Nikole Hannah-Jones is an orange-haired TRAITOR and soul-murderer!!!!

Instead of a Pulizer Prize and academic tenure, she deserves to go before a firing squad, and to be buried in an unmarked grave!!!!

I hope all of their credible tenured staff, if there are any, quit.

I am totally sick and tired of this crap. Think I’ll go watch a movie to get my mind off this “everything is racist” shit.

BTW, did you know that global warning, perhaps better known as global cooling, is racist? Yep:
