Oh no!
Here come the consequences of being a stupid fuck and putting your racism on blast.
If you're spreading racist lies that are picked up and weaponised as a tool to stoke racist hatred in service of ending democracy to commit a series of genocides, you should fear for your safety - we call those consequences - morally good ones that benefit society at that.
This kind of stochastic terrorism should carry prison time.
She's sorry....she got caught.
That didn't happen.
And if it did, it wasn't that bad.
And if it was, that's not a big deal.
And if it is, that's not my fault. We are here.
And if it was, I didn't mean it.
And if I did, you deserved it.
Your family? The violent bigots aren't threatening you, a fellow bigot.
Idk, I think it’s probably just a really bad joke from a queer person of color. Doesn’t necessarily means she’s a bigot, just a little off
Read her comment. There were no jokes in it.
You can be a gay person of color and a bigot at the same time. It's pretty stupid, but it happens.
what in there indicates animosity?
Again, shit jokes are shit.
Everything in the article seems to point to an individual who was too comfortable making a shit joke about a community she had I graduated herself into
what in there indicates animosity?
The racism.
At no point in her excuses did she say she was joking. She said she is gay and a POC, that she is scared of the consequences of her actions, and that if she was Haitian she would be upset.
She actually never even says she was sorry, just weasel words like "it just exploded" and "this was not my intent" and "was never meant to be seen outside of Springfield."
She minimizes, back tracks and redirects blame, but never once says the words "I'm sorry" or "it was a joke that got out of hand."
Those are the actions of a bigot running away from consequences, not a person who made an earnest mistake and is remorseful.
It's well known that melanin inhibits hatred of other cultures.
Yes, that is totally my point. /s
Newton told Newsguard that Lee’s Facebook post misstated her story, and that the owner of the missing cat was “an acquaintance of a friend” rather than her daughter’s friend.
Lmao the neighbor who she supposedly heard it from said she heard it wrong, but not about the cat supposedly being eaten, but who the correct owner is.
How can this story not be true? I heard about it on facebook from someone who says she heard about it from her neighbour, who heard about it from her daughter, who heard about it from a friend.
This stranger's neighbour's daughter's friend saw Haitians carving up her cat with her own eyes.
Do people honestly have no ability to spot a bullshit rumor? She didn't even claim she saw it with her own eyes, or that she knows someone who saw it with their own eyes. She literally says it was a friend of a friend of a friend.
People will believe a bullshit rumour easily if it conforms to one of their preexisting biases.
Anyone who believes that Haitian immigrants are eating the neighbourhood cats is 90% likely to be straight up racist even if they don't think they are, or 10% likely that they are just dumb as bricks with no critical thought capabilities.
