If it's even remotely possible that you know someone who -- after the past few weeks of shootings and protests -- believes racism no longer exists in America, here's a handy crib sheet to give them: Leslie Jones' Twitter account.
The actress and comedian, who by all accounts should be riding high on a big box-office weekend and generally favorable critical reception to the much-hyped Ghostbusters reboot, has instead spent the last 24 hours dealing with shockingly awful, racist vitriol on Twitter. Jones first commented on the vile images, videos and slurs aimed at her on the social network on the morning of July 18, and soon thereafter started retweeting the offensive messages themselves.
