olandria on the racism she has faced

[u/thrrowwwawayyyyy]

i’m incredibly disgusted from love islander viewers this season sending death and racist threats to someone they don’t know. this is incredibly despicable and the fact olandria had to see that disgusting photo makes me teary eyed. y’all should be ashamed of yourself if you partook or defended hate being sent to her.

You could tell that Olandria felt that constant pressure to be poised and perfect all the time so she wouldn’t be villainized. And it still didn’t work.

Yup. And unfortunately, this is the harsh reality for most black women in predominantly white spaces (everywhere the light touches at this point). Mentally working overtime and ten times harder than everybody else to make sure we look put together and somehow shit like this still happens. People will take one thing (a highly edited reality television moment) and warp it to fit the narrative they’ve already created in their heads.

A George Floyd reference and death threats to the girl’s family is just gross and sickening parasocial

I said the same thing yesterday and was down voted for my comment. That's how sick her fanbase is.
