The only other argument you can make is that it is ok to make any sort of race based anti white statement while using a slur in a single sentence is a word crime unless that slur is against whites. It is a complete double standard and one that you pick up from your people like Maddow or institutions like the NYTs.
Now when you say this is a societal standard now, and not created by these elites and institutions, I would have to say that the 2016 election shows that to be the opposite of the situation. In spite of 90% of papers supporting Hillary, grass roots support did not support her.
In any case, I will continue to argue my own beliefs and try to support them. When I have become 1984âd enough that I say a particular action is wrong because that is what the majority on the internet believe, then I hope I have the introspection to realize I no longer have an opinion worth stating. I will just refer to the latest polls.
In the meantime, I will state what MY opinion of double standards and hypocrisy are and note when the NYTs or any other major thought control center show that hypocrisyâŚas they have done here.
Good points.
Actually there has been a huge campaign against even admitting the content of Jeongâs comments. For example, Wikipedia has refused to include actual quotes and instead merely says that âcritics characterized her tweets as racistâ. In contrast they are very specific about Barrâs comments.
Twitter recently suspended the account of a conservative, Candace Owens, who simply substituted âJewish peopleâ for âwhite peopleâ in some of Jeongâs comments. (I canât post a link without violating our terms of service.)
On top of that a NY Times writer has been forced apologize for criticizing Jeongâs racism:
The hypocrisy of the guardians of the left is showing.
More people in this country voted against Trump than for him, so your logic that âgrass roots didnât support Hillaryâ fails on its face.
Good griefâŚ
That doesnât answer my question at all doug. You âgoogledâ Jeong? So when the results popped up, which ones did you âtake seriouslyâ enough to click on?
There are plenty of articles both what I would call mindlessly condemning her without taking into account at all how much publicity there has long been about women being harassed online, including racially slanted attacks, and her explanation and apology for having returned fire with similar post aimed at what she felt were her attackers, or did you âtake seriouslyâ articles reporting things with more context?
You donât need to bother answering as given your reply it is obvious which type you âtake seriouslyâ, but you still didnât answer what those sources are in general.
What black people attacking her was Roseanne responding too when she made her ape comment about a black woman doug, the sources that I trust didnât report anything about it, how about yours?
Is the Daily Wire news? From the headlines I saw there, it looks like a fake news tabloid.
Actually, the source I used was an apologist for Jeong, along the usual liberal line of its only bad if a white person does it. I didnât reference it because that argumentâŚstinks.
I used it because it was the first one I could find that actually listed her racist comments, as most donât want to prejudice the argument against what she said by actually showing you what she said.
Anyone check out Jeongâs tweets? Sheâs got a very good sense of humor.
So⌠blah, blah, blah⌠I donât care about the reality of the world and how women are treated on the net⌠blah, blah, blah⌠I will ignore any and all nuance along with any differences between Jeongâs and Barrâs situation at the time of their comments and insist that they should be treated the same regardless because it works right into my need to bash the left about anything and everything⌠blah, blah, blahâŚ
âalong the line of its only bad if a white person does it.â <â Totally â â â â â â up interpretation of whatever was actually written there doug.
So itâs pretty clear that whatever sources you âtake seriouslyâ arenât really the problem. No matter what you read or hear, youâre a good Trump bot you donât believe it and just hear and see what you want.
Weird jumble of words.
Yep:
âOh man itâs kind of sick how much joy I get out of being cruel to old white men,â she wrote in one.
âWhite people marking up the internet with their opinions like dogs pissing on fire hydrants,â she wrote in another.
â#CancelWhitePeople,â another said.
Thatâs top notch humor right there, Doug. I understand why you donât get it though.
Itâs satire. Surely, you can appreciate that. Kinda like what trump often does, which I know you appreciate.
Yet another example of conservatives not understanding humor.
So if Omarosa were actually able to back up her book claim that Trump used the N word, could we write that off as satire too?
I canât see how #CancelWhitePeople doesnât scream satire. He used the same examples to prove his point that I wouldâve used to prove mine.
Racial jokes are back in style, then?
Jokes about racism will always confuse some.
You can write it off however you like, which Iâm sure you will if it turns out to be verified. It will be fun to watch.
Poking fun at power will never go out of style.
Iâm sure that if Trump did use the N word, he would have been speaking satirically. White comedians use that word all the time and nobody cares at all.
