this is real racism....

That’s what I thought. But check this out.

Oh, give me a break. This was an innocent, clumsy mistake. The person who wrote it was trying to emphasize the fact that a black person won a sport in an area where blacks are stereotypically considered not to be strong. The phrase, “blacks can’t swim,” has always been a common trope. Bad writing, but in no way mean…

I agree- the guy literally began violently licking her breasts in front of everyone in the bar, most likely on video. The cops should at least ask to see the video.

Bingo. An accusation, even if true, is an accusation. The policy for sexual harassment or assault should be the same as the policy for robbery, car theft or murder. File a police report and begin the legal process.
