However, some tweeps are in defense of Pearl and dragged those in support of the hashtag.

Lastly if you promoting any of these hashtags #PutSouthAfricansFirstNow #PearlThusiMustFall #PutSACitizensFirstNow #MAGA Read this thread or do some research. You are no better than Racists! BTW racists also like to get angry and say they not racist when they get called out!!!
