I dunno. I just heard in college. I would love for it to not be true.

Additionally, most shelters won’t adopt out black cats near halloween because they legitimately have to worry that someone will sacrifice the cat.

It’s supposed to say “I’m glad *he didn’t dye” and now I can’t edit it. Oh well.

I was just trying to not get too off-topic with my last paragraph (though that ship sailed long ago haha). I don’t think there is much connection to racism against black people, tbh, except maybe in a general sense in that we culturally see “dark” as “bad.” And I’m just a dog trainer, so I don’t even know how much…

Apparently, from what I’ve heard via a prominent rescue society I follow, people have a harder time “reading” the face of a black cat. Like, they can’t connect to it and see its personality as well, or some shit.

Fuck, I forgot about that! He also thinks all Asian women are the same person - he can’t tell them apart.

Ugh. Don’t make it worse. Just cop to it.

Kinda sad that this turned into a Phelps bashing thread.

Right u get that 140 characters can be tough but this was not one of those cases. Also seriously with African American what? Person, woman, swimmer? He might have well said phelps shares night with a the blacks!

My cat is black so I’m totally not racist.

The “I’m not racist! I have black friends!” crowd.

Even in the reverse, it sounds like they had fantastic sex or something. I’d have gone with “Historic Night; Manuel, Phelps Win Gold!!!” Yeesh.

What is truly frightening is that these sexist and racist headlines and comments are not made to be intentionally malicious. Most people, even if they are internal scumbag bigots, will closet their demons for their professions. Nobody WANTS to be on the wrong end of these and having to make apologies and retractions.…

“Simone Manuel, Wins Gold, Shares Historic Night with Olympics Meme”

Olympics: Simone Manuel shares historic night with some white bro-dude pothead.

Olympics: Simone Manuel shares historic night with some white guy.

I was typing the same thing, but was afraid it would come across sarcastic. Mind blown for sure.

Seriously, this just blew my mind.

Holy shit - this is just a straight forward informative post explaining the answer to an interesting question. Well done.
