On today’s episode of “White WIll Always White,” the New York Post and one of its journalists, Sarah Paynter. As he lies in a vegetative state, Sarah took time to write an article about rapper DMX’s foreclosures.
According to the archive page for Sarah, her predominant writing interest is real estate.
That’s fair.
Every journalist has a beat. The NY Post has several editors. It is unknown which one approved and released the article entitled “DMX And The Houses He’s Lost During His Career,” but that person should have known better. However, white media insists on taking “L’s” even when it doesn’t have to.
The article received colossal backlash on social media, and rightfully so. In the article, Sarah opened by recapping the difficult health struggle the rapper is experiencing and after the words, “vegetative state,” the daft writer wrote about how DMX ended up in the “suburbs,” and his debt “followed” him as he “moved all over” the country.
@newyorkpost now y’all know y’all trash for that article. We will not stop mentioning y’all until the Editor and Sarah Paynter apologizes to DMX, his family and future journalists that subscribe to your platform for such a targeted, distasteful and classless article.

No article about a Black celebrity written by a white journalist would be complete without a brief rundown of their criminal history. The last line of Sarah’s story mentioned a public housing development, commonly known as “the projects.” Indeed, it was everything a DMX fan wanted to read about one of their favorite entertainers whose life currently hangs in the balance.
It is unknown whether she pitched this article or if it was assigned to her. However, the publication is 219 years old and does not seem to have outgrown its pre-Civil War mindset. In light of this, Sarah was the perfect antebellum Becky to put a successful Black public figure in his place.

Amid a pandemic that has left one in seven renters unable to keep up with the rent, a housing market that is so precarious its future is uncertain.
And with families afraid that eviction moratoriums will expire before they return to work, Sarah decided to go full Becky to pick apart the financial history of a person in a coma.
Meanwhile, the NY Post never mentioned racism, drug abuse, and sexism in the article they published upon Rush Limbaugh’s death.
Sarah Paynter deleted her Twitter account right as the New York Post published the story she had written, which tells me one of two things:
1. The NY Post made her write it or she would be punished.
-or-
2. This was her idea and she knew how trash her idea was from the start. https://t.co/3ZTbdae0sh

Neither the New York Post nor Sarah have issued an apology, and frankly, they shouldn’t. Black people need to be reminded that both it (the publication) and she are the classless and tactless trash that bigoted whites and organizations strive to be. The NY Post’s print version of this story is ripe for Fluffy’s litter box.
