Bonita Tindle
Bonita Tindle is a student at San Francisco State University.
Allegations
In late March 2016, a YouTube video of her went viral on social media. In the video she confronts another student Cory Goldstein on San Francisco State University campus for wearing dreadlocks.
She claimed that the student should not wear his hair in dreadlocks because of his white culture and called it "cultural appropriation".
In April 2016, Tindle came forward to give her side of the story in a now-deleted Facebook post.
She stated that she was triggered by the presence of the white student with dreads and after making a joke to him, he called her a "bitch."
She then followed him and confronted him about his alleged use of the word, and their resulting encounter was caught in the now-infamous viral video.
She stated that after the video went public, she received an enormous amount of anti-Black rape and death threats.
