with on most other important topics are out of line. It takes maturity and alot of confidence in your overall moral position to demonstrate that type of honesty.

People pushing back on the the call-out of the obvious racist nature of her tweets are doing so because, I suspect, they feel insecure about how strong "our side" can be if we start calling each other out for this type of racism. Like the cement is too weak and our coalition, or whatever, will break apart otherwise.

But they're wrong.

We actually make ourselves stronger when we stick to the original, fair and correct definition of racism. Not the one doctored in the last 25 years to ensure that no PoC can ever be considered a racist.
