Liberalism and the French Revolution have one strong thing in common: At the end, they both eat their own.
Lena Dunham is finding that out the hard way. The Girls actress is being labeled a racist by social justice warriors after a comment she made about NFL player Odell Beckham Jr. in an interview and a follow up tweet.
“I was sitting next to Odell Beckham Jr., and it was so amazing because it was like he looked at me and he determined I was not the shape of a woman by his standards. He was like, ‘That’s a marshmallow. That’s a child. That’s a dog.’ It wasn’t mean — he just seemed confused,” Dunham told Amy Schumer in an interview. “The vibe was very much like, ‘Do I want to f*** it? Is it wearing a … yep, it’s wearing a tuxedo.'”
Dunham’s comments about Beckham not wanting to sleep with her caused a firestorm on the left.
Huffington Post writer Zeba Blay wrote that Dunham spoke with a “sense of entitlement and her assumptions about Beckham’s thought-process — assumptions that conjured up racialized stereotypes about black male sexuality.”
Blay said that Dunham’s comments made it seem like Beckham only wanted an animalistic sexual attraction.
For the record, men and women are animals and are inclined to act animalistic towards attraction and sex, regardless of their race.
Regardless of Dunham’s statements and how animalistic or racial they were implied to be, Blay sought the opportunity to sink her teeth into the actress and claim she had a long history of racial insensitivity.
“She’s been criticized for writing a creepily orientalist essay about Japan in 2011, and weirdly tweeting about molesting an “African-American rat” in 2010,” Blay wrote. “In 2013, she was silent for a ridiculously long time after comedian Lisa Lampenelli tweeted a selfie with her using the n-word, and initially defended her silence by saying she didn’t engage in ‘Twitter debates.'”
This is the essence of social justice warriors. Blay isn’t truly outraged by Dunham; she’s advancing her career by SJW-shaming her.
Sadly, Dunham fell for the outrage. She apologized with a post on Instagram, which earned her nothing but scorn from other social justice activists.
This is the essence of social justice warrior victimology, they will stop at nothing and sacrifice anyone for the chance to be the most outraged — even when their comments make them sound mentally unstable.
Straight black men are really the white people of black people.

Like Robespierre, Dunham has made a career by fanning the flames of a mob that lives to be offended and now she is on the social justice guillotine.
