Sarah Jeong Is A Warning Sign Of Something Wrong With The Left
Hot Air ^ | 08/03/18

The more I think about it, the less I care about Sarah Jeong. I don’t think I’d ever read anything she’d written before this week and having now read a few things I don’t think I was missing all that much. That’s not meant as a slam on her ability because I think she’s actually a good writer. But the subject she writes about isn’t that interesting to me. She styles herself an expert on technology, which doesn’t mean she can rebuild a V-8 engine or repair a circuit board. In media parlance, it means she has opinions about social media. So…whatever.

I don’t even care very much about her racist tweets, per se, or even her lame excuse for making them. What does bother me is the way in which the left collectively responded to her tweets with a big shrug. Ed wrote earlier about the Washington Post piece which wonders aloud whether Jeong did anything wrong. I read the same piece this morning and this is the paragraph that stood out:

Redundant headline. There was never anything right (correct) with the left at any time.

People are really losing their grasp on the word “Technology”

We see ads using the word to describe things that are nothing. “Our tangle-free technology” usually means “We put a plastic piece here that stops tangling”.

I have a client who uses the system that I made him. He calls it “his technology”. That word isn’t what he thinks it is.

She represents the first break in the long-built leftwing double standard.

She is obviously being a racist.

Yet the left is apologetic. They are completely wrong. But they are right, that she should be left alone.

What needs to change, is EVERYONE is entitled to the very same opinions, about everyone else.

Not just one group.

Return to free speech once again.

Now.

I love her and Ocasio-Cortez both.

They are HELPING us.

Oh, and Hillary.

Let them ALL live very long lives, and assist in destroying The Left.

We left people like that alone in the 1920s and 1930s, and we got a world war for our troubles.

She’s also a misandrist but that’s ok. At least she is not a misogynist.

The alternative view — that of today’s political left — is that Jeong definitionally cannot be racist, because she’s both a woman and a racial minority. Racism against whites, in this neo-Marxist view, just “isn’t a thing” — just as misandry literally cannot exist at all. And this is because, in this paradigm, racism has nothing to do with a person’s willingness to pre-judge people by the color of their skin, or to make broad, ugly generalizations about whole groups of people, based on hoary stereotypes. Rather, racism is entirely institutional and systemic, a function of power, and therefore it can only be expressed by the powerful — i.e., primarily white, straight men.

Here is true "privilege", in the accurate original sense of "being exempt from the rules that common people must obey". By virtue of being a non-white female, she is allowed to express hatred of white people. White people are thus deemed "non people", excluded from the protections that others enjoy.

It’s a warning sign allright, time to board up the windows and plan an emergency meeting place for you and your (white) family members.

“Sarah Jeong Is A Warning Sign Of Something Wrong With The Left”


No, a warning sign is that you feel slightly feverish after some time spent with someone who has the flu. Sarah Jeong is past that point, roughly equivalent to when the Great White chomps off your right leg, and is coming back for the left one.

Agreed, 100%.

Nonetheless, they are all certifiable, and worthy targets of our derision.

Go Sarah!

I hope she is on the front page everyday and anytime a Times reporter shows their face they need to be asked about Sarah.

Anytime a conservative quotes from her articles and include her racist tweets in describing her.

Make the Times defend her everyday.

Thing is she is the norm among libtards. Vast majority of them think like her and act like her.

She's actually a terrible writer and how she managed to graduate from high school, let alone college and Law school, is beyond me.

Time was, when I was a kid, that the N.Y. Times was written for at least a senior in high school level ( which in today's education system means post PHD degree level); especially the Sunday editions.

I would take issue with it. It isn't a warning sign.

The Leftists have always been this way, this is nothing new.

They are simply having a harder time concealing it now.

Well, I hope you’re right, but some reports say that Cortez already is getting substantial bucks from the West Coast communists.

They theoretically have no skin in the game of a NY election. But they obviously are playing the long game.

Again, I hope you’re right. But these cultural marxists need to be snuffed out, and soon, or it will be too late to fix things in a civilized manner.
