Liberals crying "racism" at everything has pretty much killed any impact or meaning that word has.
1) This topic has nothing to do with "crying racism at everything." Again, it is observing a woman's racist behavior and calling it what it is. 2) This topic isn't "people making a scene over nothing again." The woman is the one making a scene by going on a racist rant and assaulting someone.

Then, the same liberal sources claim "look, no one cares about racism anymore".
3) No one is claiming that "no one cares about raicsm any more" in this topic. The woman was arrested and charged.

Finally, people like this woman hear this, and think "oh look, it's fine to be racist now".
People have thought it was "fine to be racist" in this country for centuries. You can try to pretend it's some new phenomenon, but the only "new" thing here is that smartphones with cameras are incredibly ubiquitous. The ability to upload videos for the world to see with a couple taps has given people an easy way to show what is happening around them.
Stuff like this has been happening for ages. We're just seeing it more because of smartphones and people wanting to record everything with them now.

Which you know damn well is what I was getting at,
I know exactly what you're getting at. I just wanted you to spell it out so I can break down why you're incorrect. I say "racist people are getting bold these days" because racist people used to hide their faces behind hoods and sheets and shit. If they didn't hide their faces, it was because they knew they could get away with it. Now they just do it out in the open even with people recording them.
And I answered exactly why that's the case. You can't ask "why are racists so bold these days" then cry "that's not relevant, this is about one specific case" when someone explains the general trends that lead to the situation you're asking about. The fact that the answer is highly unfavorable to your political views doesn't change that.
See, if those people didn't want to be called n-words then maybe the mean old liherals shouldn't have been making a fuss when people go out and make racist rants on public transportation. ---
