Twittercel says it's racism to accuse her of racism for locking up black kids as a career prosecutor. The real white supremacy is Golden Turmeric Lattes.

1 2019-12-18 by itsnotmyfault

Some Twittercel named Sonia Gupta made a tweet about how drinking a "Golden Tumeric Latte" was cultural appropriation, and if you don't understand how, you'd better educate yourself via google because she's not going to enact the emotional labor to do so: https://twitter.com/soniagupta504/status/1204885052397518848

White man: can I get a Golden Turmeric Latte with almond milk?

Me: can I get a hot chocolate?

The first is cultural appropriation. The second is not.

Now go do some Googling to see if you can figure out why, because a lot of y'all are really ignorant on this subject. ☺️

Apparently this got 700 people mad enough to reply, and among them was some other lawyer who effortposted some of her past cases in his mutli-tweet series:

https://twitter.com/ASFleischman/status/1205672716881342464

Sonia Gupta seems like a fairly harsh person. Which fits, since she spent years as a prosecutor in Lousiana. I looked up a few of her cases.

She attempted to prosecute a juvenile for getting into a fistfight, but lost on sufficiency of the evidence. https://twitter.com/ASFleischman/status/1205672975296614400

She successfully prosecuted another juvenile for aggravated rape by establishing that the a confession made to a DFCS case worker trying to protect a child is admissible without requiring a Miranda warning.

Good news for kids trying to confide in people supposed to protect them https://twitter.com/ASFleischman/status/1205673988892110849

think that if you are someone who is very sensitive about perceived racial prejudice, prosecuting juveniles in Louisiana is an odd career choice.

But if that harshness happens to make you feel good, then the job makes total sense. https://twitter.com/ASFleischman/status/1205674637893472258

It's possible that prosecuting mostly minority young people for a living does more to promote white supremacy than ordering the wrong type of latte. https://twitter.com/ASFleischman/status/1205677043192606720

At 13:40, she says that she preferred being a prosecutor, rather than a public defender, because prosecutors are tasked with "doing what is right." https://twitter.com/ASFleischman/status/1205718129915117568

She goes on to explain that she did not speak up when her office did things she disagreed with and that she defended the State against people whose rights had been violated by police.

Nobody's perfect. https://twitter.com/ASFleischman/status/1205719484750868481

And that's one good reason we should extend each other the benefit of the doubt.

We should not seek to immediately brand someone buying the wrong drink as a bigot. And we should not cheapen that word with so much real injustice in the world. https://twitter.com/ASFleischman/status/1205719785859899392

Folks, I didn't know it, but apparently this whole thread is defamatory. Shut it down people. https://twitter.com/ASFleischman/status/1205858994063106049 (referencing https://twitter.com/soniagupta504/status/1205822993902948352)

Gupta's been mad ever since:

It's fascinating that white supremacists are so enraged by those of us who speak up against it. Using words. On Twitter.

Yet I see no rage for the actual genocide, theft, and oppression that white supremacy inflicts even to this day.

🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 https://twitter.com/soniagupta504/status/1205846000650182657

There's a white male lawyer who decided to listen to a bunch of my podcasts and dig up appellate records of my time as a prosecutor to attempt to impugn my integrity.

I stand by my work as a prosecutor, and, like a good lawyer, am writing up a full response to his nonsense. ☺️ https://twitter.com/soniagupta504/status/1205966763554484225

But first, I'm going to spend the rest of the weekend with my parents since I haven't seen them for a week.

And we might make Haldi Doodh in honor of the tweet that so incensed this white man that he had to do so much research on me. 😉https://twitter.com/soniagupta504/status/1205966763554484225

Seems like he can dish it out but can't take it? I mean he spent all day talking about me then talking to an account that he thought was me.

Well, Mr. Fleischman, I hope you don't miss my blog post replying to your attempts to impugn me. It's going to be such fun. ☺️https://twitter.com/soniagupta504/status/1206022786919124992

You'd think a criminal defense attorney would know better than to libel someone on Twitter. He's still going. And he's still talking to the account he thinks is me hiding behind a fake account, but it's not me. https://twitter.com/soniagupta504/status/1206049251446448129

I wasn't fired. I was let go because the Democrat DA who hired me lost the election to a Republican. I publicly supported my boss, the Democrat. So when he lost the election, the incoming Republican let go a bunch of prosecutors who didn't support him, including me. https://twitter.com/soniagupta504/status/1206049253598138375

You might want to stop making shit up, Andrew. Anyway, I've got more coming your way in my blog post to respond to all the bullshit you've made up. ☺️ https://twitter.com/soniagupta504/status/1206049254466347009

Seems like he can dish it out but can't take it? I mean he spent all day talking about me then talking to an account that he thought was me.

Actually, locking black kids away is a good thing, but only when I do it, or some such bullshit: https://twitter.com/soniagupta504/status/1206316180694274049

So that white male lawyer who spent all day yesterday impugning my integrity because I was a prosecutor has a TON of white supremacists defending him. Even guys with Pepe avatars.

Please, y'all. If I ever have white supremacists defending something I've said or done, tell me. https://twitter.com/soniagupta504/status/1206248605084012544

She's gone "on lockdown" several times since:

I have a lot of Nazis in my mentions, gotta go on lockdown for a bit. https://twitter.com/soniagupta504/status/1205902317373054977

Unfortunately a ton of Nazis are seeking permission to follow me now that I've locked down.

Rather than sort through the list to find the good people who also want to follow me, I've denied all new followers since the lockdown, except for one.

I'll unlock in a day or so. ☺️ https://twitter.com/soniagupta504/status/1206080281402335232

Hey folks, I've decided I'm going to actually deactivate my profile for a little while because Twitter is a distraction from some really important work I need to do right now.

I won't be gone long. See y'all later! 💜 https://twitter.com/soniagupta504/status/1206590694644764675

Anyway, she finally made good on her numerous threats of writing a blogpost, and here is the result: https://twitter.com/soniagupta504/status/1207283936973512706

andrew-fleischman-white-male-supremacy-and-ruminations-on-criminal-justice-from-a-former-public-cf3e70abcf0

It's a great post which goes through everything above much faster:

Due to the abuse I received as a result of his thread, I had to lock my account, and then decided to deactivate it altogether. I have since reactivated and unlocked my account so I can share this post.

lol. cyberbullying. She then spends like 10 paragraphs explaining that even though she was in a program that basically enacts white supremacy by locking away Black Americans it's not her fault, and also she was the oppressed one in the room.

Here's her segue into how Golden Turmeric Lattes are the real white supremacy:

Ultimately I came to deeply understand that the entire criminal justice system is broken, and that it cannot be fixed unless we change how we see each other. That is a change that happens in the mind and in the heart, not in the legislature. I know that even as a prosecutor who tried to balance all interests I was still part of a system that disproportionately punishes Black Americans. In that system, both victims and defendants are victims.

I’ve realized that the best work I can do at this point in my life is to spend my energy changing ideology, and that’s exactly what I do, online and offline. That’s where I think real change can come from, so that’s what I’m doing now. But the way I now choose to go about helping to foster that change is not by trying to convince white people to change their minds. It’s by using my own voice and amplifying the voices of people of color. In doing that, there are white people observing who will learn from me, and white people who won’t. But I will be helping myself and other people of color to change the way we think about ourselves and that may actually be the fundamental ideological shift that needs to happen.

Sometimes using my voice means I talk about cultural appropriation via Golden Turmeric Lattes. Sometimes it means I talk about issues of deep systemic racism. Sometimes it means I talk about what it was like growing up brown in the South, surrounded by white people who think of me as less than them. Thankfully there is room for all these discussions.

A truly online experience.

How worth it?

1 itsnotmyfault 2019-12-18

The title has everything you need to know.

TL;DR: Getting the wrong drink at Starbucks is White Supremacy says a twitter "activist". Some random (white male) public defender thinks that's retarded, spends maybe an hour tops finding out that she used to put black kids in jail, which he thinks is way more of a racial problem than having a latte with Indian spices in it. She spent a week saying that this guy who googled her was a white supremacist cyberbully stalker and he was going to be SO sorry once she wrote a blog post about him. Today, the blogpost drops and in it says she that public defenders are racists with white savior complexes. Also admits she used to put black kids in jail, but it's ok because she was doing it to protect the community and only put the really bad black kids away (and not even all of them!). And she was oppressed while doing it and has checked her privilege, so it's mostly ok. Finally, now she's discovered that the most effective way to fight white supremacy is by yelling on Twitter about cultural appropriation. Also, all haters are racists and sexists.

This doubling down comes despite her Medium blogpost telling the story of her first case as a public defender, where she had the sympathy of the jury based on the facts of the case, and then "alluded to the fact that my client was a Black man being subjected to the whims of an unjust criminal justice system" and instantly lost the case for her client. It's almost as if her methods of progressive activism is actively harming the people it claims to protect.

I also noticed a lot of white saviorism in the New Orleans public defender’s office. At that time, the entire Louisiana public defender system was being revamped in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. The New Orleans office hired a cadre of white law school grads from elite schools on the East coast, and those hires definitely weren’t from Louisiana. They didn’t understand the unique cultural and racial dynamics of my home state, and it showed in their practice. Although a small number of those folks remain at the Orleans Public Defenders, most of them left to practice law far from Southern jurisdictions.

Notice how this paragraph manages to say absolutely nothing.

1 pol__invictus__risen 2019-12-18

Among the problems with twitter is that anyone who responded to this person correctly, by telling her "honey you are a dumb fucking narcissist, shut the fuck up" would get blocked/banned/deleted almost immediately.

This allows people like the woman above to spiral out into these dizzying heights of narcissistic ideation.

Removing common assholes from discourse is like removing the immune system from your body, crippling the collective ability to resist the sort of madness displayed above.

1 Jeb4Pres2020 2019-12-18

I'll go one step further and say that this is a fundamental flaw of internet discourse period, regardless of how lenient the moderation may be. People beyond a certain level of narcissism don't need the threat of harsh words to regain perspective on their place in the universe, they need a real and palpable threat of receiving an atomic wedgie and being stuffed in a locker for their narcissism.

1 FChoL 2019-12-18

So what you're saying is that if freeze peach is banned on the internet we need to bully retards on the internet IRL?

On one hand I'm always on board with bullying, on the other this is gonna be devastating for internet drama, so you're gonna have to give a convincing argument how this is gonna create more drama, instead of merely shifting it from easily accessible shittakes to the occasional shaky, vertical footage of a slap-fight/shouting match.

1 aef823 2019-12-18

The thing is that with retards like these, they probably base a certain amount of their self-esteem on the internet.

You don't need an atomic wedgie to get people to laugh at them, and that's more damaging.
