The pinned tweet on her page is making me think of something larger (don't know how to embed tweets on UM)
"Do you mean due to the rockets' red glare and bombs bursting in the air? Because this is exactly how America was created."
Her response to "If a black person was kidnapped and tortured, every major city would be in flames right now.
#BLMKidnapping" (recent Chicago kidnapping/anti-white/anti-Trump thing)
It's this weird deflection that seems prevalent in race discussions. The original point is that if the scenario was race-reversed (white attackers, black victim), there would be large social media outrage. But this person instead chooses to ignore present day society and go back to all of American history or at the very least one range of years and change the topic.
But isn't she just missing what the original comment was all about? People would
care more if it was a black victim, according to her (first statement) -- the history seems irrelevant while ignoring all the progress 'black' twitter has made on the liberal political eye.
Is this self preservation? In that her success (100K+ followers) is dependent on never achieving the goal or is her reply more important? Racial and women topics seem to go into 'history' all the time, like human history is as constant as say laws of physics.
(here is a similar discussion when the Joe Mixon story has resurfaced because of Brent Musberger's comments & the view of Mixon did not get punished harshly enough for his domestic violence)
