Brandon Victor Dixon Is A Racist, Misogynist, Sexual Predator?
Yes, Political Correctness Is A Sharp Blade...
Oh dear, there is a hot media report this evening about Brandon Victor Dixon, a star of the Broadway play, "Hamilton," and the actor who read from the stage the impassioned appeal for "diversity," "protect our families," "protect our values" to Vice President Elect Mike Pence, attending the show with his wife and nieces and nephews. Although Mike Pence took it with extraordinary grace, praising the brilliance of Dixon and others, and talking of his "joy" at attending, others--including Mr. Trump--demanded an apology for singling out an audience member and lecturing him.
The burden of what was read from the stage was that "diverse" Americans--black, Hispanic, female, gay, you name it--were "alarmed" by the campaign of Mr. Trump. Most particularly, the implication seemed to be, his alleged remarks about women, other races, and so on.
But now, of course, the blade of "political correctness" is swinging and woe to any deviant. It turns out that Mr. Dixon is a deviant by the standard of political correctness.
The press has discovered his tweets in recent times. Here are some examples. All tweets are complete, not excerpts.
"St. Patty's day weekend is like Christmas for black dudes who like white chicks. Happy holidays boys."
"4 every racist comment I get about Trayvon Im going 2 turn 1 white married suburban housewife & mother n2 a jump off” The. Best." ["jump off" is slang for seduce, have sex, and leave]
"the problem is ho's aren't what they used to be. If ho game would step up, cats wouldn't get distracted." ["Ho" of course is Harlem speak for "whore."]
The first thing we know is that Mr. Dixon, however talented, or what his achievements, may NEVER run for public office. Even 20 or 30 years from now, these "racist," "predatory," "misogynist" tweets will be on the record. Victor don't even THINK about it.
And, now, of course, "Slate" magazine, assuming that its editorial judgments are objective and fair, will be describing Mr. Dixon as "a geyser of hate" as they did Mr. Trump.
With this bit of evidence at hand, the entire reporting staff of the "New York Times" had better begin to comb NYC and America to find the white women whom Dixon has turned into a "jump off."
Notice that when Mr. Dixon hears any "racist" comments on Treyvon Martin, he is going to take his revenge on whites in general and in particular sexually on white women who are suburban (middle class) and mothers.
Over to you, Paul Krugman.
