Washington Post opinions editor says white women are 'lucky' that black people are 'just calling them Karens and not calling for 'revenge'

The Washington Post's opinions editor has been accused of inciting violence for tweeting that white women are 'lucky' black people are 'just calling them Karen's and not calling for revenge'.

Karen Attiah posted the tweet on Sunday, saying: 'The lies and tears of white women hath wrought; the 1921 Tulsa massacre, murder of Emmett Till, exclusion of black women from feminist movements, 53% of white women voting for Trump.

'White women are lucky that we are just calling them Karens. And not calling for revenge.'

Later, in her comments section, she doubled down on the remark, saying: 'I'm just saying. Be happy we are calling for equality. And not actual revenge.'

The tweets sparked outrage from other users who called for her to be fired.

'Oh so insulting generalizations based on race and gender are okay now? Or are they only okay for you? Just trying to understand the rules,' conservative writer Matt Walsh replied to Attia.

'You threaten white women with violence. WashPo what is your response? The world is watching and waiting,' another tweeted.

Soon after, the hashtag #fireKarenAttiah began circulating on Twitter.

In recent weeks, a number of prominent people have been fired - or 'cancelled' - for their controversial social media posts but, as of Tuesday morning, The Washington Post has not publicly commented on Attiah's incendiary tweet.

DailyMail.com has contacted the newspaper's managing editors for a statement.

The time will come for members of the enemedia.
I do not forecast that it will be a good time.
All that they ask for us will be given to them.

Excuse for the moment her threats against white women, because that is now a staple of the democratic party.

We have reached the point where if a white woman is attacked by a black man, she is better off just accepting it, because calling 911 will get her punished much worse than whatever is about to happen to her.

But forgetting that part, she was also incredibly racist:

She just said that it is expected that black men would rape white women if they wanted revenge. That is a bigoted racist stereotype.

The Washington Post has the lies.

This guy has the truth:

This is truly American! The gentleman in this clip is an amazing individual! Please help me retweet and get it out to the masses!

Also, the first two cases are her explicitly saying that women lie about sexual assault. Well, white women do.

Of course, we also know liberals believe black women do, as in the case of Lt. Governor Justin Fairfax, accused by two liberal black women of rape, whose defense is he had sex with them, but they wanted it.

Sounds like that girl doesn’t know the difference between a Karen and a Becky. She probably needs some diversity training.

That’s inciting violence. This thing should be in prison, but as is obvious, it has two get out of jail cards.

She wouldn’t have mentioned “revenge” if she hadn’t already been thinking about it.

“Sounds like that girl doesn’t know the difference between a Karen and a Becky.”

I hate to tell ‘m but some black women I’ve seen are Karens’ too...they just call ‘em Laquasha.

This is a case of “Never get in your enemy’s way when she’s making a mistake.”

In fairness, leftist white women really are a serious social problem and their routine excesses are unsustainable.

Here’s something Ms. Attiah doesn’t quite understand. Yes, some white women will be shaken by her remark. But others, not so much.
