Finally. What a scum bucket Carlos Danger has turned out to be.

“As a response to critics who say the bannings are an assault on freedom of speech, Jones closed out the segment saying, “Hate speech and freedom of speech? Two different things.’

I have a reason: you responded to me in a way that made no sense, and clearly implied that I said something I didn’t.

They have the right to say crappy things and I have the right to tell them they’re saying crappy things. Twitter can boot off people who are harassing and abusive.

Funny how some people want to protect speech when it’s racist.

Twitter is free to boot people off their site/app for violating terms, obviously, but to clarify, I think everybody should want to protect speech in a legal sense, even when it’s terribly racist, right?

BLM movement forget the American foreign policy and foreign influences

She has the I’m the special token syndrome. She probably was a special brown snowflake in all her all-white art school so she figured why not stick to that colonial schtick. She probably thought she was being radical when she went on that whole diatribe. My question was: WTF would a black woman from Houston know about

I’m pretty done with her over all of this. She comes off as super disconnected and self serving. If you were in dialogue with people around you and with people supporting BLM you’d come to get it, but clearly she’s dug her heels in and only wants to concern herself with things that specifically concern her own

Same. Super over the criticisms of BLM that go “well this other issue is also bad so why doesn’t BLM care about that?!” If there’s something else you think needs attention then get your own movement, bro.

It's so horrifying that we expect BLM, a movement started in part to voice the lack of social and political power, to shoulder the burden of all of the world's ills. I get her point and she has issues that concern her perhaps more than BLM does, but she mistakenly thinks there can only be one priority. Or one issue.

I discussed this issue earlier on the Muse but I feel they are relevant here as well.

Agreed. In the last Jez/Gawker article I read on this topic, everyone was pointing out that Scalia made political commentary all the time. A) Two wrongs don’t make a right (and I’m fine pointing out hypocrisy of right-wingers who never had an issue with Scalia’s public comments, but that doesn’t mean it’s cool for the

Personally, I’m glad that she did this. It was rather unprecedented for her to remark upon a presidential candidate, and regardless of how I feel about that shitstain Trump it just gave people even more ammunition. She has chosen to be the bigger person, and it’s yet another reason I adore her.

Obvious troll is obvious.

This says nutcase troll putting people on. She added it...

Fuck the race of the attackers, this shit is just sad all around. Even if the attackers were Black, and purposefully killing cop, it won’t change my stand with BLM movement.

That’s true. A man taking off his shirt is not the same as a woman taking off her shirt, at least in our society. But just because its not the same, doesn’t mean it doesn’t suck to always be asked to strip down.

While I appreciate her bluntness, and agree with her comments about the all-female Ghostbusters, I am a bit squicked out by the statement:

Speaking of white male angst, Gawker just filed for bankruptcy.
