I already knew that you were hispanic months ago. Again, what makes you think it was about you?
And no, I'm not letting this go because of how ridiculously obvious the intent of the comment is. You literally have to WANT to not get it to not get it, which does not surprise me remotely considering that all of you that came to this poster's defense are the ones who say that any of all accusations of racism are "playing the race card". Basically, "focus on the accuser, not the accused." Do you actually care whether or not the comment was racially motivated or not? You strike me as not caring.
The race card got played out in the NinetiesFlavor

Welp, that's your problem then. The race card will continue to be called out by people who recognize it as such, deal with it.

Congratulations, you recognized that I accused the poster of making a racist comment which is exactly what I said in my first post. Got anything else to add to that? I was right, you don't care at all whether the accusation has any merit... you're too blinded by brainwashing that all claims of racism are trumped up to have ever seriously considered that option in the first place.

Brainwashing, are you kidding me? I believe you have that backward. Just b/c someone mentions grape soda does not mean they are making a bad comment about black people, that is so utterly ridiculous.
And you need to go back and reread what I said, b/c you must have misunderstood. I said people will continue to call people like you out for playing the race card when there was no racism involved. Go back and see how many of us were laughing/calling you out that your assumption was even made to begin with. You don't have to believe me, the posts speak for themselves.
Now seriously, get off it b/c you're diverting the entire thread and ruining the conversation.

Actually, two others on this thread have recognized that the comment was indeed racist... including myself, that brings the believes its racist vs. believes it not tally to about 3 vs. 5. Not exactly the lopsided argument you're making it out to be.
And the bolded is exactly my point... you refuse to entertain the idea that the comment might actually be racist because you've been brainwashed to believe that accusations of racism are leftist anti-white dogma (as if the ony people accused of racism are white) as opposed to genuine accusations coming from people who just might know a racist remark when they see one.
One persons opinion does not make a fact. Prove that it was racist or move on.
Your opinion that it's not racist isn't a fact that it's not either. I've already made 3 pages worth of arguments for why the comment is likely racist... let's see your argument for why it's not. I won't hold my breath
My argument is simple. You are too sensitive. It is subjective whether or not the intent by the poster was for it to be racist. You will never be able to prove it so stop wasting your time on it.
Instead, spend some time engaging with people who don't link grape soda and racism

What an amazing argument. I got another simple one: You are too insensitive. You have no argument whatsoever, smh
