Free Speech is getting everyone and anyone fired these days. From Colin Kaperanick to Charlottesville alt right protesters.

So instead of actually reading an article, you make up what you imagine it says to fit into your narrative?

Don't get me wrong, this story stinks and I have very low regard for Huffpo, but jeez, Orwell could write you right into one of his cautionary tales.

But contrast the minimal to no response to this from the media. Now think what would happen if the model was a white woman saying "ALL blacks are racist..ALL OF THEM!"

You Republicans are so sensitive/paranoid. Not everybody is out to get you, sweetie.

Her position...


“When I stated that ‘all white people are racist,’ I was addressing that fact that western society as a whole, is a SYSTEM rooted in white supremacy — designed to benefit, prioritize and protect white people before anyone of any other race,”


...is very mainstream left, the same thing you might hear from any race activist or ______-studies prof on any college campus.

That's a good point. When she clarified her remarks she gave the "white culture of oppression" angle which has been mainstreamed for a long time.

1) I have no interest in reading it
2) stating what I'm guessing it entails isn't the same as making something up about what it really says

It sounds like I struck a nerve and you took something personally based on your narrative.

Don't care.

A very high percentage of SJW's would make a HUGE deal out of it and the media would pick that up as news.

So yes, the media and social media would be on a witch hunt.

No surprise there.

You're the only one thinking that sweetie. But then again when one doesn't have a leg to stand on the thing to do is deflect and ignore the issue.
