OMG so sorry this happened to you.

This sucks. I’m so sorry you have to deal with this crap.

Holy crap, that is a shitty thing to have happen to you. I’m sorry.

is that from gmail or bluesky?

So sorry you have to deal with such garbage. Brace yourself as I think this is only the beginning w/ these knuckledraggers.

He’s a Black man living in America. This isn’t the beginning for him; it’s the latest episode

You are sadly correct.

What in the hell!?

Damn :/

Fuck, I'm sorry

God I’m sorry you have to deal with this shit from these shitstains.

What the fuck man I’m so sorry

😡

***praxis***

Good God, I’m so sorry.

Just want you to know that I appreciate your work, for whatever this rando's opinion is worth.

Fucked up 4th perfectly encapsulates the country.

That is despicable. I am so sorry.

God, there’s also the people comparing you being at the NYT as equivalent to working for the Daily Stormer, just not fucking helping.

Jesus, I'm so angry and so sorry.

Ah I see the NYTimes is now forcing you to work with that source for the zorhan article

They mad that you pointed out the hypocrisy of the NYT or that the NYT then forced you to delete a post about it? Not the brightest folks

I’m sorry man.

Fuck that asshole. Seriously.

Won’t you get in trouble for screenshotting Sulzberger’s email?

OMG, Jamelle. I'm so sorry you have to wade through this garbage. JFC.

Jesus fuck. I'm a person who is sometimes critical of you working at the NYT, but this is completely beyond the pale and you shouldn't have to deal with shit like this.

wishing a very "shrivel into a raisin and get thrown in a bad salad" to everyone who sent you this

Revolting.

Apologies for this bullshit you’re dealing with, on top of everything else. I don’t know why they’re mad at you and not the NYT.

Fuck them all

Fucking mega-yikes

So sorry. The worst I ever had was a PR guy threatening to sue me and the company over a video I did likening a for-profit college to the old matchbook course ads. (They went bankrupt six months later.) But biz reporting is different than policy opinion.

Ugh, deplorable

What are your bosses saying about things like this? (Since they had a lot to say earlier.)

Wow I didn’t think Bluesky activists used email

They had to watch multiple instructional TikToks

ken i send all my hate mail to you via bourbon bottles that i throw into the Pacific and hope that you'll find some day pls reply

LOL

What, it's not like they're actually going to firebomb the Wal-Mart, Ken.

Well, fuck that person.

Fuck this bullshit

A person who has never and will never contribute anything of value to the world is somehow mad at you for existing. What a loser.

I'm sorry.

:-(

Abominable. My condolences

Woah! Absolutely vile.

i wish i had any surprise left in me thank you for your courage is there any way the public can meaningfully support you?

Looks like Lasker was sending stuff to Jamelle, too

Those stupid bastards are confined to their skulls and unable to escape.

Hateful garbage!

Jamelle This is the community your employer is protecting today, I think it’s a deeply troubling issue at the paper This is the culture of Stormfront and American Neo-Nazism, it’s so far gone it’s hard to put into words Is the leadership at the NYT and its editorial staff, into Stormfront?

Incredibly distressing to read something this dehumanizing about someone who is as serious about his intellectual project as you are, in addition to the pure racism.

All of this. I hate it here.

Yep, time to go

It's disgusting and disgraceful in equal measure

Who the fuck thinks it's OK to talk to anyone like that?

I don't think that's cool either. Whoever sent that needs a remedial on what constitutes human decency towards fellow humans.

The n-word (leftistly)

It's like a tailor asking if you dress left or right when encountering the word on your person.

Jeezus

You are the only professional, journalist or otherwise, that I routinely see getting cajoled for where they work and choices their employer makes. There are not enough “pure” companies out there to employ all of your critics, so I’m willing to say many of them are hypocrites

Wtf

That is beyond foul. I’m sorry people send you stuff like this

Jfc. I’m so sorry.

So sorry Jamelle. You've got orders of magnitude more cultural capital than that bigot could ever hope for.

Jesus Christ. wtf.

what??? who did send you this? expose them

This kind of abuse is almost always anonymous, unfortunately.

Yikes. I hope it ain't that bad but given my inbox, it probably is.

jfc sorry man. that’s awful

Jesus. I'm sorry.

Probably penned that on their way to a July 4th party too. ‘Murica!

💔 That's horrible.

That’s so incredibly fucked up! Hope that fuckstick eats concrete.

Damn

...?... (no words)

Omg WTF

Ooof, I’m sorry.

Jesus fucking christ dude, I'm sorry you have to deal with that

ffs

Personally I'm stunned you haven't told Dash Sulzberger to pound sand and departed for another newspaper.

Chapo fan probably

Your bosses must be thrilled that their efforts to woo such unvarnished racists into becoming NYT readers are bearing fruit.

Jesus

Yeah fuck anyone who even thought that, let alone posted it or sent it.

Thanks for the work you do❤️

Jesus Christ, that's awful

I literally cannot put a heart on that post and I heart like, every post I see. I hate the world sometimes.

but fr Samuel L Jackson depicts him in the movie so...

👆

That is awful.

This makes me sick. I am so sorry. 💔😢 sadly racism is real and we are going backwards. 💔

Ughghhhhhh. I’m so sorry.

Jesus man that sucks. You should not have to deal with that.

Wow I 🥹

Jesus Christ

I know you’re a better man than I because I would have posted the address

What the fuck I am so sorry this is insane

Jamelle, I’m so sorry you are dealing with this. Just want you to know that I really appreciate all you do and that you are easily one of my favorite people on this site.

Thank you for posting this response. I was unsure of how to express what I was feeling and you nailed it perfectly.

Such bullshit

Jesus fuckin Christ

These creeps still manage to shock me

Disgusting. I’m so sorry.

JFC. Your bosses should have to weed through your inbox before you have to look at it so they can take the psychic damage instead.

Wooooof. I’m sorry dude. You’re a national treasure.

What the fuck kind of supposed progressive would do something like this? I’m sorry this happened to you, Jamelle.

Man, I've met "progressives" like this. They're not common, but they're around, believe me. White dudes who think they're "down" enough to use the n-word? Yup. I'm sorry, too, Jamelle. And I don't speak to that dude no more.

I'm generally curious how we know it was a progressive? I'm not dismissing it, of course, but I have seen some MAGA trolls on here.

Because it’s the progressives who are demanding that he resign from the NYT in protest.

Total support to you.

White writers do some insane shit and the black guy gets harassed. What could be more American than that?

I'm so sorry. I don't know what else to say.

I’m so sorry

I would bet a lot of money that person is a far leftist.

"No war but class war."

Geezus. Sorry.

People should be ashamed.

Black journalism

I don't wanna like that post because shit's bad. I don't wanna repost that post because shit's bad. So I guess I'll reply and say you deserve none of the heat you've gotten. You have been and remain one of the clearest-eyed political commentators of our generation. So, thanks man.

Fuck these awful assholes

Jesus.

😖😞

That’s heinous, I’m so sorry. I hope you use filters freely and often, and maybe get someone else to dip into those folders on your behalf first.

That's just absolutely awful.

WTF

Jesus. This is abhorrent and I’m sorry.

Fuck, I'm so sorry you have to put up with this shit.

Oh my god

Just keep doing what you're doing @jamellebouie.net.

Today of all days. SMDH

I'm sorry Jamelle

Jesus

Truly Americans will turn absolutely anything into an excuse to yell at a Black person. I’m sorry you’re going through this shit, and thank you for doing as much as you can to force a bit of good into this increasingly corrupt publication.

People suck

I’m so sorry Jamelle

Don’t let the bastards grind you down.

man, that sicks shit. whoever wrote that should go throw themselves into a sewage pit.

😩💔😩

Fucking hell. What the fuck is wrong with people? Anyone who sends an email like that does not know the light of God and will never see Valhalla.

That is grotesque - I’m sorry you’re dealing with this jamelle.

Dear lord. Sorry that someone felt dumb+bold enough to type this, address to you, and hit send.

Who was it? I just wanna tell em something.

That’s fucked up dude

I'm sorry.

Resolving to block people like this whenever I encounter them. There is literally nothing to be achieved in conversing with them.

my stance has now changed from "I'm not sure Jamelle Bouie trying to improve the NYT from within is a good idea" to "Jamelle Bouie should keep writing for the NYT just to spite whoever sent that"

I'll go ahead and delete the posts below and flame your bosses elsewhere. The internet bullies don't have the power (and presumed obligations) of a major newspaper, but they made a story you were not a direct participant in very personal for you in a way it might otherwise have not been. Apologies.

I can't begin to imagine the resolve it takes to deal with this kind of bullshit on a daily basis, and I'm sorry we live in a world where it's common. From now on when I see anyone angrily tell you that you're morally obligated to quit the Times, I'm going to wonder if they're the one who did this.

Shit sorry man

Sadly not surprised, though. My racist brethren will descend to any occasion.

Fucking fuck that fucking fucking shit

couldn't have said it better myself

Do we think that's from the right or the left?

The fact that it genuinely could be either perfectly encapsulates the Black experience

So true.

Yup.

The meaning of the terms makes it clear that it’s someone who thinks they’re doing a good leftism

bsky.app/profile/rain...

Holy shit. I am so sorry.

it's disgusting and deranged. hang in there!

This sucks.

We love you, please don't go!

JFC, what jackasses.

They miss an opportunity to yell at a black guy, do they?

That's fucking terrible and downright vile. I am sorry you're subject to that for your truly excellent work.

Oh my god, I’m so so sorry you’re dealing with this.

JFC man… Sorry you have to put up with this shit.

Horrifying man. God so fucked up

Jamelle, do you have a network of people you can funnel this stuff to to handle?
