Not at all actually.

In the not too distant past here we had some racist posters that were constantly starting threads about black youths getting into fights at malls, attacking white people on trains or wilding, polar bear hunting etc.

They were clearly trying to carve out a perception and narrative by picking examples from the actions of 300+ million Americans to portray blacks negatively.

We're now seeing much of the same thing both in this forum and even in the media in general where the bad racist actions of a white person are posted pretty much daily around here with the clear attempt to bootstrap those actions as representative of a larger group.

We're not talking about big news stories like someone killing people but even just drunken social media rants and arguments with a nail parlor worker where racist stuff gets thrown in.

Just pointing out the same tactic that has been used before by some stormfronters.

That said, why do so many of your threads start with a piece from Yahoo Lifestyle?
A better question would be why would a nail salon argument peppered with some racial comments merit elevation to a national news story over other stories.

This is a story that their readers WANT to read to comfort their us vs. them views, just like if you go over to Breitbart you'll likely see a story about illegals committing crimes.

I've heard blacks complaining about Latino illegals ("Why don't they learn English?") and Asian shop owners complaining about blacks shoplifting or being lazy so they only hire Latinos, a Thai friend went to Georgia and said she worried about her safety because "There were so many black people!"

There are racists in every race and even within races, i.e. light skinned blacks discriminate against darker skinned ones, a Mexican friend went to Honduras and found out they hate Mexicans, Mexicans consider Guatemalans inferior, a Chinese friend called Koreans "potato faces."

The current Loony Left narrative is only whites are racist.

In my opinion it is more about class. If you have enough financial resources, no one can threaten your security so you don't care what other people do.

Right, it's sooo unfair to post articles showing the perpetrator of racist acts as white, as if it's some sort of agenda on this forum.

I wonder if some of these same people have an issue with articles highlighting black racism against whites on here. Notice in my threads I never go out of my way to highlight the perpetrator of these acts. I could care less whether they are white, black, Asian, whatever, they are all fools that need to be exposed. I don't go out of my way to find these articles, I just see what is posted on the Yahoo site and this story was posted on the main news feed.

Also, how convenient that people on here forget that I've also posted articles on here such as that white high school student that was 'shamed' on social media for 'cultural appropriation,' for wearing a red Chinese dress to her high school prom. I defended her.

Nothing racist there. I wish people would look up the definition of racism and use it correctly. We are a nation of dummies.

Could be, or she could have some sort of personality disorder. People insult each other everyday, not sure why this is news. It's certainly not nice, but sometimes people are just flawed, that's life.

If every tirade was posted on social media, nothing else would ever get through.

So, some lady went off on an Asian lady and called her names.

And?

Now what.
Right. And if this crazy woman were black, you’d still be this insouciant about it?

Yeah, that drug is called Donald Trump.

It’s no coincidence that you’re seeing more incidents like this. It’s gonna keep happening until someone is made made an example of what happens when you shoot off your mouth with slick talking.

All these greasy mouthed Trump supporters are really feeling themselves.
