Peoples' lives and careers have been turned upside down by tweets they made as teens quoting rap lyrics.

Sarah Jeong is an adult in a position of authority writing for major media publications. Her tweets were not written by a naive teen.

There's no evidence her offensive tweets were response to harassment. They appear to stand on their own. The ideas just seem to pop into her head at odd occasions.

I don't believe the NYT vetted Jeong. I believe they hired her without looking into her background likely because she's a woman and Asian and as a double protected class she didn't need to be vetted.

That the NYT said she was vetted appears to me to be a 'cover your ass' defensive lie by the NYT.

If they keep her, every time her name appears on a NYT article or editorial, quote her tweets.

Let her past follow her wherever she goes. The regressive left would do the same.

But Williamson and Norton did have two things in common:

They both lack melanin.

Never mind, she’s 30, born in 1988.

If these were posts she wrote when she was fifteen and since came out and said something like:

"I wrote things that were racist and hateful when I was young and immature, and have since realized the nature of them and utterly disown them and apologize for the ignorance and tone of them."

and the NYT said:

"We understand, and think she is someone who can show how people change..."

I could accept it, because everyone has had stupidity in their lives, especially as kids.

But she wrote these things as an adult, and she the NYT have not only said nothing to disown those sentiments, they are doubling down, throwing down the gauntlet.

We now have evidence of the racist, hypocritical attitudes of the NYT that many of us have known they possess all along.

The times hired her BECAUSE she hates Whites. The times has chosen the side of the White-haters. This should not be a surprise. The times has supported bammy.

We are in a civil war. The times is our enemy.

This just cements their base of ignorant Leftwing haters and further finishes off whatever readership from the Center and Right they have remaining.

Do NOT buy or give any financial assistance to the NYTs.

When they’re quoted in articles or television news as some accurate source, dispute it and remind others of theit solidarity with this hater.

A worthwhile graphic compiling a number of her tweets:

Just remove “white people” and replace with “Grey Lady” in all her quotes and I will be satisfied.

Once again readers must ponder the age-old question: Is the NYT evil or merely stupid?
