeLike.
“Racism was an issue for hundreds of years. Then I got money. I think it’s all good now.” That’s just one sarcastic tweet out of more than 13,000 in the past 24 hours shared under the tag #BlackCelebsBeLike.
“We all the same … There’s no racism with the Internet,” one tweet read. Another asked: “How can I complain about racism in Hollywood when we have a Black president?”
Most of the tweets were meant to be heavily ironic and came from African-Americans, attacking the supposed stances of celebrities on everything from interracial relationships to income inequality. The prevailing sentiment was that many famous people turn their back on black causes – in other words, that they get rich and sell out.
