FULL TITLE: BuzzFeed News editor takes heat for suggesting Trump would be more outraged if Sri Lanka victims were white

A BuzzFeed News world editor faced backlash Sunday for taking a swipe at President Trump while tweeting an article about the attacks in Sri Lanka on Easter.

"Suspect we’d be hearing a lot more outrage from Trump and co. if the Christians killed in Sri Lanka were white," Miriam Elder tweeted with a link to BuzzFeed News.

Elder’s tweet, as The Washington Examiner reported, received many more comments than likes or retweets. It had received nearly 3,000 replies, 70 retweets and 170 likes as of Sunday evening.

Many of the commenters asked why the BuzzFeed News world editor would politicize the terrorist attacks.

Racists are people who are obsessed with race and make everything about race.

That would be you, Miriam.

I’d say I suspect that Miriam is a room temperature IQ idiot but she just verified it. So it’s no longer a suspicion.

The MSM would be more outraged if the victims were Moslems.

The media is pure trash. It’s time we the people take them on in a serious way. It’s sickening what they do day in and day out

Close, but not quite. He’d have been correct if he said we’d be seeing a lot more outrage (and fixation on the attacks) from the “press” if the victims were Muslims. The leftist “press” has already made it clear they do not value Christian lives nearly as much as Muslim ones in their coverage.

There's a way of slowing down crap like this; Back President Trump's effort to make certain the census form contains the citizenship question in it and no reference to race. But to the country of where the respondent is a citizen of if not an American citizen. TIME TO END HYPHENATING AMERICANS One thing the Mexican Constitution has that we should consider doing.Mexico has no hyphenated Mexicans. They prohibit any reference to race when they conduct a census or issue any means of identification, Where a photo id is not available physical description is needed skin color yes but not by race but by nationality.. By doing this Mexico has avoided �balkanizing�, creating fractional disputes in areas where a given group in one of its states is a majority or a minority. Plus it could play a significant part in shutting down the political playing off racial divisions between Americans by the Democrats.

Is this even true about the Donald? Christians mourn their fellow martyrs everywhere, and a signal feature of Christianity as the bible describes it is to absolutely not care about race at all. As the old song goes: red and yellow, black and white, they are precious in His sight.

According to a news report I just read, there were several “Americans” killed.

One of the main goals of the leftist media is to stir up racial hatred, division, and resentment. I don’t know what we can do to stop their propaganda, though, beyond encouraging more young conservatives to start their own news services to try to break the left’s near monopoly. I wish we could hit them with campaign finance violations for their unreported advertisements on behalf of the DNC under the guise of “news.”

The display was sponsored by the Iowa Hereford Association. Herefords have White faces. Ugh!

“Back President Trump’s effort to make certain the census form contains the citizenship question in it and no reference to race.”

The Census Citizenship question is crucial, I believe our survival as a Republic depends on it. Without that question it really doesn’t matter if illegal aliens vote, they will still give sanctuary states like California disproportionately high Congressional representation and Electoral College votes. In effect illegal aliens in these big states will cancel out several MIdwestern states’ votes.

Notice that her response fails to mention that the attackers that killed 200 innocent people were ISLAMIC TERRORISTS.

More deflection & distraction from Big Media, Islamic Terrorism’s useful-idiot buddy.
