The Story So Far
Hyley Dibona recently made the news for being fired from her job at Regal Cinemas for making controversial twitter posts.  Apparently after making the posts, twitter users began tweeting to Regal Cinemas.  They eventually posted a reply implying that she was no longer employed.
Quick Facts
Hyley appeared to be responding to a tweet
Most sites are only reporting Hyley’s tweets and not the tweet or post she was responding to.
Hyley's remarks are insensative, but racist? You decide!
When responding to the above tweet made by an unidentified person, the remarks Hyley made were definitely insensitive considering the Tragedy that just happened in Charleston SC.
This has no association with the tragedy in Charleston SC
This is a case of really bad timing, but none of her posts reference or have any relation to the tragedy in Charleston South Carolina. The media that reports it as having an association with Charleston are using a tragedy to incite anger.
What about the posts that slipped under the radar?
People are extremely fast to accuse someone of racism in 2015, but there are two extremely racist posts made that have gone unnoticed, why is this?
Hyley was fired from Regal Cinemas
Regal Cinemas did release a statement that implied that she was no longer employed with the company.

The exact same thing happened to Shana Latrice.  She made a ill advised post and was fired from her job as well after people complained to her employer.  I personally feel that both just said something without thinking and I will not convict either of racism, however, that’s my personal opinion.  I’m going to put up a poll and let you decide.
What I will never understand personally is that the people of Charleston SC forgave the terrorist that murdered members of their family. Dylann Roof took from them what meant the most, their loved ones. He should pay for his actions via a death penalty.
Yet on social media it’s a different story. People react strongly to certain things that are said, but it does have a certain bias to it.  Hyley and Shana were fired from their jobs, yet the person that called the Charleston SC victims families “coons” hasn’t received any backlash that we can find. Why is that?  Why does the person who said “South Carolina smells 9 times better now” who then changed his picture to a picture of himself with a gun sitting next to him, why does he not get backlash?

Article Re-write 6/22/2015
Most people that found this article while searching for Hyley Dibona disagreed with our opinion. We re-wrote the article to be less biased and then entered Our opinion here. We see things differently than most, we have a bit more experience with the “reaction” than most people do.
While confronting the Eric Sheppard Challenge, We were threatened hundreds of times, images of our houses were posted and people threatened to put hole in our head. When that didn’t work they started posting our addresses while accusing us of various things ranging from leading the KKK to trying to kill people.
In our case, there are no screenshots or evidence against us, but we still got the “reaction” because someone incited it. That’s why we have an opinion that will more than likely disagree with yours. We are strongly against this type of reaction, and believe that when people threaten someone and their family over an online post it’s taking it too far. We (illwriteit) laugh at it, but most people probably don’t. We also disagree with calling someone’s job and believe that’s too far, however you aren’t breaking any law if you do so we can’t stop you.
Social Media has erased the backspace key in life.  Almost all tablets and smart phones have some form of screen capture capability built unto them.  When you post something on social media, in 2015, it is forever.  Back in the day you could say “Oh my I’m sorry I didn’t mean that” when you slipped, but not any more.
The freedom social media provides also has consequences.  The people that harass, threaten, and get people fired from their jobs over social media posts are imposing a biased censorship on social media. If you have an opinion that is offensive, wrong, or racist, there can be permanent consequences, and in some cases harm.
It is also a sign of terrible racial relations in America. There are many from both sides on social media that feel the need to wreck someones life when they make an ill advised comment regardless of the damage they do.  They know nothing about the person, they do no research, no investigating, all they see is a post.  That’s all they need to permanently judge the person in question and make their best effort to destroy their life.
Finally somebody did some research! Thank you for this.
Upon researching this “original quote”, none existed. I searched twitter for it and it would seem as if Hyley conjured up the quote from thin air. Also, she is obviously Italian, those who harassed her were simply venting their frustration planted in them by DiBona’s mindless bigotry. The author of this article is the epitome of white privilege, the only reason you’ve attempted to discretely justify her actions is because you perceived her to be so yourself.
That’s why I posted both sides of it on the article that deals with this right? Including Shana Latrice getting fired from Seaworld for the same thing? Why would I call an African American not racist for making a negative statement about white people. In both cases people said something stupid. You didn’t even realize the racist statement at the bottom of the actual article, made by Andrew Darken, because you just came on here looking for racism somewhere.

Then you tried to say, people threatening harm on her, people threatening harm on her family, they are just venting frustration. What a load of BULLSH**. What racism, it’s not OK for a white woman to make a ill advised statement, but it’s OK for people of any race to threaten to kill her?
And now all of her tweets are being put together with the shooting, which is complete crap! None of her tweets mention anything about the shooting. This just got blown way out of proportion. Unreal!
J*s*s chr*st, want to figure out more ways you can make excuses for her? Not hard to tell whose side you’re on with this article. And people say journalism isn’t dead….I can see the point you were trying to make, but way to not come up with ANY evidence whatsoever to support your argument. And solely arguing in DaBoners case. Clearly not a biased retard.
You want to know who’s side I’m on? I’m on the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church’s side. Today they sat down and prayed and FORGAVE the shooter. How many times did the family of the 9 that were murdered threaten the shooters family? These people lost lives, and they still forgave him. I’m not on the side of a bunch of racists who hated on a white girl, Italian, whatever, race doesn’t matter to me, because she said something after she was incited on Twitter. I also filtered out what you wrote for your first word, you should have more respect for the 9 than that. Would you use that kind of language in front of them?
As with most biased comments like yours, you refuse to acknowledge that I stand up for Shana Latrice, who was fired from her job at a Zoo because she made derogatory statements about white people. I say that NEITHER ARE RACIST, and that’s the truth.

Where’s the response that elicited the “White girls make it hard for minorities” post. It doesn’t have an @twittername so I’m curious as to who she was responding to with that statement?
Sh***y post. Enough with the excuses. Racist is racist and there is no room for it in this country. People like that deserve to suffer.
Sh***ier response, wanting someone harmed based on what they say on social media.
So, here’s my issue with your view on all this: You are defending her right to freedom of speech which I respect. But then I look at your “Villains” page and you target “flag desecrators” with the same type of contempt that many people have for Ashley DiBona. Do you not understand that while it may be distasteful to you, desecrating the flag IS a form of expression that is protected by the First Amendment. So said the US Supreme Court. That you rail about free speech rights of a girl who made a choice to put her bigotry on full display – knowing full well that it could be shared and retweeted well outside her immediate circle of friends….but you condemn and publicly shame people who are exercising that same freedom of speech. You’ve got some double standards you need to consider before you get up on a soapbox again.
I disagree with you 100%. We don’t post jobs, we specifically say on the bottom of every page we don’t condone violence against them, and we list the City/State. With most people being from cities, the odds of locating them based on that information is about 1 in 7,000,000 on average, so it’s absolutely nothing like what people have did to Dibona. Also all the people we listed for flag desecration share something in common with Dylann Roof now, being that he did it twice on his own, EXIF data proved Dylann Roof did the #ericsheppardchallenge. We’re not really concerned about someones reputation who shares the same views as a mass murderer.
As for the word you used… Bigotry: “intolerance toward those who hold different opinions from oneself.
According to a dictionary, the word Bigotry defines every single person that attacked Dibona so far to a T. They are expressing their intolerance toward her opinion.
And as usual, nobody see’s that Shana Latrice was defended in the same article. Everyone just see’s the person they want to criminalize because that’s what they found this page for.
Dibona, Latrice, one’s Italian apparently the other is African American, they both said something stupid, and we don’t consider it racist.
People need to understand that social media is NOT the place to be a misogynist, racist, or a homophobe. When you express your opions in a social medium it can and often will come back to bite you in the rear.
Don’t be a person of influence, law enforcement. officer, political official because when you fail to think and say some stoopid mess to the world, it’s most likely going to affect the status of your university, job or political party. That’s gonna put your neck on the chopping block in a hurry.
Humans are one of the view species that has higher reasoning but do not exercise it wisely.
The fire fighter who posted his idiotic remark should have been fired, the Regal Cinema employee should also have been fired and the fast food employee should’ve been also fired.
People need to think before they yell to the world how they negatively feel about other people, it just may cost you everything!
I agree with some of what you say, but I disagree that you can label someone as a misogynist, racist, or homophobe based on a few comments posted on social media. Especially homophobe, I don’t like diet Pepsi, but that doesn’t mean I run screaming when someone drinks it in my presence. If you don’t like or even hate someone it doesn’t imply a phobia. Personally I feel that people should be able to chose their sexual partner free of discrimination, but at the same time I won’t label someone who doesn’t like it as a homophobe because phobia is the fear of something, not the hate of it.
I also think that you shouldn’t be able to be fired from your job based on what you post on social media, I think that’s ridiculous and it’s the definition of bigotry if you disagree with someones opinion so much that you’d try to ruin their life over it.
your fired !
While I will never condone threats of violence toward any person I agree with Dibona and Latrice being fired. They worked in the service industry & must deal with all cultures. Their posts showed obvious bias which will reflect in the service they provide.
It is unfortunate that Dibona’s tweets were connected to the Charleston shooting but unquestionably show bias.
I am surprised that the Andrew Darken FB post has not drawn any criticism. That is unfortunate.
I have listened to the public opinion and have rewrote this article as of 6/22/2015 10:48. I’ve made it less biased and put a poll up so that the public can voice their opinion. I will have an opinion that disagrees with most people viewing this article, because you’re searching for Hyley Dibona, but this website isn’t about me so I’ve made it more accommodating to you, more than likely.
There’s a good chance that other people will visit this website searching for the same thing, so if you post a comment voicing your opinion, make sure you put thought into it. Be convincing, explain why you think the way you do, sell it.
Personally, I’ve had people use this tactic against me, without any screenshot evidence, when I opposed the Eric Sheppard Challenge. As a result my family was threatened, including my 70 year old parents. When I wouldn’t back down my address was posted and I was accused of leading the KKK. That’s why I have a very strong reaction to it and disagree when people threaten people over what they say on Social media, because in some cases, the person never said it. That’s definitely not the case with Hyley and Shawna, just the explanation of why I’m against the reaction.
So any comment you see older than 10PM 6/22/2015 is in response to the previous article.
I want to make an important point to you. Hyley Dibona did not apologize for her offensive tweets. She is not someone who simply “made a mistake.” She didn’t post her response, realize the implications of it, and then delete it. She continued to post racist things. Every tweet was worse than the previous, ending with one that said something along the lines of “ME AND MY NIGGAS BE BRACKIN.” I notice that you haven’t screenshotted and posted this disgusting tweet. The girl deserved to lose her job. Regal Cinemas is not a company that condones racism, Hyley is free to get a job somewhere that is okay with racism, and then she can go on tweeting whatever she would like. That is her freedom. Her freedom does not allow her to be blatantly racist without suffering consequences from decent people.
I want to point out you are quite wrong, Hyley’s marked her twitter account as private so that nobody else could see it within 24 hours of making the post. You also didn’t complain about Obama using the N word yesterday during an interview. Why is it ok for some people to say racist things, but not others, is it because of the color of their skin, and if so how isn’t that racist?
Nothing you said here proves I’m wrong? She marked her profile private because she got fired from her job. She was recieving backlash from many people after her FIRST tweet but continued posting ridicuously racist things because she thought she was untouchable. She was wrong.
Also, even you, someone who has consistently demonstrated their inability to understand how to properly compare things, can understand that Obama using the n-word to draw attention to racism and a white girl using it to be blatantly racist isn’t comparable.
Anyway. As my name says. Try again.
You said that she didn’t delete it which is where you’re wrong. The purpose of deleting something is to hide it, she still made her profile private which accomplishes the same thing. She didn’t apologize for it, and to the best of my knowledge, though I’m sure if she did you’ll know, neither did Shana.
Even though Shana specifically targets white people I still don’t consider her comments racist. People are too quick to jump on the racist bandwagon. For racism to me you have to demonstrate a clear ideal that your race is superior to others, neither women did it. We all know they were both “irked” by something and responded to it without thinking.
“prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one’s own race is superior.”
Here’s the thing too, I have the #1 spot on google for this persons name, Hydey, and while at first I was pretty biased to defending Hydey & Shana at the same time, I changed it in the end due to public opinion to allow the public to vote.
So the comments I get from this are that I’m a republican and a right winger, though people fail to notice I have attacked just as many republican sites as I have liberal ones.
I defended Chief Anita when Republican sites slandered her with no factual evidence:
http://www.illwriteit.com/the-framing-of-assistant-chief-anita-najiy/
And specifically attacked America’s freedom fighters and top right news which are right wing sites:

http://www.illwriteit.com/top-right-news-profits-off-of-sexually-degrading-women-terrorism-rioting-and-flag-desecration/
Yet somehow I am accused of being a republican due to defending someone that I don’t consider racist?
decent people?when has anyone in the last century ever meet a decent gar?
The ONLY reason you are comparing Hyleys situation to Shana’s is because she is African American so you can lay this narrative “hey black people can be racist too!”. What hyley said, was implying the literal expulsion of minorities because of their complaints, and also continued to do so amidst the controversy, she was looking for trouble. I mean she only just now deleted the tweets and even retweeted something that said “if she’s racist or not, she shouldn’t be fired”. Like seriously? She retweeted something prefaced with “racist or not”. Its easy to see why Hyleys situation is given more press than Latrices becuase 1) she wasn’t nagging the case and 2) the recent history of white supremecy, African american oppression, and immigrant dislike has been centered around white people. I know you’re going to take this as a “why are white people being punished for the past”. Well, it isn’t that far back behind, look at our jails, commmunties and finances. All in all, hyley was way more nagging about her opinion and was attempting to entice her audience . alrhoufg I do believe lattice should have been fired, I don’t believe that the poll should include her,as they are barely similar in actions.
Your comment is so ridiculous I almost didn’t approve it, but in an effort to show people the double standards racists like you have, I did.
You’re really hurt that I mentioned Shana, even though I also defended her, because you claim I want to make African Americans look racist? That is about the dumbest thing I’ve heard in my life.
You want to compare tweets, and your comments show what a racist you are. Hyley said minorities, Shana said White people specifically, to a white person, something a racist like yourself wouldn’t consider, the comment about rude ass white people could be quite offensive. You can’t do what you are doing and try to compare statements to see which one was worse, they both have the same severity.
And yet here you are searching for a girls name so that you can go hate on her because you have nothing else better to do with your day, must be a sad life. That is how you found this, through google.
Also I can see you have no investigative skills as well, as there are several “Right wing” websites that we go after on this website as well.
Since you want to make stupid names, I edited your name and changed it to someone more fitting for you.
I just wanted to thank you for creating this article with actual knowledge of the situation. Sorry for such a late reply but I am just now seeing it and wanted to reach out to you and let you know that this is the first article I have read that has not been biased towards me. Thank you for that and thank you for your time in helping others understand the situation a little better. Much appreciation for you and your site!
