shutting the fuck up is where

so where are all the people that were defending the bikers again?

Too bad there weren't any cops there to put a stop to this.

People: commenting on the cost of the belt or the look of the belt is really not important. Stop. It would be the same as if I got arrested after I bought a $300 video card at Fry's just because of my ethnicity. There are plenty of things that we can judge people for spending $300 on if we're dicks.

I can only imagine how the conversation with the police went:

An attractive college student buying a single luxury fashion accessory is about the least suspicious thing in the world.

Shit, send him a half dozen belts.

Also, is $300 a lot of money now? Like, is it really inconceivable that the average person on the street might have saved $300 through legitimate means? Sure, it's a lot for a belt, but this isn't a $60,000 Birkin bag.

This is actually a brilliant PR moment for Ferragamo's if they can take it and run...

I DIDN'T NOTICE HE WAS BLACK BECAUSE I DON'T SEE COLOR, MANNNNN. I'D CALL ANY PRESIDENT RACIALLY-NEUTRAL TERMS LIKE "CHICAGO GANGSTER THUG" AND INSIST THEY WERE SECRETLY FOREIGN.

Ugh, this is nauseating. Sue the shit out of 'em, Christian.

omg. If I were Ferragamo's PR person, I would send him that belt free of charge. 'Cause we all know Barney's will issue some lame non-apology if that even.

BUT THE PRESIDENT IS BLACK. WHY CAN'T YOU SEE HOW BLACK THE PRESIDENT IS?

I am beginning to suspect all the white people who said racism was Over (tm) might not have been speaking from knowledge.

So much yuck. His debit card was approved for the purchase, he showed ID, the store made its money.

Some people are such assholes.

Dear Men Who Aren't Firefighters,

No, civil you maybe, racist you are as well. A somemoreecard is just that a card. I didn't threaten to do anything to you. And, never would. But, you deserved the (figurative) butt hurt. It's all figurative. Adios.

I think we've spent enough time seeing things from a racist point of view. Why don't you try to see ours for a while?

You're not worth an insult.

Ok, veganvampyreyeah, I am going to lay somethings out for you, and I will do so with the authority with which my Ivy-League background, black American heritage, international experience and general good sense imbues me. So, your comments are in Bold and Italics, mine are not.
