If a White person said the same thing, most everyone would claim that person was racist. It's no no big deal to you because she was Black.

Translation: that poster and their friends say racist things about other races but think they have a free pass to do so because of their ethnicity.
They then make excuses as to why they aren't racist but you can bet next time they are hanging out and the comments start flying, deep down there will be a twinge of conscience...or at least I hope so.

So let's say that tour bus was driving through a black part of town with an non-block tour guide at the helm. And she start spouting off over the microphone " Eff these black people and their chitlins! We don't eat that here! Eff their traffic with their low riders and spinners! Eff their loud music! This is a crappy part of town don't live here!" etc etc, that wouldn't be racist?!

Racist Chinatown Tour Guide Speaks!: SFist

Either way: what a moron.
Or Democrat politicians like Harry Reid and Joe Biden?

Why was it her last day on the job? Was she drinking on the job often or was she ranting often? How come the reporter didn't find out?

I haven't heard a racist rant like that since that one one on MSNBC some months back. Maybe it was a few weeks ago.

I think what the woman said was incredibly offensive and rude.

Why this one woman's rant has to become a partisan issue is rather confusing. She is not running for office or posting the rant online for the world. I assume she didn't know it was filmed.

To me, it was one woman who, on the last day of her job, decided to voice whatever she felt about doing a job she apparently hates. She is not representing SF, she is not representing blacks in general, she is only representing herself--badly. It sounds similar to the woman who quit her tv weather job by saying F**k it--I quit--on a live broadcast.

It is not even newsworthy.
