The tweet, sent by Kassy Dillon, a writer for Campus Reform, was directed at Leslie Jones, a black female actress. The message imitated, letter for letter, a tweet originally written by Jones toward another user on the site on March 8, 2015. “You and your friends are bigots,” the tweet said. “If you don’t like me why the [expletive] do you watch let alone contact me. Kill yourself bigot.”
