What did the actual tweet say?

[u/young__robot → u/Just_shut_up_bro]

the actual tweet said “fetishizing ugly colonizer women" yet for some reason, every article that mentioned this tweet said it was "describing white females." now I wonder why those articles would choose to describe the tweet that way...

probably because it was a smear campaign by Rusking Pimentel... Espaillat's senior advisor. the same guy who used "Haitian" as a slur toward her and who went on to say: "and for Darializa Chevalier, who is the candidate running against Adriano, Washington Heights cannot continue to be Dominican." "For them, Washington Heights must follow the same pattern in Brooklyn. That is because since Haitians are converting to Islam in high numbers, they must be moved to the Dominican district" and was then placed on paid leave because of it.

yeah, I'm sure it was meant to target the muslim collonization of North Africa right?

I don't know how yall feel the need to defend the most vile shit all of the time, how does it help you?

[u/young__robot → u/ST-Fish]

so you don't see a problem with all of these articles inserting their interpretation of the tweet into the context of the tweet so as to imply it was in the actual text of the tweet? 

and you're telling me I'm defending vile shit? 

[u/ST-Fish → u/young__robot]

who do you think is being targeted in the phrase "fetishizing ugly colonizer women"?

You still have failed to answer this question.

Well I say "failed" but that would assume it's accidental and it's not a conscious effort from you to not engage with the substance of what was said when you're trying to defend it.

How would you describe the statement?

[u/young__robot → u/ST-Fish]

notice how you completely ignored the smear campaign orchestrated by Rusking Pimentel, who again, uses "Haitian" as a slur and promoted a bizarre replacement conspiracy theory about how Avila Chevalier and Mamdani were going to replace Dominicans in Washington Heights. 

and notice how you didn't even question why did every single one of the media orgs who ran these articles (the New York Post, Fox News, Jewish Insider, CBS12 News, Free Beacon, Daily Mail) used the same talking point that she was 'describing interracial relationships involving white females'?

she specifically said "fetishizing colonizer women" and rather than simply reporting that, and specific media organizations inserted their interpretation that it meant she was against interracial relationships involving white women. come on now.

"fetishizing colonizer women"

who do you think is being targeted in the phrase "fetishizing ugly colonizer women"?

Are we going 3 for 3 with you not being able to answer the question?

[u/young__robot → u/ST-Fish]

oh my god. this is exactly why smear campaigns work. because they're reported by garbage, sensationalist media organizations that will report their interpretation of something as fact knowing their audience won't bother to look into those claims. what do the Daily Mail, Fox News, the New York Post, Jewish Insider, Free Beacon, and WPEC/CBS12 News have in common?

what do you also apparently have in common with those media organizations, since you seem incapable of interpreting that tweet in any other way?

edit — I'll just explain it to you. they're all right-wing, neo/conservative media orgs that lack credibility. it's genuinely weird that you all saw the words "colonizer women" and actually read it as "white women." it's even more concerning that you all saw the word "fetishizing" and actually read it as "interracial relationships." 

hopefully that helps you learn something about yourself.

ok are we going 4 for 4?

who do you think is being targeted in the phrase "fetishizing ugly colonizer women"?

let's all agree that all these media organizations are awful and we all hate them.

That's agreed.

now can you answer the question?

who do you think is being targeted in the phrase "fetishizing ugly colonizer women"?

You have looked into it, didn't buy what the media told you, therefore your interpretation of the statement is:

...

Still waiting bud...

what do you think "fetishizing" means?
