Karen Attiah

A left-wing columnist revealed in a Substack on Monday that she was fired by the Washington Post over social media posts amid the assassination of Charlie Kirk and the Colorado school shooting.

"On Bluesky, in the aftermath of the horrific shootings in Utah and Colorado, I condemned America’s acceptance of political violence and criticized its ritualized responses — the hollow, cliched calls for ‘thoughts and prayers’ and ‘this is not who we are’ that normalize gun violence and absolve [W]hite perpetrators especially, while nothing is done to curb deaths," Karen Attiah wrote.

Kirk, a leading conservative activist, was assassinated at a campus event in Utah on Wednesday. That same day, a separate shooting at a Colorado school left two students injured and the assailant dead.

Attiah included multiple screenshots of her posts on Bluesky, including one that read, "Part of what keeps America so violent is the insistence that people perform care, empty goodness and absolution for [W]hite men who espouse hatred and violence."

Aren’t a disproportionate percentage of murderers are black? Aren’t white perps more often executed than black murderers?

...a white man that espoused violence...

That is a LIE. YOUR BS rhetoric created the climate that got Charlie killed, left his wife a widow, and left their child without a father. Satanic bitch.

t normalize gun violence

Meanwhile, in Chicongo ...

No, Karen: black lives DON'T matter. If they did, you'd show some concern for all the black people murdered by other black people in the democRAT "blue" city of Chicongo.

But you don't. Because you don't give a rip, Karen. All you care about is trashing "Whitey" and promoting communism.

Enjoy your consequences, Karen ...

absolution for [W]hite men who espouse hatred and violence.”

So, she’s a racist. I think that is why she got fired.

If whites are so racist
And black lives mattered,
then black people would stop killing each other so much
And stop relying on white people to police them to make them stop killing each other.

Another leftover from the BLM/ Occupy ‘We Was Kangs!!’ era.
Sorry, your Race Card has been declined due to being enormously overdrawn.
