A woman in the U.K., Bahar Mustafa, has ignited a virtual firestorm after she tweeted out controversial hashtags, including #KillAllWhiteMen and #Misandry, and blatantly excluded white people and men from diversity events at Goldsmiths, University of London. Her outspokenness has prompted petitions, harassment, death threats, organized calls for her resignation, an abundance of crude and unusual comments on Reddit and now a formal investigation from authorities at Scotland Yard.
Mustafa, the welfare and diversity officer for the student union at Goldsmiths, faced immediate backlash after she specifically barred white men from an event intent on diversifying the university’s curriculum. Mustafa posted on Facebook, pleading for men and/or white people to “PLEASE DON’T COME,” adding that she hoped people would respect the “BME women and non-binary event only.”
Following criticism that the diversity event was exclusionary, Mustafa responded by saying that as an ethnic minority woman, she is incapable of being racist.

She’d be ugly if I was full of Jack Daniels...............
Good thing I do not Tweet...

Maybe if I Tweeted she’d come for a visit... Ya think???
If?
Puts the Twit in Twitter.
IOW, there ain’t enough whiskey to drink her pretty.............
Well played.
Of course you are, my dear. Defining it out of existence like that means you're incapable of recognizing it, that's all.
For her, and Reddit (a place overrun with such individuals), inclusiveness only goes as far as their narrative. If it runs counter to it, they consider it harassment - and proceed to harass, defame, silence (especially with the Chelsea van Valkenberg case), and/or destroy the source.
The easiest way to counter them is to present the truth.
Same here. Thank you for posting.
