Making sarcastic jokes about white people on Twitter is not remotely the same thing as accusing families of shooting victims of profiting of off their deaths in pursuit of an 'agenda'.
 
Lol please dude. Archie is right.
Did you actually read her tweets? They were pure vitriol.
I'm sure One Brow doesn't have a problem with the her tweets either.

I am capable of detecting irony. Sorry if that's difficult for some others. This article by Ezra Klein does a pretty good job of summing up how I feel about the whole thing.

Jeong's tweets and these dumbass conspiracy theories (that have actually caused real hurt and hardship for the families targeted) aren't in the same ball park. ****, they're not even the same sport. Until you can point to an example of someone actually being harmed by Jeong's tweets (lol) this equivalency remains false.

A common trait about the skeptical crowd is they are SKEPTICAL. They cant even trust each other enough to ever organize into anything meaningful. They always splinter and fracture. Babe and James both show that in this thread.

James is still posting?!
I figured he would have been arrested for burning down a synagogue by now.
 
Alex Jones (who I guess I must state I think it an absolute lunatic before you berate me for thinking i'm some supporter of his) should just come out and say he's being ironic and this should all blow over. Just a prank bro.

The fact is you are drawing an obituary line in your head on what hate speech is acceptable and which isn't. She used hate speech and in other instances (aka she was white and the tweets were directed at someone who was black) she's be outcasted for such behavior by you very same people. It's a dangerous (and ironic) game to play to excuse such behavior because "lol it's toward white people, don't matter."

I'm comfortable in saying Sarah Jeong is an ***-hole.
 
Will do man. Keep excusing her behavior while you attack others for the same stuff.

I'm not excusing what she did. But it is not the same.

It's not like she was just stereotyping white people like "lol look at those crazy white people and their culture" she was straight up saying some nasty ****. I agree it's not the same, and what those people said to the families is absolutely worse but the way someone can condemn something like that than turn a blind eye to what she said is ridiculous. And I'm not trying to pick on Zombie, a lot of people share that view and it just doesn't make sense to me.

I agree. What she said was unacceptable and disgusting.

Yes, they put themselves in this position by sending their kids to school, and having them shot to death.

CNN and other political push "news" retailers put them in front of their cameras and used them for political purposes. Not civilized enough to let folks have their privacy in a time of grief. If not for that, Jones would have had nothing to talk about but the drugged shooter.

I finally read the article. I thought, why the eff not, let's see how Zombie feels.

The article pretty much like someone defending Trump. It brushed what she said off as a joke and anyone with a brain could tell it was satire. It called the people who are upset by them racist alt-right trolls. Literally argues **** like, well, there are way worse people out there so we should focus of them. It also argues using the pharse white people doesn't actually refer to white people at all - just their power. Then the auther blames twitter.

I can only help but think you don't actively think this, do you? Have you read her twitter feed itself or are you just saying what you think you should say? I mean, I'll even call out Shapiro at stuff I can't get behind, but you seem to be all on board with the choo choo train.

I like how you used the word "talking" and then "slander."

The difference between her and Rosie, IMO, is Sarah is a racist who slanders an entire race and stereotypes both it's males and females as well as the police and has an Harvard Law degree. Rosie made fun of one's appearance and compared her to something that anyone in their right mind knows you can't say because it's going to come across as ****ing racist but didn't think about it because she literally thought she was white and has ambien.


One of those above is worse than the other, by far, imo because I actually believe Rosie thought she was white (I thought the same thing too when I googled her.) If she knew, then she's a racist **** too.

I think it's a good example of cognitive dissonance.

I know Ben Shapiro has said some pretty ****** things, but since I like some of what he says, it makes it easier for me to not think about. But even in that article Zombie posted about him I admitted there were things I couldn't get behind with him.

There's a power in knowing your bias and why you think they way you do. There's also a power in admitting what you stand behind is wrong.

Technically you can't slander an entire race. Slander means something specific in a legal sense.
