The Media’s Full-Throated Defense Of NYT’s Hiring An Anti-White Bigot
The Revolutionary Act ^ | 08/03/18

Posted on 08/03/2018 7:36:18 AM PDT by Liberty7732

As the story surrounding Sarah Jeong’s anti-white shamefulness unfolds it only gets worse, and it goes directly to the bifurcation of our country that comes from the stew of leftist hierarchy identity politics, anti-Americanism and a now openly dishonest and partisan media.

The progressive defense of the Times’ hiring a bigot, particularly by the media, is an awesome display of the power and terror unleashed through the hierarchy of identity politics, because a different writer hired by the Times in February found to be using gay slurs was fired within hours. But not only is Jeong not being fired, the wagons have tightly circled across the media landscape.

Yes, because in the poisonous identity hierarchy, lesbians are far more aggrieved and therefore have greater rights and power than whites, which are at the bottom of the hierarchy — seriously, this has been taught on college campuses around the country for years — there is a built-in, intended and defended double-standard. Want to know the reason for the rise of the Alt Right and white nationalism? Read on.

As is now well-known, the New York Times this week announced the hiring of Sarah Jeong to sit on their editorial board and write editorials. This board forms the newspaper’s daily opinions. About 30 seconds after the announcement, Twitter exploded with some of Jeong’s breathtakingly hateful and bigoted tweets against whites and white males. She is Korean-born and the Times must have known of these.

We have to have a quick and ugly sampling, from roughly 2014-2015, so hardly ancient writings:

“Dumba** f***ing white people marking up the internet with their opinions like dogs pissing on fire hydrants”

“Are white people genetically predisposed to burn faster in the sun, thus logically being only fit to live underground like groveling goblins”

“oh man it’s kind of sick how much joy I get out of being cruel to old white men”

“White people have stopped breeding. You’ll all go extinct soon. This was my plan all along.”

“White people marking up the internet with their opinions like dogs pissing on fire hydrants”

“#CancelWhitePeople”

There’s more from the Times’ new bigot. For normal Americans, these tweets are a gasp, and surely spelled her doom. When the Times announced the hiring of Quinn Norton in February, it was discovered that she had used the gay slur “fag” and “faggot” repeatedly. She herself is a lesbian and gay rights activist, and was using the term toward other gays on Twitter in the same way that blacks use the N word with other blacks. It’s all quite despicable. The Times high moral code forced it to fire Norton within hours of announcing the hiring.

But a funny thing happened with Jeong’s anti-white bigotry tweets. The Times’ high moral code is not kicking in to fire her, and much of the media, all of the left-wing media, is defending the Times’ keeping Jeong onboard. In fact, publication after publication is attacking the “organized conservative Twitter trolls” and urging the Times to stand firm.

The Washington Post blames conservative media — not Jeong:

“Without evidence that they had any bearing on Jeong’s extensive body of work, which includes a book she wrote about online harassment, these statements could have perhaps been unceremoniously dismissed as insignificant. But after conservative media seized on the story Thursday, they ignited a firestorm of debate…Jeong’s episode has also raised complicated questions about the stubborn nature of harassment that women of color face online.”

I’m waiting for the Post to write about what Michelle Malkin endures daily. She’s Filipino. Or maybe Candace Owens. She’s black. But they’re conservative, so again…meh.

The Huffington Post called on the Times to just ignore the critics:

“The proper way to respond to a bad-faith troll campaign like the one the right-wing internet is waging on Sarah Jeong, the newest member of The New York Times editorial board, is to not respond at all, to not even listen in the first place…But ignore the trolls you must. This includes the gleeful, snickering chuds who strip old tweets of their context and send them back out into the world. And this also includes the establishment figures like Ari Fleischer and publications like the National Review, the folks wailing about an Asian woman’s “anti-white racism,” as if there were such a thing.”

There’s more of the identity politics. Racism isn’t racism. Only whites can be racist. Minorities by this new definition, cannot be. Because whites are at the bottom of the aggrievement scale. This is how the new bigot thinks.

The huge tech site The Verge, encouraged newsrooms everywhere to stand against the hate — not Jeong’s, mind you, but the hate of those who are calling out her tweets and the Times’ hiring of her.

“…as the editors of The Verge, we want to be clear: this abusive backlash is dishonest and outrageous…journalists have been increasingly targeted by people acting in bad faith who do not care about the work they do, the challenges they face, or the actual context of their statements…it’s time other newsrooms learn to spot these hateful campaigns for what they are: attempts to discredit and undo the vital work of journalists who report on the most toxic communities on the internet.”

Jezebel magazine was ticked the Times responded at all, thinking they should have ignored the outcry as other media outlets encouraged:

“The trolls have largely concerned themselves with Jeong’s fairly innocuous tweets about white people.”

Their meaning of “innocuous” is different from mine.

The Cut considered her tweets harmless:

“Many of Jeong’s tweets that the right dug up dated back five years, and were harmless jokes about conservative white people.”

But “fag” used by a gay person toward other gay people was so harmful as to be a firing offense? Yes. Identity politics. She was the wrong kind of bigot — if one at all. Jeong is the right kind of bigot.

The list of defenders goes on and on. Jeong will not only keep her job and take her place in the pantheon of modern progressive regressives on the Times’ editorial board, she will become a hero on the Left. Worse, though, is that more people will be emboldened to think and talk hatefully like her — as long as their bigotry is correctly targeted. That is the lesson between Norton and Jeong.

And I’m sorry to say that “correctly targeted” means at white people.

Hence the rise of the alt right and white nationalism — two small but dangerous movements — is actually just more identity politics driven by the left. Bigotry begets bigotry. A few short decades ago, we were trending away from the day of the bigot.

Again, all of this ends really, really badly if there is not a sea change in the culture.

This makes it very clear who the enemy is. The entire media establishment hates the NORMAL people, and wants to eliminate us, and take our money.

It’s war, for our survival. The enemy is winning.

I would sincerely like to know exactly why members of the Media are NOT required to undergo the same kinds of scrutiny and background checks to exercise their First Amendment Rights that those of US who exercise our Second Amendment Rights are subjected to?

I like this one- “marking up the internet”. Her dog-eating azz would never have heard of an internet if not for white males, and I don’t mean Al Gore.

We’ve let them go too far. Time to seriously push back, white folks. They don’t understand complacency, or “taking the high road”. They understand one thing only: feelings. We have to make them feel bad about what they are doing. Not by becoming wailing victims, but by unapologetically standing up against the identity politics of the left.

Not long ago writing “dumb*** f***ing” ANYTHING would have prevented her being hired.

When the left wing media talks about “conservative” media, they’re admitting their left wing bias.

I’ve noticed a coordinated effort by all the fake news media to ramp up their vitriol and hatred. Instead of backing down from the obvious violence inducing hyper hate language, they are doubling down. Thus, hiring more aggressive hate filled Left wing activists is consistent with this doubling down.

The left wing rinos apparently don’t understand that getting rid of white people includes them.

I think the money is the long game.

Young people with $200K student loans want to take away older people's $2M retirement IRA's to make their own problems go away. They blame older people with long-standing jobs for their current predicament, so they label and dehumanize them to make it easier to vent their frustrations.

I think the New York Times may eventually back down, especially in today's political climate.

Cultural determinism, identity politics, social justice, the racial hierarchy, intersectionality, and black liberation theology are modern expressions of original Marxist Communism translated by the Frankfurt School into Cultural Marxism and by a KGB agent into liberation theology.

These liberals are self loathing lowlifes. This bigoted witch reminds them of the cruel, demeaning, abusive mothers that spawned and raised them. They not only want her but need her.

This woman, a UC-Berkeley grad, of course, only granted citizenship last year:

A protest against the travel ban in San Francisco in January. Tayfun Coskun/Anadolu Agency via Getty:

“America is not doing so hot right now,” declares law and technology journalist Sarah Jeong. But after the election of Donald Trump, she decided to become a US citizen anyway.

Jeong, who was born in South Korea, has spent the Trump administration doing two things. She’s been completing the naturalization process (she was formally sworn in as a citizen on June 28 [2017]), in part to move past the fears she’s always felt as an immigrant going through “the system” — particularly when traveling outside the US. And she’s been covering the ongoing litigation over the Trump administration’s travel ban — which is, in part, a legal fight over how immigrants were treated when they returned to the US after traveling abroad.

It's a war for survival, I totally agree. But I think they're losing. After being exposed as vicious, Left-wing partisans--something they desperately resisted, hiding behind the Kabuki mask of "objective journalism"--they're now forced to fight in the daylight. That's a catastrophic disadvantage, since, according to media ratings and political polling, their sick, angry project is vastly unpopular.

They think they have a pass by extolling self-hatred and agreeing with them. Perhaps the crocodile will eat them last.

I don't even really care about what she said in of itself, but what's infuriating to me is the double standard. You replace the word 'white' with just about any other group - blacks, Latinos, gays, etc. - and The New York Times would have had her out on her ass in two seconds flat.
