A viral tweet has left Harvard University facing an outcry from an unlikely group of free speech advocates — the Barbz.
Barbz — the name given to the devoted fans of rapper/singer/songwriter Nicki Minaj — have taken to Twitter to defend the expressive rights of several Harvard undergraduate students who were told to take down a flag depicting the rapper hanging in their residence hall window.
On Sept. 5, a Harvard undergrad writing under the Twitter handle @imjustjuice tweeted that he and his suitemates had been contacted and told to remove the flag over concern that “the community will find the flag offensive.” Presumably sent by a Harvard official, the email did not explain how the flag — depicting a bikini-clad Minaj saluting in front of an American flag — could be considered offensive.
@imjustjuice tweeted, accompanied by a photo of the flag and a screenshot of the email:
Harvard really said no Barbz allowed in school 😔 😔 THIS is where harvard draws the line?! #JusticeForNicki.

“In quantum mechanics, a boson (/ˈboʊsɒn/,[1] /ˈboʊzɒn/[2]) is a particle that follows Bose–Einstein statistics and was discovered by Satyendra Nath Bose. Bosons make up one of two classes of elementary particles, the other being fermions.[3]”

Nicki gave an interview a few years ago and said she used to be bi but now she’s just hetero. Which threw the gay, lesbian, and tranny crowd (who were big purchasers of her albums ) into a tizzy, with Minaj called a sexual ‘traitor’ and guilty of “bisexual erasure’. Harvard’s student body is overly represented in gay, lesbian and tran students.
wonder what the translation of that tattoo on her left arm is...
I thought the flag was going to be way more offensive.
It’s offensive because she saluting with the wrong hand. 😂

Me, I’m a headbanger (Up the Irons!) so I googled it myself. lol
It's a translucent flag hanging from a window taken from the inside. If you look at it from outside she'd be using her right hand.
Like you, I’m not seeing the offense here. She is lovely.
