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.

  1. Donovan Edwards RT'd an antisemitic message, then took it down. Specifically this one:
  2. 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.
  3. He's 19. And at Michigan. I don't believe this is a way of thinking he's going to subscribe to permanently.
  4. The way of thinking, not the accident of badly articulating it, is the problem.
  5. 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.
