Good Gawd, The NYT appears to be a nest of anti-Semitic racist Marxists.
Jazmine Hughes, an associate editor of the
New York Times Magazine, has made a series of racist and antisemitic comments on social media over a multi-year span. A number of the tweets came from Hughes’s personal account, which is associated with her
Times email, after she was
hired by the outlet in April 2015 and continued well into 2017.
Breitbart News has been able to confirm the authenticity of the tweets, which are still visible on Hughes’s page at the time of the publication of this story. While Twitter has not officially verified Hughes’ account, her official
New York Times website
biography links to the account, confirming it is in fact hers....
Hughes is a high-profile
New York Times editor.
Forbes highlighted her on its 2018 “30 Under 30” list of influential media figures. The business magazine even
conducted a brief interview with her, where she promoted herself as a champion of “diverse storytelling,” in the words of
Forbes......
The article in question discussed what Hughes saw as the “gentrification” of humor at “white people’s expense.” Hughes argued that “racialized humor is an instrument that people of color can use to placate themselves in the face of the overwhelming reality: It’s just better to be Caucasian.”
“By making fun of white people, people of color can, in a small way, push back against stereotypes, opposing racial humor by inverting it,” Hughes wrote, claiming such jokes “gain membership in a club open to all people of color, a space impervious to white hegemony.”
The article’s premise is that as white people become more aware of systematic inequalities, they begin to make light of their privilege in an effort to sympathize with communities of color. In most cases, however, Hughes argued such attempts at solidarity only reinforce the status quo at the expense of people of color.
“This is how the party ends—with white people wanting in on the joke so badly that they create a separate category of ‘cool’ white people who mock their own whiteness in an effort at solidarity,” she wrote.
The article appears to be the only one Hughes authored for the
New Republic. Since joining the
Times, she has occasionally written pieces centered on the intersection of race and culture. Her most recent project for the
Times’ magazine was the
1619 Project, a comprehensive series of articles and essays arguing that slavery was the institution that fundamentally shaped the modern United States.
