kaboro: So if someone writes or says something that irritates a white supremacist group and get in trouble, according to your logic thats ok, and "the consequences should surprise nobody"?
Actually i cant think of any example of people getting fired from their jobs or getting media flak for speaking against white supremacists, but as the cases of James Diamore and Roseane Barr show, you can and will get fired for the slightest transgression against the dominant doctrine.
Here is yet another example of a scientist getting attacked for presenting scientific data that goes against the prevailing doctrine.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOCIke7zLMo&t=832s I'd say a better example is Sarah Jeung, who posted clearly racist and offensive Tweets, yet her employer stood up for her. And Linko? Did absolutely nothing wrong in comparison and got thrown under the bus.
"Dumbass f***ing white people marking up the internet with their opinions like dogs pissing on fire hydrants" [I censored this - it was not originally]
"Are white people genetically predisposed to burn faster in the sun, thus logically being only fit to live underground like groveling goblins"
"#CancelWhitePeople"
and dozens more...
These were brought to the New York Times attention, and they backed her up, no warning, nothing. Yet Linko, with two Tweets that are not even offensive gets the axe.
The problem is that outright, the very definition of "hate speech" is being condoned and not just against white supremacists, but if one of just white or male. Or in the case of people like Louis Farrakhan, if one is Jewish. Yet a small pissant group of people manufacture a controversy, and it's somehow contrived to be some sort of "hate crime" and leads to an immediate firing.
There is clearly a double standard. And in the case of Sarah Jeung, you can't even pretend she isn't a face of the New York Times being an opinion writer and part of the staff. And you cannot argue without being totally insane that her quotes weren't the clear definition of "hate speech" on top of the fact she made these sort of posts with frequent regularity.
