Don’t ask us how a tweet about self-censoring turned into an all-out ridiculous back and forth claiming people on the Right would sacrifice their tax cuts if they could openly use the n-word like ‘in the good old days.’
We will just chalk this up to Twitter being Twitter.
It all started here:
Yes, because code-switching, mask wearing and all of the other hoops that black people have to go through to appease enough of the majority to even GET into law school isn't the issue. But censoring yourself from saying the N word amongst friends is https://t.co/PsKFXl1BUb

Huh?
How did he make that jump from Bari’s tweet?
Oh, and if you think that’s nutty get a load of how Joy ‘Time-Traveling-Hackers-Posted-Homophobic-Slurs-On-My-Blog’ Reid responded:
I’ll say it again: people on the right would trade all the tax cuts for the ability to openly say the n-word like in “the good old days.” To them, not being able to be openly racist and discriminatory without consequence is oppression. Trump is the avatar for this “freedom.” https://t.co/RlqAFYe5Zr

Yup, Joy is still … Joy. And joy-less.
You know the face you make when you’re at the store and your mask has slipped a little bit beneath your nose and some crazy-eyed woman in a ‘Girl Power’ t-shirt starts to say something stupid to you but then thinks better of it because you give her the look?
Yeah, just made that same face.
This is perhaps the dumbest, most ill-informed thing I’ve ever read. Seriously, how did you get your head that far up your ass?!
— BadgerJer (@BadgerJer) March 5, 2021
It’s definitely a skill.
People on the Right?
Like those that freed the slaves?
Like those that voted unanimously for Civil Rights?
THOSE people on the Right?
Ask LBJ what he thought about black people, and your vote. He's
the one who had NO problem using that word. Neither does Joe Biden.— Utmost Conservative (@LeaningFarRight) March 5, 2021
We know you know we know you know that we read a lot of stupid stuff on Twitter but Joy … yeah, her stuff is cream of the crop stupid.
I'm on the right and in the south. I don't know anyone who feels this way. I don't like the n-word. Shame on you for using your platform to be so divisive.

Completely unhinged.

Completely and even beyond unhinged.
What people on the right? Show me so I can call them out.

The time-traveling hackers who wrote a bunch of homophobic drivel on her blog to frame her and stuff.
I know you’re still upset that the FBI hasn’t caught that time traveling hacker that posted all of those homophobic comments on your old blog yet, but that’s no excuse to lie outright like this. You need to take a chill pill & stop your projection.

Shock jock tweeting and attempting to keep the racial divide high, as that's your brand. Get a soul and stop all of this nonsense.

Delete your account. This is abhorrent.

Seriously.
But she won’t.
It was DEMOCRATS who loved the n-word. Learn history. Read a book maybe.

Imaginary conservatives are real dicks, aren’t they?

Speaking of freedom to be openly racist, @MSNBC continues to employ Joy Reid. #Privilege https://t.co/CU1ZkKb0GI

It’s different when she does it.
Or something.
