The black leadership coalition Project 21 is speaking out against Sarah Jeong, the New York Times hire for its editorial board, calling her history of anti-white person slurs on social media racist and vulgar and the decision reveals inconsistency and irresponsibility in the media outlets handling of race issues.
Ms. Jeong is the recipient of leftist privilege, which means that whatever she says can and will be forgiven no matter how vile or racist her actions may have been, Project 21 Co-Chair Stacy Washington said.
In response to the backlash over her addition to the New York Times editorial staff, the paper shared that they had discussions with her about the appropriateness of her tweets, Washington said. This is within their purview, but the double-standard is glaring.
Roseanne Barr was blacklisted for one tweet, Washington said. Even after she showed remorse and apologized profusely, there is no path of redemption for her.
In the freest nation on the planet, we are witnessing jackbooted political thuggery, Washington said.
Sarah Jeongs comments are antithetical in an age when we should be moving beyond racism to embrace our greater American identity, Project 21 member Rich Holt said in a statement distributed to the media. This racist liberal engages in a divisive anti-white narrative that is just as damaging as black codes and segregation were in the past.
As Americans, we need to erase the hyphens that divide us and embrace our unity under the red, white and blue, Holt said.
Despite firing technology reporter Quinn Norton earlier this year within hours of revelations of racial posts, the paper now says it stands by Jeong, the Project 21 press release said.

It shows how far left and how biased NYT has become.
Thank you, Project 21. They could have chosen to remain silent, but they spoke up.
She only repeated what her male pimps at NYT told her to say. Of course they are not going to fire someone who said exactly what they wanted her to say, using herself as a “asian feminist” for cover.

The problems with having an intellectually unsustainable ideology is you can’t participate when others want to debate your silliness.
Or even discuss it.
Progressives will never listen to minority conservatives. They don’t even regard minorities as human, especially minority conservatives.
Like television, the “news” media has to become more and more outrageous to even stand out among competitors. Like television, it won’t help; I see news of TV shows being canceled that I didn’t know had even aired...
“every reference to them should include the word racist in front of it.”
Now’s the perfect time for PDJT to revise the name from “FAILING New York Times” to “RACIST New York Times”. But she’s worse than just racist. Doesn’t she hate ALL men, too, or is it just white men?
