I blame Eddy Murphy

I don’t get it

Television personality Joy Reid and friend think that when whites speak of self-censorship what they really mean is that they want to be free to “say the N-word amongst themselves.

“To them, not being able to be openly racist and discriminatory without consequence is oppression,” Reid wrote. “Trump is the avatar for this ‘freedom.'”

Both Reid and Johnson were addressing a Deseret News article by journalist Bari Weiss, who claims “self-censorship is threatening democracy.”

In the article, Weiss noted how people on the left and right feel pressure to “self-censor” when talking about certain political topics. She mentioned a study from the Cato Institute that found 62% of Americans self-censor, and another 32% worry their political views could harm their employment prospects.

This is the same woman, by the way, who didn’t censor herself when running a blog a decade ago. “Uncle Clarence” referring to the sole black Supreme Court Justice, was just one of her targets: she abhorred gays, “I couldn’t see Brokeback Mountain because it’s just too creepy”, opposed gay marriage, accused many Republicans of being closeted gays — in fact, her most common theme in attacking them was to accuse them of giving each other blow jobs,.etc. Exposed, she gave the usual excuse: someone had hacked her blog — “we’ve turned the matter over to the FBI”, her agent claimed. Four years on, the FBI still hasn’t reported back.

Sad.

Eddie Murphy spoofed this belief in a secret white cabal way back in 1984 — I guess these two buffoons missed the joke.
