Finally I see what prompted this thread, it was an alt right racist meme...

Here's the full context...

https://www.vox.com/2018/8/3/17644704/sarah-jeong-new-york-times-tweets-backl...

In tweets like the one embedded above, Jeong appeared to be commenting on the idea that white people often believe they are being discriminated against when they aren’t. To equate “being mean to white people” with the actual systemic oppression and marginalization of minority groups is a false equivalency.

But Jeong’s detractors removed this type of context, and began to circulate her old tweets in curated roundups that quickly went viral:

Meet the newest member of the New York Times editorial board.

The screencapped tweets painted a picture of Jeong sarcastically engaging in the same hyperbolic ranting rhetoric employed by alt-right internet groups like Gamergate. As members of those movements have done countless times before, Jeong’s detractors organized to deploy a system of performative outrage, using the screencaps as “evidence” that Jeong was racist and launching a torrent of violent, racist, and misogynistic speech at both Jeong and the New York Times to voice its displeasure. The screencapped tweets also circulated among fringe alt-right sites like the Daily Caller and Gateway Pundit.

The cries of racism against Jeong then drew supporters in the mainstream — including writer Andrew Sullivan, who published a widely derided opinion piece that characterized Jeong’s comments as promoting “eliminationist rhetoric” and portraying white people as “subhuman.”

On Thursday morning, Jeong issued a statement. As a female journalist on the internet as well as a woman of color, she is no stranger to harassment — as she herself noted before explaining that in the tweets being circulated as proof of her supposed “racism,” she had been engaging “in what I thought of at the time as counter-trolling.”

Typical of MnSpring to simply repeat the rantings of Jones et al.

When all you get is 'bullsh!t' from the barely literate JoG and 'it's spin' from the verging on sociopathic MnSpring, you just know you've hit the raw nerve.

Back to your conspiracy theorist, tinfoil hat wearing, neo nazi sites, the both of you.

Before mn says it, I'll tell you that there's no such thing as "tin foil".  It's aluminum.  But we get your point - well taken Eau!

EAU, did you know, their is no ‘official’ place that says that John F. Kennedy, was having sex with Marlin Monroe ?
None, Nada Does Not exist.
Their are LOTS  of places and statements where people, do believe, they were boinking.
But NO, ‘Official’, Government statements.

Now  A good buddy of yours, who several times has given your posts a thumbs up,
DOES  BELIEVE, they were Boinking.

A Suggestion, perhaps you should re think your statement about, ’Tin Foil Hats’.

“…Back to your conspiracy theorist, tinfoil hat wearing, …”

It's tinfoil if you put the shiny side out...
If you put the dull side out, it don't block the moonbeams it absorbs them.

Be warned... Huh
