Memo outlines steps to combat 'culture of white supremacy'
The turmoil at the New York Times has taken a dramatic turn, according to the text of a staff memo circulated among the newspaper's editorial staff. The combative document is reposted in full below:
From: The People's Liberation Faction of the New York Times Editorial Guild
To: Cis White Editors and Bari Weiss
Since the illegitimate election of "President" XXXXXX X. XXXXX, We the People have lived in constant fear. Every day, the newspaper, and particularly its opinion section, has promoted the words of white supremacists intent on harming our Black, Brown, Latinx, Asianx, LGBTQIA+, anarchist, neurodiverse, and differently abled staff members.
These words are tantamount to violence, a war of extinction waged ruthlessly against our bodies, our psyche, and our humanist souls. For minority reporters and their white allies, associates, advocates, accomplices, alibis, abetters, and attorneys, the New York Times is no longer safe. Our lives have literally ceased to matter.
In our view, the organization's leaders have forfeited their sovereign privilege to persist without accountability for their actions. WE are inspired by the freedom fighters marching in New York, Minneapolis, Los Angeles, and Washington, D.C., and by the courageous actions of riot police on the streets of Hong Kong. WE demand a voice. WE will be heard.
The time for dialogue has passed. Now is the time for action.
Firing James Bennet will not appease us. His silence will not buy ours. WE demand a seat at the table—at its head.
Additional demands are as follows:
All white cisgender editors must resign, effective Nov. 8, 2016, and forfeit all compensation "earned" since that date. Bari Weiss and Bret Stephens must participate in an educational adjustment course on white fragility and will be expected to issue an apology to all New York Times writers whom they have injured with their tweets and columns. All coverage of the police must be approved by Nikole Hannah-Jones before being published. XXXXXX X. XXXXX cannot be mentioned in official tweets, social media posts, or on the front page of the website. No more platforms for white supremacists, starting with Tom Friedman. Every month the Sunday Review section must republish the 1619 Project. Abolish the police. Our non-negotiable deadline for swift action regarding these demands is midnight (EST) on Friday, June 12, 2020. For every hour these demands go unmet, WE will ritualistically cancel one member of the Sulzberger family.
The left eats their own....
Grab the popcorn!
“WE are inspired by the freedom fighters marching in New York, Minneapolis, Los Angeles, and Washington, D.C.”
I had to check to make sure it wasn’t from tbe Bee....lmfao
Oh boy.
This is pretty funny
” For every hour these demands go unmet, WE will ritualistically cancel one member of the Sulzberger family.”
Are they threatening actual torture-murder, or some kind of weird neo-pagan ritual?
ASSISTED SUICIDE
1-800 I-GIVE-UP
give us a call
Marked as “parody” on the website.
I think we should look into whether the Slimes gets any government funding. Then file a class action regarding censorship.
Why no mention of AGE? 'Cause they are BIGOTS.
Abolish the media

Is this satire?
Satire...
“We will ritualistically cancel a member of the Sulzberger family...”
Funny but fake.
Satire....lol
Damn...
Fake?—I guess I will have to eat fake popcorn. ;-)
Is this for-real? Seriously, it reads like satire.
