Society lets you go from an asshole to "truther" with one word

What would that article be, exactley? What would it look like? What's the headline?

 

"8 black people say something shitty about white people over gorilla incident:"? It isn't news worthy. Those are just 8 random people being shitty on Twitter.

 

Oh, and to avoid any confusion going forward....No, talking about people getting death threats is not the same.

Exactly the point. If it was 8 white people talking shit about a black person it would warrant a 6000 words essay on every magazine about how much prejudice there is in our society and how all white people are racist.

Back to the point of the congressmen... there were a lot of cases in recent past about a left wing saying racist, machist jokes with no repercussion, but if someone that isn't left wing done 1/10 of the joke they would parade against the person. Please don't pretend to be blind.

No, it wouldn't. These are random people on Twitter. Look at the comments on the article about that kids parents being black, or on that Chinese detergent commercial. We're there articles written about the racist things said there? No.

 

There are likely thousands of racist tweets every day about and by all kinds of people.  They do not merit comment.
