Donovan Edwards Antisemitic (Re)tweet
Ed(Seth) here. I woke up to this thread already deep off the rails so I'm hiding the comments and locking it. Original post was a link to the tweet below.
- Donovan Edwards RT'd an antisemitic message, then took it down. Specifically this one:
- Regardless of his intent (which I take was to point out how a Black man who uses hate speech against a white ethnic group is more quickly vilified than a white person who goes racist), what he shared was antisemitic trash. The video it went to is antisemitic trash. To have it shared by a graduate from West Bloomfield and a student at Michigan, and a member of the Michigan football team is embarrassing to West Bloomfield, to Michigan, and to the Michigan football team.
- He's 19. And at Michigan. I don't believe this is a way of thinking he's going to subscribe to permanently.
- The way of thinking, not the accident of badly articulating it, is the problem.
- The amount of vitriol directed at Ace, who screengrabbed the retweet, watched the video, and shared it in a way that was valuable to anyone trying to figure out what just happened, in this thread was absolutely disgusting. The guy is our friend and worked here for most of a decade. Grow up.
