Why the Societal Harassment Of Leslie Jones Exposes the Ugly Black Woman Syndrome

I love Leslie Jones. She is the reason I started watching Saturday Night Live again. I loved her Olympics coverage. I follow her on Twitter and Instagram. I have tweeted her my support and I am disgusted by what is happening to her.
I don’t get what people are reading into the commercial. I had not seen it till I read this post but being a fan of hers, I have seen her flirt with Drake and Peter Dinklage in tv spots for SNL before so I didn’t take offense to it (I wouldn’t have anyway). It is part of her skits all the time.
People make comments all the time about the tags #blackgirlsrock and #blackgirlmagic. This is part of the reason we use them.
