      Christie Blatchford's argue that Natives criticizing cultural appropriation are worse then dictators or ISIS. Bold: http://news.nationalpost.com/full-comment/christie-blatchford-in-defence-of-the-cbcs-steve-ladurantaye-from-a-fellow-sinner …

      You might think I'm exaggerating but, no, Blatchford says she rather have Charlie Hebdo style massacres (12 dead) than Native criticism.pic.twitter.com/zVMn7ADemC

      Worth noting that although ostensibly pro-free-speech, Blatchford's column is actual anti-free speech of Natives. She wants them to STFU.

      Blatchford's position: you shouldn't criticize journalists if that leads to actual change in journalistic practice. That's anti-free speech

      You might say "that's just Blatchford" but she's a star columnist of biggest newspaper chain in Canada. She's mainstream.

          But the charge of cultural appropriation is saying one cannot learn, understand, be empathetic or imagine another person's heritage. 2/2

          Problem with Blatchford is not just it is wrong but it is so ignorant it's impossible to even engage. A black hole of stupidity & bad faith

          In other news, I'm looking for an intern. Main job: whack me on the head with 2 by 4 whenever I'm tempted to tweet on Canadian media.

          I see no time was wasted before the predictable "Irish were the first slaves" shit appeared in the NP forums. How brave to repeat a lie.

          @jonkay kept engaging & came to understanding. His gap may be more around Palestinian Human Rights. Blatchford writes like Rebel Media types
