New York Times hypocrites knowingly hire racist writer who wants to '#CancelWhitePeople'
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
Clearly there’s no vetting process at the New York Times, or else management at the newspaper is just foolish enough to think that no one will look at new employees’ social media histories.
The Times just announced Wednesday that it has hired former Verge tech writer Sarah Jeong for its editorial board. Problem is, the 30-year-old has a very controversial Twitter account with some very nasty and hateful tweets directed at white people. Several Twitter users captured screenshots of the offensively racist rhetoric from Jeong, before she aptly deleted the tweets (hat tip to Twitchy ):

As you can see, this wasn’t just a one-off mistake. There are around a dozen tweets and retweets from the millennial where she admits how much she hates white people, writing things like: “Dumbass f------ white people marking up the internet with their opinions like dogs pissing on fire hydrants” and “Oh man, it’s kind of sick how much joy I get out of being cruel to old white men.”
What a gem! With insightful tweets like that it’s no wonder The Times found her a must-have employee.
The Times responded Thursday afternoon to the criticism of Jeong by actually defending its decision, laughably claiming that Jeong was only trying to reflect the kind of rhetoric she faced online. Essentially The New York Times justified her racist tweets (see below):

Her job should go extinct and her with it.
Although I don't wish for her earthly demise, I agree that the NYT should immediately fire her.
Not really. Just think of all the crappy left wing stuff the NYT puts out every day. They aren't the credible source some people seem to think they are. They're a Left Wing rag and always have been. Jeong fits right in at the NYT.
When I said she should go extinct, I wasn't wishing for her early demise. I meant her type, racist dinosaurs.
So now conservatives are concerned about "racist" tweets? That's rather amusing given that they think the King of the Birthers is qualified to run the country, a racist moron not exactly known for being reticent on twitter. So it sounds a lot more like projection on the part of conservatives.
By the way she appears to be correct in her assessment of old white men, the very folks who comprise the bulk of Trump's racist base.
That comment is also racist.
How is Shrekk's comment racist?
Sorry but it's a fact that the majority of old white men voted for the racist King of the Birthers so there must be something quite amiss with old white men. Normal Americans today wouldn't vote for a racist moron like Trump.
I seriously doubt a non-racist would vote for the racist King of the Birthers, much less for someone like Trump who exhibits so many different kinds of bigotry. It's like a David Duke voter claiming not to be racist.

According to hard core Liberals who like to call everyone racist who doesn't agree with them, yes your father is a racist man in their racist eyes. When they look in the mirror, they see someone else, not the racist standing in front of it.
That's not racist at all..... *eyeroll*
There are some people who use minorities. They are the minorities real enemies. They know minorities can take care of themselves, but in order to maintain power over them, they have to constantly work to convince them they are victims. The lady above and many others all finally coming to realization of who their real enemies have always been.
Some of the same people who voted for Obama voted for Trump. Some of these people are too stupid to put two and two together and come out with four. When they realize someone voted for Trump, they have to be a racist in their opinion. Actually, they know they are wrong about it but as Victor David Hanson said they came up with a word they could use to end all conversation and it was the word racist. If you disagree with them, you are a racist. That has become the weapon of many of those who know they are deceitful, but have nothing else to offer and fear they will lose their power over other's lives and votes.
Whataboutism at its finest trying to make this story about something it is not. It's too bad some people can't actually hear how they sound.
Why do you hate 'leftist'?
So 4 out of 5 racists agree that all old white men are also racist then? LMFAO! No surprise the irony and hypocrisy of your post escapes you.

Unfortunately, yes. When blacks dare to eschew the left-wing "plantation mentality" and think for themselves, the radical left considers that person to be a racist. Think about how often they demean and ridicule Colin Powell, Condi Rice, Col. Alan West, Herman Cain, Alveda King, Candace Owens, and many other educated, talented black Conservatives.
You've been around here for a long time and never mention this, so I hereby declare half-bullshit.
Why would you blame your dad? Didn't you say you had a white mom?
This time they will be able to hide Sarah Jeong's racism since she will be contributing to the Times editorial page - an anonymous joint effort
Just when you think the New York Times can’t be any more of a joke, they go,and hire a straight out racist. No need for imaginary dog whistles, she revels in her racism.
The NYT doesn't even try to hide its racist and anti-Trump/anti-Right agendas anymore. It lost its journalistic integrity many years ago.
It started back during the Holocaust when they wouldn't even report on it.
Interesting. Thanks to Ambassador Henry Morgenthau's persistence, the NYT was forced to report on the Armenian Genocide, which was the first 20th century genocide. The USA and the rest of the free world did nothing to save millions of people who were enslaved, tortured, raped, abused, and murdered by the Turks.
The leftist media are claiming she can't be racist since she's not white. Every hyperbole about liberals is eventually shown to be true.
Talk about in your face hypocrisy, the NYT wins the award daily.
I don't know why elite liberals are so quick to deny minorities humanity and agency.
Of course they can be racist, they are no different than white people.
Try as they might to deny it, the radical left relies on identity politics in order to control minorities. Here's another example:
Her story is that she gets harassed and insulted online and this was some kind of response to that. Therefore, it's justified and she's not really racist.
But try that if you're white: "Women and people of color insult me online so I get to throw around the N-word and tell women to get back in the kitchen." Think that'd sell?
The left understands it's wrong to blame all Muslims for terrorist acts carried out by a few. But blaming all white people for the acts of the few is apparently acceptable.
She's a "victim" after repeatedly degrading and death-wishing an entire race, but the NYT defends her.
Interesting that not a single social justice warrior is upset by the nation's "newspaper of record" hiring a racist for their editorial board
This phony high dudgeon is as funny as it is predictable coming from the side that enthusiastically pushes every lie and smear from the rightwing pukefunnel here and every other discussion board it can. When FarzNooz, Breitbart, InfoWars and all kindred members of said pukefunnel stop lying, smearing and giving aid and comfort to the worst elements of hate in this country, we'll talk.
Whataboutism...
So Alex Jones and the New York Times are equivalent new sources.
if you say so.
The New York Times can hire whomever they want but in my mind the woman has indeed acted in a racist manner. There is no excuse that they can peddle that would hold up if a white person had tweeted what she did.
But can you deny that the majority of old white guys voted for the racist King of the Birthers? Obviously they're a large part of the problem.
I think I've been very clear about who I think one faction of the Trump base is. I hope i don't have to give a disclaimer every time.
I just saw a video about this that was a segment from a CNN panel show.
I have never heard of this woman before today, and can't say I care about her one way or the other.
I think that it is fairly clear that she thought her tweets were a satirical response to what she perceived as racist trolling of her twitter account. In other words , she thought she was fighting fire with fire. I think there are two problems - she went overboard , and her tweets are left open to be taken out of her intended context.
CNN showed some of them , and they are pretty bad. She's lucky she still has a job at the New York Times.
Now that's funny. You haven't heard of this woman before. Well, just think of all the other things you haven't heard of if the first place you saw it was CNN.
Now that is even funnier!!!
I know what the problem is. Coming straight from LeBron James mouth........LOL!!!
Should make a good platform for the Dems
So, you are willing to make a judgement call on her intent, although you never heard f her before today and you don't care about her one way or the other.
Yeah, gotcha.
Candace Owen just retweeted these tweets swapping white for black and jewish.
Twitter shut her account down for hate speech....
Did you ever notice that after a suspension, the apologies are almost always to Conservatives? Twitter and Facebook, like the NYT, no longer hide their hatred and bias toward Conservatives.
she is a real peach
Jeong wants to 'cancel' white people?
No need for her to bother. The Ku Kluxers and Nazis are doing that heavy lifting.
