“I never meant to say a racist thing” says woman who said a racist thing.

“[…]again, that’s not what I was trying to do.”

Ok so what were you trying to do when you posted this nonsense?

Doesn’t even have to be that hard, you can throw a rock and hit a racist moron these days.

This lady made up the dog eating rumour because she wanted to deflect attention from her blowing a dog too hard.

It’s always deflect from what the conservatives are really doing.

“I’m not a racist,” she said

How DUMB can you be to post such hateful fingerpointing if you aren’t indeed racist?

The worst kind of racist.

“I’m not a racist, I just spread rumors that are based on racist ideology.”

Being dumb isn’t an excuse; it’s a prerequisite.

The only hope here is that this specific moment forced her to recognize her racism and she stops spreading it going forward. She’ll still be racist and she wakes to her own culpability

Do you remember that reddit moment after everybody and their mother was witchhunting the wrong Boston bomber and some people agreed to not let this happen again? The whole world needs this kind of moment.

You think this is the same thing?

Because I don’t see how this is witch-hunting by social media when this person came out and said she did it and really that doesn’t matter because it’s the right that ran with it. They cannot hell themselves from being overtly racist anymore. That’s not on this random internet women.

Just goes to show that, yes, stupid racist remarks can have a massive impact.
