Today, I learned that it's apparently unfair to be fired for being bad at your job. 👇

Attiah says she was fired because she dared speak against "hatred and violence" in an article attacking Charlie Kirk. In other words, she thinks she took a stand against the Nazis and is being oppressed for it.

From her Substack:

The problem?

Charlie Kirk never said that.

And yet, leftists are out there proving they don't have any brain power with hot takes like this:

Ron's own post disproves his argument!

Charlie Kirk never said black women don't have brain processing power. He was talking specifically about diversity, equity, and inclusion policies that hire and promote people based on skin color and sex. As you may recall, Joe Biden told the nation in 2022 that he would appoint a Supreme Court justice (Ketanji Brown Jackson) who was specifically a black female. Kirk's argument is that hiring people based on these categories is racist and sexist.

If we would have said three weeks ago […] that Joy Reid and Michelle Obama and Sheila Jackson Lee and Ketanji Brown Jackson were affirmative-action picks, we would have been called racist. But now they're coming out and they're saying it for us! They're coming out and they're saying, 'I'm only here because of affirmative action.' Yeah, we know. You do not have the brain processing power to otherwise be taken really seriously. You had to go steal a white person's slot to go be taken somewhat seriously.

(For examples of Ketanji Brown Jackson's "intellect," see here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and here.)

You will notice that he singled out specific people and spoke about them. He wasn't talking about categories across the board. He never said "black women do not have the processing power."

Attiah made that up entirely.

As a reporter for the second-largest newspaper in the United States.

And as it turns out, journalists get fired when they make things up.

Despite this, Pulitzer Prize winners are circling the wagons to prove to us once and for all that they don't have the brain processing power to understand middle school lessons on the proper citation of sources:

Attiah is an angry ideologue with an axe to grind, but she wants to play the victim. In addition to celebrating cancel culture, she also had this to say about white people:

A conservative who believes men can't be women would have been fired from his newspaper job years ago, but a black woman who is vehemently angry with and racist toward white people was allowed to remain on staff?

Attiah, may I suggest that your own hateful racism is the problem here?
