You must not know what words mean, if you need clarification. This is victim blaming on its face. A woman writes a story about how she was raped when a man forced his way into her house, and this person comments that you shouldn't answer the door if you can't identify the person at the door. His entire comment is

Thank you for your helpful advice on how to avoid being raped by not being raped, on how to seek justice following your rape by hoping for justice, and on how to cope with being raped by not making other people feel bad that you've been raped. Every man should instruct his women thusly.

Takeaways from your comment: (1) You are repulsive.

I've been an African American my entire life and I've never seen one of these race cards. Where are they issued? How much do they cost? Do all minorities get them or is "race card" an insult you reserve for just us?

Raise your hand if you think this article or one like it should obviously have been written and any self-referential "I saw this coming" bullshit is irrelevant and counterproductive. Duh, black guy gets called "nigger" by like half the civilized world, of course the black writer on perhaps the premiere online sports

I'm going to go out on a limb and say I think people calling Sherman nigger and monkey is about race.

So.... He's black and arrogant, but not talented? Got it.

That interview was awesome. If you disagree, you should take a long look at how boring your existence is.

The irony is that you're literally the only commenter who's said this in these comments.

But yes, tell us more about how annoying it is when feminists.
