How do you measure a "blade" of racism? Is it more or less than milliliter? What instrument is recommended for measuring racism? I have always thought that it is something like pregnancy, either you is or you ain't. Wingnuts sure do talk funny, many seem to be unfamiliar with the English language, the one they insist IS THE ONLY LANGUAGE spoken within the borders of King Dotard the Demented's kingdom.
Yeah, but I bet you did say nasty things about bigots, nazis, white supremacists, misogynists, and anti intellectual maga pro-pandemics. So see!? Both sides do it!
We are truly intolerant of bigots, bullies and creeps and the Right wishes Nazis to be a protected class, because we hurt their feelings ever so. The poor things.
I don't have to even look at my emails from the last 10 years to be sure they aren't full of bigoted bullshit. That's because I'm not a shitty bigot who disparages people for their identities. And I respect people when they aren't looking, even!
These toadstools really believe WE'RE the hypocrites. They think we actually have the same shitty, bigoted beliefs they do, and just hide it better. They honestly think that if they swooped on OUR private correspondence before we could sanitise it, they could prove that Joe Biden routinely calls BO the N-word and THEN all us so-called "Libs" would be well and truly Owned.
Their self- righteousness makes them assume that their hatefulness is the default setting for everyone and that it is only some isolated leftist fringe that disagrees that hatefulness is okay.
Good arguments here. My only beef with this story is that every article on this subject points out the three or four quotes and then alludes to all the other nastier emails. Has anyone seen them? Are we supposed to judge the guy because other emails supposedly exist? It is tiring to see journalists just copying and pasting from each other on these judgement-based articles. We need better reporting. If people are going to lose their jobs based on stuff like this it is not good enough to just alluding to things and taking things out of context. I have little doubt Gruden is a gross good ol' boy but even reporting on him needs scrutiny. That's all.
"Taken out of context" is a favorite go-to when defending offensive remarks. Unless quoting a third party, just when are racist or homophobic or misogynistic terms IN context and therefore blameless? Does a racist etc. rant have to be one hundred percent offensive to be castigated, or does ordinary discourse merely have to be sprinkled with such dogshit? Heavens, I do.not wish to be dismissed as "woke", which is apparently much worse than being a casual racist, or homophobe, or chauvinist pig (does anyone still say that, or is it the onion on my belt?
Pretty damn sure my emails are 100% racism and homophobia free. can't swear that I haven't made disparaging comments about individuals but I try to disparage my enemies based on their own unique brands of awfulness not some perceived characteristic of a class.

Nah, I say that stuff on social media, not in E-Mails. I sure as hell don't say it in WORK emails.
I'm hearing the Spam song now...
I know all about him, and fuck him, inside out and backwards.

Shit buckets.

I remember those days 🤗
Basically, I could have written this, word for word.

Also too BTW: you can check my emails going back to their inception and I have never ever said anything remotely homophobic, misogynist or racist.
Leave the Gruden. Take the Kaepernick.
I know, right?
Yes, and the photos.
It didn't help that the Raiders have lost 3 straight games. If they were undefeated he'd still have a job. That's sportsball in America.
By 2011, any smart person knows that work emails are not private.
