So obviously a fake, troll message and so many have fallen for it.

No. It's a real person with a verified Twitter account and a history of posting similar messages.

I do get what you're saying about the media not hyping up its presentation by using biased, declarative language and can agree on the sentiment that they do that way too often.

The problem lies when the media cherry picks which statements to dramatically attack and which ones to use softer language on (calling one statement "controversial" and another similar statement "racist"). They have to be consistent with not editorializing their headlines and stories to be at a higher caliber of professionalism that minimizes bias.

Most choose NOT to be, but if they changed their minds, they could without penalty. America is becoming the " Land of Retroactive Justice" to right past wrongs. Never mind that people who weren't even born when some wrongs occurred are suffering, it doesn't matter if it makes the SJW feel better.
No, I'm starting to understand that the majority of black folks do feel the way she does - they're just too smart to state it publicly when their name can be attached to it. But blame white SJW's for handing over that blank check.

Why is it that when some of you read something you don't want to believe, you quickly denounce it as fake, without doing any due diligence to check if it's real? You look ignorant when you do this.

Feeding white male babies to the wolves?

Must be another day in SJWville.

No.


Unless she is somehow allowing her extremely negative opinion of white people to interfere with her job performance, her opinions should be a non-issue.


In fact, unlike so many that are just as quick to list the reasons why white males are privileged, morally challenged and irredeemable, but then claim to not be racist, she makes no such claim and I find her honesty refreshing.


For the non-white-males out there, it's like the disclaimer at the bottom of every job application that states something to the effect of "We are an equal opportunity/Affirmative Action employer."


That's a lie because you can't be both, so why not admit what everyone already knows.


Non-white-males want something and white males are in the way!


As for the SJWs, of course they want her fired; she is showing the world their true hateful point of view.

So how many progressives are going to argue that she shouldn't be fired and should continue to be allowed to treat patients? Free speech right? Hopefully she's fired and blackballed and can't work in health care ever.
I can’t get upset about every whacked opinion I see on Twitter. That post seems to be in response to something that upset her.

You are joking ..... right? They wouldn't wait for "demands to be fired". If a white nurse in charge of black babies said those black babies should be destroyed- that nurse would be fired immediately. There would be no "investigation" and no equivocation.

When a black nurse says all these racist things - including "sacrificing white babies" , it's "we will check into that". I certainly don't expect to see this story on CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC or PBS.

Yeah, I would have thought so too but someone compiled a bunch of her racist tweets and she’s a little nutty. If she worked at a regular office job I wouldn’t think her opinions matter, but as a nurse she could be dangerous. The funny thing to me is she thought nothing of posting this stuff with her name and photo on her tweets. Why?
