Really, **chicagowhitesox1173** , you should’ve learned the first time. This wasn’t that long ago:

> Well yeah, I agree. I admit, I’ve profiled black people without knowing them and the ones I’ve done this with have actually turned out to be great guys. If I ever became a racist like these guys at the site Stormfront, then I would want to jump off a bridge. Those people are sickening. That’s why I don’t think Sterling is getting a fair shake. I mean, I know what he said was wrong but I think he’s racist like how maybe I would be racist. Say if I had a daughter and she bought a black guy home, I don’t think I would be too thrilled and I think that’s kinda how Sterling is.

> I am the daughter who brought the black guy home, then married him. From where I stand, you and he are getting a perfectly fair shake.

> Well I’m sure your dad wasn’t to thrilled, so is he a racist? I mean cmon I’m not trying to start a fight here. I’m trying to be honest here.

> Ok well I apologize if I offended you. Sorry about your father and I’m glad your family is happy with your marriage.
