Roseanne fired but Sarah Jeong hired?

splashuum

I find it incredible that main stream media can pick and choose who and what they define as racist.
Sarah Jeong has just been hired by the New York Times despite her clear hatred against white people. What is even more astounding is that the NYT have doubled down on Jeong after seeing her tweets. They have now publicly declared a vote of confidence in her.

Better, it's white working class. They may even go as far as to say 'no, not working class. all white people' as a defense.

Ethnic Irish people are white skinned. So are jews. Scots etc. European immigrants.

Might start a feedback thread on this anti Irish, anti Celtic, anti Semitic anti immigrant phrase.

Ah we weren't really though. Things weren't always so bad under the Brits & don't forget that our 1916 heros were at the time considered criminals and vandals, by the Irish people themselves, till they were executed

Apart from the genocide that was the famine most Irish were content with their lot

That’s a whole rewrite of history. Happy with their lot under the penal laws?

When I mentioned slavery before i was thinking way back in time to vikings and before. Celts were major victims of roman slavery too, although they often sold each other into slavery.

Is this going to be a thread where lots of people who have never even heard of Sarah Jeong before are going be outraged because she got a job in a paper they don't read?

I’ve lived in the US and have read the NYT. I used to have a sub. Even after I left I kept an internet sub. It’s a fairly world famous newspaper although it’s definitely overrated.

Why would it matter if we never heard of Jeong before?

If the Democrats and media focused on Trumps policies instead of their hysterical meltdowns and "muh Russian Hackers" bollox they'd handily defeat him at the next election.

But no, more hysteria is needed. Twats.

This sort of doubling down by the media is going to hand Trump the White House in 2020.

Unfortunately so. Barring the economy going completely to pot (which it will in no small part thanks to his policies, the question is when) he'll win handily in 2020.

It's important to speak the truth to ourselves, because the media certainly won't do it.

eagle eye

Racism these days is a two way street.

Why can't we all just be people, human beings.
There are idiots who make out that people with darker skin are a lower form of being. As I said idiots.
There are many black people who go around saying they are African-American/Irish/British etc. Those people need to stop doing that. Just call yourself American, British, Irish or wherever you were born. There is no need to highlight the colour of your skin.

As for the Roseanne thing, I think it's all ridiculous. Roseanne should be still on that TV show. Jarrett is a problem maker, looking for any angle and imo it's all for her own agenda which is to keep her in the news.

It'll get you nowhere.

Apparently, we were not enslaved as badly.

The fact that a million Irish died during the famine is not of enough consequence.

racism is just an extension of human tribalism, it's not a helpful trait in our current society but we shouldn't beat ourselves up about it as much as we do.

Even 20 years ago you could see the idea that only men can be sexist and only whites can be racist. Unsurprisingly it has only gotten worse and will continue to do so.

We'll end up need a masculinist movement and white affirmative action. The double standard discrimination is a joke.

Maybe most of the 1% are still white men, but guess what.. I and the vast majority are ordinary Joes not the 1%.

Well according to Vox, the tweets are 6 years old, she was just being sarcastic in her tweets using the language of the alt-right against them and she is a celebrated feminist tech journalist so this is all a storm in a teacup.

The fact that she writes a column in Voxs sister site has no bearing on their defence of her.

At all......

Sure the same could be said about James Gunner(guardian of galaxy fame) but sure his white and out of a job

The New York Times has been a joke for a while now. Their coverage of Trump has been beyond embarrassing.

It seems the BBC is also endorsing Sarah Jeong's racism. They first reported the "The New York Times has defended a new member of its editorial board who wrote racist tweets about white people."

On August 3rd the story was stealth edited to read "The New York Times has defended a new member of its editorial board who wrote inflammatory tweets about white people." They also changed the headline to put racist tweets into quotation marks.

This is on the basis of accepting Jeongs justification for her racism:

"Update 3 August 2018: This article and its headline were updated after reflecting on Sarah Jeong's statement explaining her actions."

So on reflection the BBC accept racism is not racism where they agree with it.

The term alt-right only came into vogue around 2016.

Also she has other tweets about killing all men and cops.

She's an absolute scumbag and the New York Times are the ultimate hypocrites

It's a real bad move by the NYT. I think they have misjudged this one. What are their white customers to think when they see this. This woman is obviously a serious racist. How can they berate anyone in future over racism when they stand by someone like Jeong.

I would have no faith in the New York Times after this.

She was hired because of her tweets, not in spite of them. If they manage to ride out this storm they get more hits. It’s the problem with the internet age.
