Wow, according to her own words, she is complicit in destroying America. I guess that shows how much of her spiel is simply an act to fool the rubes.

Trump runs each and every day against the “main stream media,” which has always been and continues to be a counterbalance to those in power. The NY Times just made that a whole lot easier for him to do.
I have made my arguments dispasdionately and been insulted by you each and every time so I’ll let you go back to your own vitriol.

Jeong is free to tweet all she likes about white people, but no white person could utter even one of her tweets and expect such a job offer from one of the most prestigious papers in the country.
And I’m sure the people who are enjoying her posts most of all are the Republican speech writers who can take the rest of the summer off as their speeches before the midterms write themselves verbatim from the new face of the NY Times.

But there were horrible comments about Fing white people, and about their going extinct, and comparing their postings to dog shit, and how one of her regrets in life is that she'd never be able to kill a white man, and on and on. If anyone were to post those same things about blacks, you'd ban them.

You are misstating most of what you claim she said and you are taking it all out of context. You are probably not even well enough informed to understand the context. When she tweets about white people going extinct, she is referencing right-wing claims that minorities are taking over. just yesterday, for instance, Laura Ingraham said:

"The America we know and love doesn't exist anymore. Massive demographic changes have been foisted on the American people, and they are changes that none of us ever voted for, and most of us don't like ... this is related to both illegal and legal immigration".

The alt-right constantly references white genocide which they claim will be caused by mixing between races. Jeong is mocking the entire notion that whites are endangered.

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.

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?

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.

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.

What??? I skipped over too quickly. Your comeback is to say that BLM and ISIS get criticized all the time?

I'm speechless.
