Liked on YouTube: Azelia Banks Twitter Account Suspended For Racist, Homophobic Tweets, Not Amanda Bynes, Who's Blonde

Azelia Banks Twitter Account Suspended For Racist, Homophobic Tweets, Not Amanda Bynes, Who's Blonde
Azelia Banks' Twitter account was suspended on Thursday and for a series of racist and homophobic tweets toward celebs like Zane Malik of One Direction. But Ms. Banks is not the first high profile female celebrity to go off on Twitter: Amanda Bynes did so in 2011, when she called Drake ugly and then another celebrity a "faggot". Still, Twitter allowed Bynes to keep her account. Why the double standard? Is it because Amanda Bynes is a blonde white woman and Azelia Banks is a black woman? I am not defending Ms. Banks' tweets but I am pointing to what appears to be a race based double standard. Stay tuned.
