undefined | Better HN

HN is extremely supportive of the mob justice meted out on uppity black women, and there are numerous supportive comments in this story thread to that effect. Most HN readers don't even see a problem there, much less one that needs any attention or remedy.

Sure, any rational examination of the situation would suggest that Adria's "offense" (saying something she didn't like was "not cool" on her personal Twitter account) was just about the most minor thing a human could possibly do, but the more important thing to HN is that she was a black woman challenging a white man, and that simply cannot be allowed to stand.

> The many people who called for Hank to be fired

Did anyone, at all, call for "Hank" to be fired? His name isn't even publicly known.

Oh get off the racism/sexism card already.

If Hank were the black woman and Adria were the white male, then I swear on my honor I would feel exactly the same way toward both parties here.
