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.

Left handed salute?...
Ugly stupid skank has a flag?
And the flag is hung backwards too.
Maybe the negative got reversed?
She’s better than Cardi B...
Who would be offended by that?
I do t k is how to feel about this. These days anyone depicting salting the flag, I have a hard time saying it shouldn’t be allowed. Although the left ha fed salute it strange
All of those upset are probably 32 A’s.
She’s a bosun.
They were probably offended by the flag more than the boobies
Bosom?...
At Harvard, the American Flag is offensive.
Well, she does have two brains.

All it takes is one leftist to be offended, and all hell breaks loose. That’s both pathetic and scary.
Old-time liberal: “I do not like that picture. So I will not look at it.”
Modern liberal: “I do not like that picture. So it must be removed immediately.”
Not reversed when seen from outside the building.
Must be. Post#16 shows the “Chinese” tatt on her left arm.
“Flag” or “fag?”
