Her hateful, sorry - “sarcastic and mocking” tweets continue into 2017. |
| ^^Wanted to add, what’s the point of asking for evidence if you don’t look at it? |
I can't believe the Leading Liberal on this thread is still trying to find a way to justify racist behavior and attitudes by saying it's funny, (Hey, did you hear the one where a black and a Muslim walk into a bar.....) |
| Jokes about black people and Muslims happen all the time. See the Boris Johnson thread. Yet, he will continue to be considered a very serious person and Trump will still support him and you folks will support Trump. Trump, by the way, says even worse things and isn’t joking. |
Who are “you folks?” I don’t support Trump; I think his tweets are vile. So are Sarah Jeong’s. If Trump’s behavior is the new standard for liberals, only changing the object of mockery/hate, then they’ve lost. |
I clearly said that Trump isn’t joking. It is sadly not surprising that you are unable to distinguish between serious statements by a president and humorous mockery by Jeong. The lack of self-awareness by many white people is extraordinary. |
Yup. What has happened here is more than a double standard. It's condemning racism on one hand while justifying or excusing it on the other. Only the object of the hate speech determines whether it should be condemned or excused, apparently. |
I dispute your definition of hate speech. Jeong wasn’t engaging in hate speech. Therefore I am not excusing hate speech. Actual hate speech gets excused by many of you all the time. Just look at the posts defending Trump earlier in this thread. |
And would you ever have made a comment such as this against blacks or Muslims if blacks or Muslims disagreed with YOU on a point? But you are demonstrating the very thing that the NYT did by keeping the racist employed on the editorial staff - that nasty digs against white people are just dandy. And your insistence that it is humorous mockery by Jeong is merely your opinion. You state it as if it's a fact. Most people realize that the extreme content of her remarks, and the length of time she kept up her onslaught, show it was more than a mere mockery, much as you would like to believe that. And why did she have to take out her hatred against cops? Did you read her disgusting crap she tweeted about them? |
You didn’t even read her tweets, as evidenced by your saying they only lasted two years. You’ve made up your mind a priori. |
There you go with another display of a lack of self-awareness. My statement referred to “many” white people, specifically you. Yet, you ignore that qualifier and act like you wouldn’t defend criticism of some black people or some Muslims. It is cluelessness such as yours that makes mockery such as Jeong’s both easy and biting. |
What the PP is saying is the reverse: that no criticism of some Muslim folk and Black folk is tolerated here. |
Unbelievable. So because I refuse to submit to your delusional spin on this topic, and will not defer to SOME liberals' excuse that a woman who tweets hateful, venomous anti-white rhetoric for years is merely a comedian, I am lacking self-awareness? That is so typical of so many liberals. When you come up against people who disagree with what is a ridiculous interpretation on your part, start in with the personal insults. You really aren't one who should be accusing other people of lacking self-awareness. The fact that you don't see the double standard with this - and have made attempt after attempt to justify racism (when it's against whites) is mind-boggling. One thing I have noticed: other than you, only a couple of extreme leftists have come out to defend the NYT racist. They realize how impossible it is to justify, and how blatant the double standard is. They have steered clear of this thread. |
Naw, it's just when you all start going at it like this it's not worth the time or effort. |
That's not true. BLM and ISIS get criticized all the time, as just two examples. It's simply remarkable how you have internalized criticism of certain groups so that it no longer even registers with you. Then, you react to mockery of white people as if you've been scalded by boiling water. Does any of this sound familiar? "If blacks valued education, their schools wouldn't be so bad." "If Muslims oppose terrorism, they should police their community better." "Gun violence is bad, but it's mostly blacks killing blacks. They tolerate this in their community but then attack the police for doing their job." "If blacks don't want to get shot, they shouldn't run from the police." There are posts like that every day here with virtually no complaint. Then Jeong tweets that white people don't know how to make rice and it's a national story. |
