she's a vile evil cow.
Now if a white person says that there would be a mess i'll cry from the do gooders.
No one should say what she said on matter what colour they are.
I think it would be ok for a white person to say they don't like white people.
Btw, calling somebody a "vile evil cow" doesn't make you any better than them.
I would be pretty sure she's been a victim of selective quoting. The OP did that himself with his "quote" in the first post.
Yes I am sure she has, but then that's exactly what she does to others so I have no sympathy for her. And I am pretty sure like many people in the media half of what she says she does so to get attention.
I think the problem with people like this is sometimes they do have something to say that is worth listening to, but they spend so much time trying to be controversial that when they do have something interesting to say many just don't listen.
She is a daft racist bitch. I remember her telling a black woman that she (the black) woman couldn't be English as she was black.
I'm sorry, but that is literally unbelievable. If she had said any such thing there would be a million links to people combusting about it.
You must have got something wrong about it, unless you can find a reputable link to it. I don't always agree to her, but she is an articulate and sophisticated writer, and not given to saying something that would make a seven year old jeer.
Someone clear this up for me, is it the same angry loner who keeps making new accounts to talk about race and immigration and can spell just fine but leaves a single random word out of every sentence?

Oh come off it. She's just an attention-seeking troll and she knows it.
She's the left-wing equivalent of Katie Hopkins- says the most outrageous things she can to draw ire and attention.
She really isn't. I can't think of any examples of her openly trolling, or jeering at people because of their body shape or class, can you? Nor is she particularly outrageous; I have read a lot of things she has written, and on the whole she is passionate but considered.
Are you saying the left are all non-white and gay?
No, I'm saying that anyone female and/or non-white and/or gay takes precedence over everyone else in the leftie parallel universe. To be fair, it's an understandable reaction to years of white/male/heterosexual dominance.
I'm just hoping that, one day, we can all learn how to genuinely treat each other with respect, no matter what we are. But maybe that's just a pipe dream....

everybody should be treated equally and nobody should be more important than anybody else.

You said the left were vile and hateful towards anyone who's white or straight, which implies none of the left are white or straight.
Well, if nothing else, you've coined a useful expression.
(1) Decent left wing people like me really resent the crass stereotype the right wing uses on DS so now we can assume they merely refer to some "faux left" of their imaginations.
(2) Decent left wing people like me really resent the views of certain people whose egos alone drive them to masquerade as having left wing politics, so "faux left" is quite a handy label to describe them.

That is hilarious about 50 Shades of Grey
Brown also admitted that when ever she heard over breakfast that our troops had been killed in Iraq she would pump her clenched firsts in the air hissing yes, yes, yes.

As if Uganda had just won the World Cup.
This was quoted before in another DS thread about her from 2011. Was it you? Can you link or even say when she did this? Or is it just some sort of urban myth to bring her down?
I'm ambivalent towards the woman to be honest, but the above doesn't seem like something she would do, or even admit in public she would do. She certainly is against the war but she has said she feels some of our troops are mentally and physically scarred by fighting in Iraq. And certainly has no love for Blair and others involved in what she calls an illegal war.

double standards.
if it's wrong for whites to be racist nobody should be allowed racist.
I'm a bleeding heart socialist, Green voting vegetarian and even I think that she's an embarrassment- a Viz cartoon born true.

Racism is always wrong. As Yasmin Alibhai Brown said, for example, "We don’t talk nearly enough about Asian racism against black people. "
And more YAB: "Concentrating only on white racism means other forces which destroy lives are never confronted."
In fact, here is a full article in which she takes a complex, thoughtful view of the topic: http://www.independent.co.uk/voices/commentators/yasmin-alibhai-brown/black-racism-is-every-bit-as-bad-as-white-racism-596435.html

I need evidence for both sides of that sentence, none of which sounds true to me.

And yet you are not even new to this forum (if it's sadly your only means of knowing what is going on out there).
It's a shame they didn't both vapourise and vanish, like matter and antimatter, on contact:D The world would be a better place.

I doubt it's quite as he quoted, but I have no sympathy for her as I've screamed at the TV many times when she's been spouting her nonsense.
Look up 'self-hating'.
She does seem quite reasonable in that article you linked to in all fairness.
