#TestAndTrace Smith 🐇 added,
Is it a joke though? I figured that she was just very angry at white people. Either way, I think she should be allowed to say what she wants. On the other hand, it says a lot that the right kind of racists are elevated into powerful editorial positions at the NYT.
I remember when I first started seeing this kind of stuff on Twitter, many years ago. These people are useful idiots, that basically allowed political entrepreneurs on the hard-right to create the illusion of a moral high-ground.
And, to be honest, this is why I think you're making a mistake to imply she's making a joke. It comes across as you letting her off or giving her cover.
