WTF? Of course she can still be racist. #killallwhitemen resulted in her being threatened by right wing extremists - well, what the hell did she think was going to happen? fcukwit.

I don't really care what 'ism' is involved, she's plainly a rather unpleasant person. And her justification of her own prejudices are the worst kind of double-speak. 'I can't be racist because I'm a member of a minority that has been oppressed'. Err.. yeah, right.

What planet is she from? Maybe somebody should give her a dictionary so that she can actually know what she is saying!

I'm pretty sure if someone had said 'killallblackwomen', somebody would have been charged and not given bail.

Apparently she was quoted as tweeting the offensive term but there doesn't appear to be any concrete evidence she actually did, which is probably why she wasn't charged. So that's kid of fair enough. Whether she's a bigot or not is debatable but what is pretty much inarguable is she's way too far up her own arse.

Shes jumped before being pushed

Looks like she really was a rather unpleasant sort. The decision not to prosecute her is under review apparently.

I love the fact someone in the comment thread justified the 'only white people can be racist' line by saying '98% of the racists in Britain are white'. Err.. Not the brightest are you dear?
