      XPost: wa.politics, alt.politics.clinton, alt.politics.conservative       XPost: atl.general       From: nigger-lovers@disney.com              A USA Today editor announced Friday that she was terminated over       a tweet she posted in reaction to Monday's deadly shooting in       Boulder, Colorado that erroneously blamed a "White man" for the       attack.              Hemal Jhaveri, who served as the "race and inclusion" editor of       USA Today's Sports Media Group, was one of many liberals who       rushed to trumpet their judgment that a "White man" was       responsible for the massacre at a grocery store that left 10       dead.              "It's always an angry [W]hite man. always," Jhaveri wrote in       agreement with Deadspin writer Emily Julia DiCaro, who had       similarly written, "Extremely tired of people's lives depending       on whether a [W]hite man with an AR-15 is having a good day or       not."              After police identified the suspect as Syria-born Colorado       resident Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa, critics accused Jhaveri and the       others who assumed the gunman was White of racism.              TWITTER LIBERALS RUSH TO BLAME BOULDER SHOOTING ON 'WHITE MEN'       BEFORE SUSPECT AHMAD AL ALIWI ALISSA IDENTIFIED              Jhaveri deleted the tweet, which apparently was not enough to       save her job.              "I am no longer employed at USA TODAY, a company that was my       work home for almost eight years," Jhaveri wrote in an essay       published on Medium. "On Monday night, I sent a tweet responding       to the fact that mass shooters are most likely to be [W]hite       men. It was a dashed off over-generalization, tweeted after       pictures of the shooter being taken into custody surfaced       online. It was a careless error of [judgment], sent at a heated       time, that doesn’t represent my commitment to racial equality. I       regret sending it. I apologized and deleted the tweet."              She then shared screenshots of "several high profile alt-right       Twitter accounts" who picked up her tweet "as an example of anti-       [W[hite bias and racism against [W]hites." One of the accounts       she spotlighted belongs to popular YouTube host and frequent Fox       News guest Dave Rubin, who mocked, "I'm shocked and appalled       that the Race and Inclusion editor at a major newspaper is, in       fact, a racist."              KAMALA HARRIS' NIECE BLASTED FOR TWEET ASSUMING COLORADO SHOOTER       WAS WHITE MAN: 'THIS IS WILD'              "There was social media outrage, threats and harassment towards       me, and by the end of the day, USA TODAY had relieved me of my       position as a Race and Inclusion editor," Jhaveri explained. "I       wish I were more surprised by it, but I’m not. Some part of me       has been waiting for this to happen because I can’t do the work       I do and write the columns I write without invoking the ire and       anger of alt-right Twitter."              "I had always hoped that when that moment inevitably came, USA       TODAY would stand by me and my track record of speaking the       truth about systemic racism. That, obviously, did not happen,"       she added.              Suspect in Boulder, Colorado mass shooting makes first court       appearanceVideo       Jhaveri went on to admit that she was "previously disciplined"       for her Twitter activity, claiming, "My previous tweets were       flagged not for inaccuracy or for political bias, but for       publicly naming whiteness as a defining problem. That is       something USA TODAY, and many other newsrooms across the       country, can not tolerate" and that she was the victim of "micro-       aggressions and outright racist remarks from the majority       [W]hite staff."              She alleged instances when she was asked "not to use language       that would alienate [W]hite audiences in stories about Black       golfers and another instance when an editor asked her "what it       was like to be Indian" since his daughter was marrying an Indian       man.              CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP              "This is not about bias, or keeping personal opinions off of       Twitter. It’s about challenging whiteness and being punished for       it... Like many places, USA TODAY values 'equality and       inclusion,' but only as long as it knows its rightful place,       which is subservient to [W]hite authority," Jhaveri concluded.              A spokesperson for Gannett, USA Today's parent company, told Fox       News that the paper was "founded on the basis of diversity,       equity and inclusion" and that "We hold our employees       accountable to these principles both personally and       professionally."              "While we can't discuss personnel matters and don't want to       comment on the specifics of her statements on Medium, we firmly       believe in and stand by our principles of diversity and       inclusion," the spokesperson added.              https://www.foxnews.com/media/usa-today-editor-hemal-jhaveri-       boulder-shooting                      --- SoupGate-DOS v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
