Does anyone make a distinction between a person issuing a racist comment vs a racist. Or are they one and the same?


So if a person says, oopherectomy, does that make them a doctor?


customer was labeled 'racist' in the title, based on comment.


If a person uses a gang sign, does that mean they belong to a gang and hold the values of a gang?


I guess so.

That would be up to Walmart. It's there business. It may or may not be in their employee handbook

He doesn't care that they saw his face. A guy like this doesn't care what people think.

Apparently. You dont even have to utter a comment to be a racist.

Um.... well I mean I think in the context of the situation and words being uttered in this case, the two go together.

The guy wasn't having an academic discussion on racially charged words or thoughts. He was expressing them.

Did he know she was recording?

I read a few articles and couldn't get that info.

Anyway, from what I've gathered it looks like an old fashion case of a racist douchebag. Not much more.

I guess it could have been worse. Usually Walmart YouTube videos are full of really out of control racists of all colors. This guy was a pretty calm racist LOL.

Style points!

Sure, there is probably video, but NOT audio!

You guess so?

The guy goes to the trouble of singling out people by their RACE to vilify in a public place and you think there's a distinction to be made between him making a racist comment and actually being a racist?

Okie dokie.

At least you didn't blame Soros for the incident. If nothing else, Trumpers stick together through think and thin.
What are you talking about? Bad behaviour and jumping to conclusions, etc. are not condoned at all by most people, regardless of their politics (I HOPE).


But speaking of that .. as I said .. jumping to conclusions .. umm you did. Should I condone that?
