“Republicans are going to use this next time someone actually is racist."
“I don’t see anyone here posting in other racism threads.”
Replies these piss me off and are always present in these threads.
It's the most passive aggressive shit possible. The first reply is taking the blame off the perpetrators and putting it on those that will
react to the news. It's saying the Thieving, the Lying, and the Posturing that led to a person being fired is not the issue. It's the way the media and how stupid white hicks will react that are to blame.
The second is an attempt to cognitive dissonante from the fact you got something wrong. And it's something that happens all the time! Young males dine and dash and this is known. The only reason this was given prominence is because it's black kids and a white(ish) women. If these were white kids it wouldn't get more than 12 views on twitter.
As with most threads of this nature "Drunk, white, a-holes kicked out of Waffle House at 2 AM," is not a headline. But make them black and suddenly there is something malicious about it.
Sigh, I guess I'm just complaining that we aren't at the point to assume a black asshole and a white asshole deserve
equal scorn.
