Caucasian Trolls Are Lying About Assaults At 'Black Panther' Theater

White People Are Pretending To Get Assaulted At Black Panther

We all know how massive of a moment Black Panther is for our culture, and it’s no surprise that white people were uncomfortable with a huge moment that, for once, isn’t about them. Though some stuck to angrily tweeting away about how the film is somehow racist because it features a mostly-black cast, other caucasians took it to a whole other level by making up complete stories about being assaulted while trying to see the film.

A number of people on social media decided to post images of actual people who have been assaulted/generic pictures of blood and claimed them as their own. They paired the photos with grandiose stories alleging the injuries were caused by incidents that happened at Black Panther theaters, at the hands of young black people not wanting them there. Though the thought of this is clearly outlandish on its own, a quick google search of any of the pictures used by these trolls proves that they got gory photos off the web to perpetuate a false narrative.

Fake stories being tweeted out include a white woman getting a bottle smashed over her head after being told, “u at the wrong theater” and three black women telling a white girl, “this movie ain’t for you white bi**h.” Stories that are completely over-the-top and beside the obvious fact that they want to ruin this momentous moment for black people, they just want attention.

Luckily, most of the accounts posting these heinous stories have been suspended–but they got a lot of attention before being taken off of Twitter. It’s sad to see trolls so set on getting the attention back on them after 2 seconds of neglect, but that’s what happens when you’re used to getting your way for your entire life.
