“They tend to isolate you into talking to and thinking like people like yourselves also, which is not a good thing.”

That isn’t the same. People responding to something said about white people doing shitty things and assuming it’s them - means it’s probably them. Someone responding to a specific comment directed to them- it’d be pretty stupid to assume it wasn’t directed at them. Btw: The root. A perfect example of people using a…

Brava, Ms. Judge. 

LOL. Your trolling is A+....

Before we pass judgement, do we know his anxiety levels about the economy?  I don’t want to accidentally assume that this is a racist piece of shit who was threatening a group of black people with a gun just so he didn’t have to share an elevator with them.
