That's a great response to the IQ debate, I think.

That's exactly what I was thinking. Especially when he asked someone to debunk it.

I don't know who this Sullivan guy is or don't know a lot about what he was writing. Is he a white supremacist or something?

All I know is that he's a conservative writer. I remember seeing him on TV opposing gay marriage despite being gay himself. But that was a long time ago. I don't know what he's up to now.
 
Eh, it's an ill though out sarcastic tweet. Not every tweet needs to be a 20 part breakdown of an opinion you disagree with. Anyway, I'm not saying I think she ought to have sent the tweets, but it's hardly evidence of racism on her part.

Do you feel the same way about her comparing a race of people to an animal?

He's a fairly prominent conservative writer. Was the editor for National Review but I think writes for New York magazine these days.

"Dumbass ****ing white people marking up the internet with their opinions like dogs pissing on fire hydrants"

I get what she's saying and it's a pretty good simile. She could have written it a lot less offensive and gotten the same point across.

Yeah, as a very white guy, I'm not about to get my panties in a bunch over a member of a marginalized community taking shots at whitey, especially when those shots are obvious jokes. Punching up vs punching down is a thing.

He’s a conservative who had a crisis of faith and became a big Obama supporter in 2008. He was never an editor for the National Review. As far as I know Sullivan has never opposed gay marriage, in fact, he wrote a book supporting it decades ago and almost 30 years ago wrote an essay in The New Republic (which he did edit for a few years) that helped start the gay marriage movement.
