Leftists Get Ugly, Celebrate Death of Lynette Hardaway On Social Media

People across the country paid tribute to Lynnette Hardaway, best known as Diamond of the duo Diamond and Silk, after she passed away Monday night. But not everyone was gracious, many others took the opportunity to trash a dead woman and her grieving sister.

Some of the uglier posts on social media celebrating the death of a great American are below:

“Diamond and Silk were conservative White America’s Black friends. They created a permission system for Trump supporters to be racist. When they were called out for bigotry, they would just say how much they loved Diamond and Silk. Grifters. That said, RIP Diamond.”

“RIP Diamond, conservatives just lost one of the few black people they can use to pretend they aren’t racist.”

“RIP, Diamond. Her real name, for all of the Conservative white folks who only know her as the paid minstrel show gimmick she sold herself as, is Ineitha Lynnette Hardaway. I betchu Trump and most of The Right can’t even tell you which one was Diamond and which one is Silk.”

A Give Send Go page was been set up in her honor with a message that says:

Sending my love to the family and friends of Diamond from @DiamondAndSilk.

She was a wonderful person and will be deeply missed by so many people. ❤️ pic.twitter.com/6OYqoVAf7F

“The World just lost a True Angel and Warrior Patriot for Freedom, Love, and Humanity! Diamond blazed a trail, founded on her passion and love for the entire race of humanity. The memory of her passing should forever remain in our hearts. In this time of grief, please respect the privacy of Diamond’s family but remember and celebrate the gift that she gave us all!”

Former President Donald Trump said: “Really bad news for Republicans and frankly, ALL Americans.

“Our beautiful Diamond, of Diamond and Silk, has just passed away at her home in the State she loved so much, North Carolina. 

“Silk was with her all the way, and at her passing. There was no better TEAM anywhere, or at any time! Diamond’s death was totally unexpected, probably her big and precious HEART just plain gave out. 

“Rest In Peace our Magnificent Diamond, you will be greatly missed!”
