It looked like a harmless joke to me. wtf is wrong with ppl.
Mob justice mentality certainly sucks though, imagine someone simply inspects one of your tweets, rewrites it and posts it somewhere and says "hey this person's racist, call their employer #{employer-number}".
Edit: Maybe I'm not being clear. What I mean is can you point to any harm done by her tweet besides hurt feelings?
And in any case, no crime deserves the horrific public shaming she got.
Am I the only one that "got" what she was saying?
Supporting an environment where it's acceptable to respond to some perceived slight (which changes over time) with an crazy overreacting mob isn't OK in an open society ever. You're very sensitive to racist statements... how do you feel 10 years from when the "offensive statement of the day" is an anti-war statement? Or a statement offensive to a particular religious doctrine?
History is littered with people who do awful things while believing that they are righteous. Nobody in colonial Massachusetts was pro-witch. Nobody in 1950 America was pro-communist.
