@Olivianuzzi Hi black woman, journalist, NYT reporter. It’s not that we thought it was too dangerous to read. It’s that the most prominent journalism platform in the land should not be legitimizing the federal governments use of US military to violently repress dissent oppressed minorities.
@Olivianuzzi This is most obviously not a free speech issue. Cotton is free to write and publish that wherever he chose. He should not have been able to publish it here. Where is the line: Publish people calling for genocide because in the market place all ideas deserve prominent airing?
@Olivianuzzi If the NYT wanted to give light to his views as a public service, they could have interviewed him, written a news article where facts would be corrected and there could be a pushback against unconstitutional ideas — not simply give over our platform to spew dangerous rhetoric.
@Olivianuzzi As a black woman with black family and friends, this is not some intellectual exercise.
