Sally Kohn is a hard left pundit on MSNBC. She took to Twitter yesterday to give a shout-out to a D.C. MTA cop for saving her when she forgot her wallet and couldn’t pay for the subway. But she also couldn’t help but impute political and racial motives for the gesture:
Forgot my wallet. MTA officer let me on subway for free. #classprivilege #whiteprivilege
It was the hashtags on her post that got her taken to the Twitter woodshed. She assumed she’d received the favor because of her race and class.
Followers let her have it: -snip- Recently, Kohn gave a TED Talk in which she explained about imputing good motives to people: “(W)hat I’ve realized is political persuasion doesn’t begin with ideas or facts or data,” she said. “Political persuasion begins with being ‘emotionally correct.'”

Exactly! What privilege? When I take a gander her way, I detect an "odor of sweatsocks and candida"
Fox is a pack of ultraconservative rabid foaming at the mouth right-wing attack dogs!/s;)I wish that was true. If it was I could maybe stand to watch it once in awhile. As it is, Greg Gutfeld and his former show Red Eye are about the only things I can take on FAUX NEWS.
#KohnsDisease, ouch! The comments are hilarious!
How did she know the cop didn’t have a bull dyke sister of whom he’s fond? Or perhaps he took pity on her because he too was regarded as a dorkwad when he was younger?
sally needs “diversity” training
There are a number of class markers, most associated with clothing.
They used to be hard and fast in many societies, with quite a few coming up with (usually ineffective) sumptuary laws prescribing what you could wear based on your station in life. In America they still exist, but are mostly effective at separating out the lower rather than the higher classes from the herd.
See, white males catch all the breaks.
Weight is a better marker than clothes these days. Clothes can be , but only when people are TRYING to dress well. You can't usually tell social class on a dressed down person.
Arrogance is a normal thing for these cretans
Will the Lesbian Liberation Front now hunt down this vile considerate officer and assure that they are suspended or fired?
But she still took the favor and rode for free? Then complained about it later?? Coward should have refused and said something right there. If this actually happened.
Sally Kohn is more of a man than Obama will ever be.
“Political persuasion begins with being ‘emotionally correct.’”............
No, in her case that should read “emotionally disturbed”
Definitely a lesbian and ugly to boot.
Very true. Although you can usually tell that the guy with his pants around his knees is probably not upper-class.
Though if he’s a successful rapper or drug dealer, he might have quite a bit of money.
Which is one reason why I don’t care if anyone considers me to be a “rayciss”. I’m white, I’m damned if I do and damned if I don’t, so I might as well live and speak what I consider to be the truth. Based on crime statistics, I try to avoid blacks. Based on accusations of “rayciss” if I displease a black person, I try to avoid blacks.
She shows no manners at all. She should have thanked the officer by saying, “That’s mighty white of you.” /s
