I think it’s believable that the tweets were satire. Does anyone have some articles or talks That show they weren’t satire? They definitely weren’t funny, even if they were meant as satire.

Brian? wrote: » Is there any evidence it wasn't satire? I asked earlier. She's a journalist. Surely there should be plenty of anti white bigotry outside Twitter if she's a racist.

Preach preach preach without knowing anything about the people you are preaching about, that qualifies you for hypocrite status right there.

That could be my own bias. But I really am trying to be reasonable her. I’m not actually taking a position, I want to know more.

givyjoe wrote: » Then read the post/blog linked earlier in the thread. There are hundreds of tweets of this stuff. It's just isn't credible to suggest that it's simply satire over that long a period. I was aware of her excuse and I've read the blog of her own posts. It's just not a credible explanation.

I wouldn't be so quick to shrug off this unhealthy trend that's creeping into American society. This ideology is of hatred for "the white man is spreading into college's and university,s across American, and some of these kids are going to be the politicians and policy makers of the future, granted, probably most of the "social studies" students will not come to much other than lifelong activists and college go,ers. California for example is a very left wing, green, open border state, and that's no coincidence due to the very strong and large hippy culture of the 60s in California, those hippy and their kids are now all grown up and are in position of government making policys and laws. And things that happen in America can have consequences for Ireland with our dependency on American multinational companies.

Considering how much this story has blown up, the number of people condemning her tweets and the lack of the usual suspects defending her, is there not a tiny part of you thinking maybe I'm in the wrong on this one?
Brian? wrote: » If her tweets were literal, I don’t agree with her. If they were satire, who knows what she thinks. You’re doing the usual, attacking me directly rather than debating the subject at hand. Stop. It’s tiresome.
