Miley Cyrus got trolled on Instagram this week following a post she wrote.
The star posted an image following the horrific shooting that occurred in Texas with the caption "This is a TERRORIST act by a WHITE AMERICAN MAN!"
Fans were quick to react giving out to Miley for being "racist" and calling her "disgusting for focusing on gender and race".
However, Miley who has since turned off the comments on the post has spoken back in outrage saying that putting the focus on the man's race was exactly her intention.
She said that she wanted to draw attention to the fact this was a "GUNS SITUATION" and not a race situation.
On her post she says:
"I am aghast by the reaction of my latest post, it is completely amazing to me how defensive and in denial this country really is! You are not focused on the horrific tragedy I addressed but more angered that I am putting a BIG bright spotlight on the fact it was a "WHITE AMERICAN MALE" terrorist that walked in & killed 26 people (including children) leaving 20 severely injured."
She explains that when a act of terror occurs by someone of a different race and religion to us, we are quick to judge however, when it is one of our own we don't focus on the same issue.
She continues...
"So since this tragedy has occurred (coming off the cusp of Vegas, another terroristic act by a white American male) DONT START to be all innocent! Gender, race, & religion HAS and continues to matter for all the wrong reasons & that's only the beginning of how backwards this country is! All of you are so focused on protecting yourself, you've completely forgotten that you're not the only one that has to live in this country or on this planet! Aren't you exhausted?"
Since then, people have began to comment under the singer's latest post, admiring her for standing up and speaking back in retaliation to the hate.
Miley then went on to share images of her favourite "white American males" saying: "You are all correct to believe every human deserves the same respect.... but please keep that in mind when you're judging others. NOT just with the race, religion, gender, or sexuality which YOU identify with. Deal?"
She confirmed that she’s split from her fiancé Jesy Nelson has spoken out on her breakup from her fiancé Zion Foster, whom she split with after four years together. The former Little Mix star got engaged to Foster in September, but a source revealed to The Sun last month that the pair had split and […]
