I have to ask.........why do you presume she's radical leftist. She might actually be more centralist Democrat. I mean, we gotta believe she's a Democrat, but I don't have any information to indicate she's an extreme Leftist.
She may well be expressing openly what most Democrats think/believe but only say in the safety of an audience of their own.

You certainly can be racist towards white people, but she was trying to troll her own trollers. She wasn't making a statement about humanity. Now, it wasn't the best approach but I wouldn't destroy her career over it.
In the context she explains, I don't think it's a huge deal. Just like a comedian telling a rape joke. It's not very classy, but in context, they aren't condoning rape.
There is this new trend of digging up dirt (from years ago) on someone successful and posting it online with little to no context in an attempt to get them fired. Both left and right leaning people.
I'm not going to blindly convict someone to career death on the wims of contextless internet trends.

It's all very simple. Many people who were bullied in the past are becoming bullies themselves. Now it's blacks, lgbt in the near future. You get what you or your "friends" give.
