That's that same person who thinks there is no way they are racist because they are not in the KKK. I practically grew up in a sea of those microaggressive, self-congratulating people.

This is barely even "casual" racism. He outright calls them monkeys. I legitimately think you could post a story about the KKK burning a cross in someone's yard and people would comment "well maybe they just want him to know about Jesus".
"A lot of fuss about nothing."
Not nearly as bad as this guy's comments:
Especially when you know that an overwhelming majority of your fellow citizens see those microaggressions as NBD/proof of your undying need to be offended (because who doesn't love humiliation in one's place of work by and before one's coworkers?) and/or puuuuure fantasy.
My mom's cousin tried that crap with me on facebook over the Sterling incident. Did not believe that it is perfectly legal for a private conversation to be recorded so long as the recording is being done by a direct participant in the conversation. He kept trying to talk me down by saying I just follow the liberal…
Yeah it's actually racist tropes that started around the founding of the country and were accepted by many places in this country well into the 60s (and are, as evinced by this story, still prevalent). He's got many bases covered - white supremacy, Jim Crow, lynching, all on the backdrop of a cotton plantation. I'm…
I read the comment section on the Channel 3 news site and unsurprisingly there was one person who said the race card is pulled "too often" when there isn't "true racism" and that this was a case of true racism. I'm guessing that person is a. white and b. dismisses casual racism and microaggressions as harmful.
Cue random white boys from Gawker saying: "But...it was a PRIVATE conversation. How sneaky of him to record the racist hatred he was experiencing."
A black worker at a cotton gin in Tennessee was so fed up with a racist boss, he used his phone to record proof of…
Apparently, she didn't just sustain vaginal injuries. Word has it that the rapists raped her so violently she had to have a hysterectomy. Sickeningly, that would explain why a small conservative town would rally behind the victim the way they have. It would seem that this is the level of violence a woman has to…
35 year old can still go to high school?
I appreciate your sentiment, but, you do know it was common "reward" for warriors/soldiers to rape the women of the conquered?
I would like to share this blog entry that was written after the Steubenville assault.
So awful. When people tell me that rape culture doesn't exist, or teaching boys about consent isn't important, I think about how common gang rapes are. These guys all made the same horrific decision - committed a horrific act - together. They supported each other. They all come from a mentality of "this is an ok thing…
If your attorney wants to post something about you on Facebook hire another attorney. That's about the most unprofessional (and possibly a violation of professional responsibility standards) thing I've ever seen!
Star athletes from a powerhouse high school athletic program. A sexual assault that occurred in the middle of a…
I loved it when my managers would inform an awful table that no, the customer is not always right, and to never come back again. Then when the table would counter that they would tell everyone they knew what happened, my favorite manager would reply, "Please do. If they are anything like you, we don't want them…
I worked for several years as a barista at Starbucks. Once during a major, major rush a man skipped the line and register and came right up to me at the end of the bar where I was making drinks and tells me his tale. Apparently he had been in the day before and had gotten frappuccinos for himself and his wife and…
