Why does @MTV hate Asian children?

As Twitchy told you, decidedly un-cultured MTV culture writer Ira Madison III took some disgusting swipes at Sen. Jeff Sessions by maligning his granddaughter:

After deleting that tweet — and leaving up others, including the one referring to the little girl as a “prop” — Madison posted what was apparently supposed to be some kind of apology.
See for yourself how apologetic he is:

Congratulations, Ira. You’ve managed to make an even bigger jackassed prick of yourself.
Yes this is everyone else's fault. https://t.co/1fsTVzuy6t

Not an apology: https://t.co/TVwu44JvoU

No "sorry" or "apologize" in here https://t.co/Wz4ciUDFzf

Note that @ira deleted this tweet but left the others and didn't actually apologize. Not repentant about attacking the family. pic.twitter.com/FXrE3Vqym0

He’s not sorry for what he said. If he’s sorry for anything, it’s that he’s been exposed as the bigoted garbage person that he is.

You ever consider that your racist attack on his grandchild might be seen as a racist attack on his grandchild? @ira #Repugnant

That wasn't a joke. You dehumanized a child because of her race, you POS!!!

A vile tweet is deleted, then defended with a pile-on tweet of more unfair smears of Sen. Sessions. Cringeworthy. https://t.co/z3EcZJc72n

It's only because of "how it's seen" that you delete, not the disgusting act of thinking and posting it initially. #SoWoke

Calling out what you perceive as racism by being blatantly racist. A winning strategy. https://t.co/b6TpVZH8fE

This is why we can't take you seriously on "race issues" you can't see your own prejudice. https://t.co/8W8c1dS5LF

Its not that. Its that you exposed yourself as a racist.

So, where does Ira go from here? This seems like a pretty good start:
Next steps:
1. Delete account
2. Get off grid
3. Move to Alaska
4. Work on a fishing boat
5. Come to grips with yourself
6. Return a new man https://t.co/kaZsqSoVTI— Dr. Kankokage (@kankokage) January 10, 2017
