NY Times Newest Editor Hates White People

Intolerance is not the same thing as racism.

Whites DO have a monopoly on racism.

I never said it was. The person I was replying to was speaking about intolerance - specifically political intolerance.

In this country only if you define racism institutionally do white have a monopoly on it. If you're just speaking of racist attitudes there are plenty of non-white people who are just as racist. Even more so when you look globally.
 
Of course it does. Trump's record is extensive and it speaks for itself.

If you read the NYT everyday you wouldn't need to badger the Duck into producing a list that you wouldn't even bother to read.

And yet, you cannot give me a quote that is worse than that racist at the NYT.

You have nothing.
 
May a 50MT nuke flatten the entire city. they've been a leech on the rest of the state long enough.

Right. Who do you think pays most of the taxes in this state? Hint: It ain't Buffalo.
 
You should have the integrity to show my entire post, and then respond to it.
LMAO nice try but a complete fail

1.)wasnt addressing your entire post i simply pointed out the part that was factually wrong and stil is. You should have the integrity to not post lies :shrug:
2.) NOTHING in your post changes the your claim is factually wrong.
if you disagree then simply support your claim and prove "white people can be vicitums of racism" we'd all love to read it.

also lets see your honesty and integrity and answer the question the other poster complete ran from. its a simple question.

I think NYT needs to review their hiring policies and screening process. They should have found these tweets before even extending an offer, unless they did and agree with those tweets (which is even worse).

Just more proof that liberals are a hypocritical self-loathing group, where any racism against whites is fine, but any other isn't, which is about as hypocritical as you can get, really, because racism is racism and sexism is sexism, regardless of whom it is against and from whom it stems.

And it's the same people with the this same level of thought (or lack there of) that wishes the reigns of power in the government?
Err. I think not. #WalkAway

Whatever happened to the myth of tolerance of the left anyway? If there was something to bring that, I'd vote for that.

I think they recognize that the only people who are upset over these tweets are people who aren't going to read their paper anyway.
 
Bigotry is wrong no matter whom you target. You can play semantics with the world "racism," but the fundamental principle remains: Judging people and treating them harshly based solely on skin tone is vile behavior.

This is something that I recognize that many white people do understand, and I recognize it is not to their advantage to understand. Prejudice is vile. Racism means that Blacks have 6% of the wealth that whites have. It means Blacks are much more likely to go to prison than whites, and for the same crime, and spend a longer time there if whites are sentenced. And that's just the beginning.

Prejudice is vile. Racism is a national tragedy and moral crime that is perpetrated, in part, by whites insisting that racism is the same thing as prejudice.

That any white person could be upset over another person saying mean things about them is laughably absurd. Whites get off pretty easy in the racist world they have created and benefit from so handsomely.
 
But an acceptable form as it only harms bigots and racists

So all white men are bigots and racists?

I really don't find that justified.

But if one is going to be accused of being a bigot and racist just by the color of ones skin, what more damage could be done by actually starting to be a bigot and racist?

And yet the fact remains white people can be victims of racism :shrug: Denying that or claiming otherwise is part of the problem and not part of the solution.

Yet the left applauds it when it's against those they find it acceptable against.

If it weren't for double standards the left would have no standards at all.

Sweet irony
you are grouping the left all together and also being part of the problem and not part of the solution LMAO
 
I'm a liberal and far from a Trump supporter. You need to wake up to what some progressives actually espouse these days. Case in point:



Most conservatives are not Nazis, and most liberals are not Antifa. Let's not equate typical political stances with the worst, most vile caricatures we can find.

In the left's intersectional and hypocritical world it is perfectly acceptable, and applauded, when they paint with an overly broad brush against those that they don't like just as it is perfectly unacceptable and excoriated of those who do the same against those do like.

How this survives causing any connotative dissonance in the left, or to any thinking individual (which may excludes any from the left) is still a mystery.
 
A private citizen in a private job wrote two offensive tweets!?!
OMFG, call the snowflake brigade!!

In the Trump-era, that doesn't even register. You're not worried about Russian trolls on twitter, why would you be worried about two tweets in contrast? Too funny.

They can be victims of prejudice, but not of racism. Its actually pretty offensive that white people would equate the two. But its understandable. Whites risk giving up a lot of wealth and power by facing the truth.
 
We are in a historic surge in racism.

Yet Blacks are supposed to smile and pretend things aren't going to hell.

The funny part is that if the whiners were Black, instead of White, they would be screaming, not whining. Of course, if they were Black, they'd know that could get them killed.

Meh. What influence do I have over the left? (not part of the solution) None at all. I see crap double standards like this, and I just <*sigh*>.

Fair enough though, the criticizsm doesn't necessarily apply to all of the left.

It wouldn't apply to the classic liberals, for example, but isn't that an endangered species by now?
(Given the lurch to the far left the Democratic party has taken and apparently is supporting?)

I said being intolerant of intolerance is a good thing

So unless you are claiming all white men are bigots and racists, then no being intolerant of white men is not ok. Now as a White Man, I can say I have not experienced any intolerance towards myself. I am not a faux victim like so many.

Seems that 'historic surge in racism' is coming from the left more so than from anywhere else.

Where can you cite a mainstream right of center publication which is supporting racism and sexism?
On the left, apparently with this decision from the NYT, it is present on the left.

It depends very much so on how one defines what being 'intolerant' is.

Given the thread's example, apparently being intolerant of white males is perfectly acceptable.
Is the same publication going to allow for the same standards to be applied to to being intolerant of those that aren't white males? I rather doubt it.

The whole thing reeks of the left's disgusting double standards on this.
 
1.)They can be victims of prejudice, but not of racism.
2.) Its actually pretty offensive that white people would equate the two. But its understandable. Whites risk giving up a lot of wealth and power by facing the truth.
1.) factually wrong LMAO facts and definitions disagree with your ignorance and its part of the problem and not part of the solution. Nobody honest, educated and objective will take your false claim seriously.
2.) good thing thats not the discussion nor does it have anything to do with the facts i stated that you are absurdly and hypocritically denying

Fact remains that whits can be and are at times victims of racism. Just like my question you dodged.
