that poster will create a thread about how a gang of blacks terrorized him for his free speech. And of course "I didn't even do anything" will be in there somewhere.
He's playing dumb, but believe me, he ain't THAT dumb. He knows better.
Play games if you want to, but just go ahead and do like I suggested. Go find a black woman and call her Aunt Jemima in front of her husband, boyfriend, or any other male relatives or friends. Give it a shot. See how it goes for ya.
Bet you won't be calling anyone else out of their name again.
Why? What do you think will happen? Do you really think that black people cannot resolve issues without violence? Very sad.
Why is it racist to say "Hi Aunt Jemima" to a black lady who looks like A.J., but it's perfectly fine to say "hi Steve Martin" to a white guy who looks like S.M.?
Racism in 2017 is basically just "you are saying something slightly impolite to a non-white person".
OMG, don't you work in the school system??? Haven't they taught you anything about cultural sensitivity?
Here, let me explain it in a very simple way to you: Steve Martin is an actual person. Aunt Jemima is a racist stereotype.

I'm imagining J.Z.'s reaction to someone calling his wife Aunt Jemima.
I Googled Aunt Jemima's history and yes she's based on racist stereotypes however I found that three actual women played her in advertisements up until the 1960s. The first woman was a former slave.
Fascinating stuff.
I also stumbled upon the history of Mrs. Buttersworth. Seems like nobody knows her true race. We should debate that tomorrow along with what exactly Captain Crunch is a captain of.
