Ah, yes. Gotta love the "If you point out racism, that makes you the Real Racist!" "argument".

Side note: I actually have some conservative Republican friends who are IRL friends with this guy and even they are saying it's pretty fucked up. >_>

He doubled down by posting the same a similar thing with white kids to prove he isn't a racist. >_>

Oh sure use that as an example but never the countless other times he did that yo white rapists? >_>

Yes. Unfortunately racists on the net tend to only caption things in a way that can be interpreted as Ebonics when they want to be racist. Then hide behind youre the real racist! Like this guy. Its just like he dindu nuffin!...all the racists claim its just used to make fun of parents who are dumb its not racial!...curious that they only say it when the suspect in question is black. It cant always be that coincidental. You should be blaming the racists who do it, not the people who point it out.

Im gonna need this one explained to me. He's ignorant to think that's true but it doesn't come of blatantly racist to me, unless Im missing something. I only read the post and part of the article that sounded like gibberish.

Is it racist cause he's a lawmaker and he's too deep in the know to actually believe what he's saying? Cause if that counts then there's a long list of these guys.

Also, I don't know what that 4 Asterisk word was. Maybe that's it.

Oh, this is about the Ahmad Arbery case? Yeah then, he's definitely fighting hard for the old ways to stay in the present.

Nah i just used that as an example.

Like Vipey said, it's the ebonics usage and the perpetuating the stereotype of "poor blacks who need goverment handouts". That is racist.

I called him a racist because this is something he has done before (tone deaf memes relating to black people) and his frankly childish response to all of this.

But hey, its a picture of a black kid so I guess that makes it different, WHICH IF YOU THINK THAT WAY, IS THE VERY DEFINITION OF RACISM!!!!!!

He was so close to it then he says the second part


---

America should really screen for politicians who post like 4channers.

I didn't know this but apparently he's, unsurprisingly, made posts where he eventually had to apologize to domestic abuse organizations.

And I love how he says he doesn't see race but then later on says he admits to making a post about a black rapist. >_>
