That strikes me as very reprehensible. David__77 Apr 2018 #1

Even though I assume Joy did NOT make these recently discovered comments, it WOULD be nice if InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2018 #23

It also troubles me that so few are addressing the content of what was said. David__77 Apr 2018 #25

That's because Joy is denying that she said it... it would be a good PR move if Joy HERSELF InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2018 #27

I agree. David__77 Apr 2018 #28

Absolutely, Im actually surprised this hasnt sparked a national debate on homophobia, condemning it. InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2018 #33

Maybe because it's questionable that she wrote it, so why address something that probably.... George II Apr 2018 #90

I totally disagree w these types of past posts, Crutchez_CuiBono Apr 2018 #2

And African Americans have been beaten, lynched & killed for less than what Joy Ann has done. TheSmarterDog Apr 2018 #3

She is African American...and this post should be deleted. Demsrule86 Apr 2018 #4

And implying that Joy Ann advocates for LGBT youths to commit suicide is perfectly OK? TheSmarterDog Apr 2018 #7

I certainly didn't imply this. Demsrule86 Apr 2018 #50

But the OP certainly did. TheSmarterDog Apr 2018 #54

No I did not dsc Apr 2018 #78

You implied Joy Reid is responsible for suicides of LBGT youths. Yes you did. TheSmarterDog Apr 2018 #80

This whole attack on Joy Ann is b/c she's black, and b/c she's a woman. TheSmarterDog Apr 2018 #6

I typed the exact, precise words she said dsc Apr 2018 #8

Where's the link to this flamebait? Wwcd Apr 2018 #11

I didn't say she was responsible for deaths dsc Apr 2018 #13

So your opinion piece DOES hint at Reid being responsible for Deaths. Wwcd Apr 2018 #15

I said the logic behind the words dsc Apr 2018 #24

Logic? There was no logic to your intentional attempt at Wwcd Apr 2018 #31

I have a life lived dsc Apr 2018 #34

We all have "a life lived'. Linking Joy Reid to these Deaths is a really low blow. Wwcd Apr 2018 #46

"Regardless who wrote it the sentiment " ARE YOU SERIOUS!! Wwcd Apr 2018 #74

Ms. Reid says her blog was hacked... tonedevil Apr 2018 #76

I'll bet your ignore list is something to behold /nt tonedevil Apr 2018 #84

You're heavily implying it. And that's reprehensable. TheSmarterDog Apr 2018 #18

Are you defending... tonedevil Apr 2018 #56

Do you think the OP is defensible? TheSmarterDog Apr 2018 #57

I asked you first... tonedevil Apr 2018 #60

I don't think lying is defensible. TheSmarterDog Apr 2018 #61

You are evading the question... tonedevil Apr 2018 #62

And you're cherry picking. TheSmarterDog Apr 2018 #64

I picked no cheries... tonedevil Apr 2018 #66

And you left out the OP's offending comment on it. Cherry Picking. TheSmarterDog Apr 2018 #67

I have asked you from the start... tonedevil Apr 2018 #72

You think people should be held responsible for things they don't say? TheSmarterDog Apr 2018 #73

Who am I holding responsible... tonedevil Apr 2018 #77

You're targeting Joy Reid for things she didn't say, from an anonymous accusation TheSmarterDog Apr 2018 #79

How am I targering... tonedevil Apr 2018 #83

It's always "she said, or may have said". Why not wait until we KNOW whether or not she said it? George II Apr 2018 #93

That's IF Joy said it... has yet to be proven. InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2018 #30

Yes, it's "IF" "IF" "IF", yet the character destruction goes on, on the premise of "IF"!!! George II Apr 2018 #94

I understand completely... it's a terrible situation to be in for Joy and her supporters. InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2018 #95

African Americans have also been beaten and lynched based on the kinds of unproven allegations EffieBlack Apr 2018 #29

So it isn't a fact that those words are homophobic dsc Apr 2018 #32

And raping a white woman and stealing flour were illegal, but that doesnt mean that every black EffieBlack Apr 2018 #35
