As an upper middle class male WASP, I yearn for a time when I’ll catch a break in this country.

The party of state’s rights, traditional values and limited federal government brought us Sarah Jeong?
Close your eyes and imagine she’s now a man, she’s white, she’s a republican. And she’s talking about Asians.
Now have a nice day.

Let’s look her up…
Oh, I found the part Rush Limbaugh won’t tell you about.
“I engaged in what I thought of at the time as counter-trolling. While it was intended as satire, I deeply regret that I mimicked the language of my harassers. These comments were not aimed at a general audience, because general audiences do not engage in harassment campaigns. I can understand how hurtful these posts are out of context, and would not do it again,” Jeong wrote.
I’m sure the people that keep booking Alex Jones and Mike Cerbovich clearly understand that.

Conservatives never understand satire. But they’re happy to use that misunderstanding to make some kind of point when they need to demonize someone.
If they want to go tit for tat on news organizations hiring people of questionable moral integrity, I don’t think that will end very well for them.
And you believe that garbage?
By the way Conan, bad form on the KKK thing brother.

It’s incredible how many times we’ve cycled through this conversation and how apparently 6th grade social studies is too complex and nuanced for grown ass people to comprehend.
I would think that that tech writer would be an ■■■■■■■■■■■■ Sarah Jeong may be… but it depends on how someone who is the target of the mean tweets may feel.
But… I still don’t see how a tech writer is working to regain power.
I don’t know. Is it that hard to not write racist sounding things on social media? I never have. Why do we keep lowering the bar as to what is socially acceptable?
I’m the target.
You’ll be fine.
I did not say it was acceptable. I only said it’s getting sickening the way both left and right wing mobs go on a rage and demand someone’s firing over old tweets or articles.
Every week there will be a new one.
Yeah… I looked into the #cancelwhite people was about some reaction to the treatment of Hae Min Lee’s ( the murdered subject of the podcast Serial) treatment on a subreddit or something…
I started to try to find what sparked it but I lost interest.

Ah, context. Conservatives don’t do context.
I’d like to see it all in context. Sometimes people falsely claim context to excuse bad behavior.
Thoughts and prayers.

Oh. She Poe’d them.
And apologized.
So conan got duped again? Good for him…
And we’re surrounded by Poes here, but we’re supposed to believe her excuse is garbage.
