…of course you have.

There are 350 million people in the USA. 250 million are white, 44 million are black, 1 million are cops, and these cops get about 270 million calls a year. The law of large numbers guarantees that some of those calls will be made by crazy, paranoid white people about black people. But it also guarantees that some of those calls will be made by crazy, paranoid white peoples about other white people. But “Crazy white guy calls cops on other white guy” isn’t exactly news. So you don’t get to hear about it.

Its not racist in the using the “zero-tolerance” methodology. It is racist using the real world methodology. You dismiss the experiences and the words of black people. You don’t fucking care. Jeong has done more to fight for the rights of the marginalized than you will ever fucking do. And when push comes to shove, when I’ve got to make a choice of being on your side or being on hers I’m going to choose her side every single fucking time. And if that makes me a “racist” then so be it.

And fuck you right back.

You do realise that what you’re effectively saying is _“I’m honoured to be as racist as a racist”_, right? So either you don’t think I’m a racist and your previous post was just one big brain fart, or you’ve just spectacularly owned yourself.

Because to be called a racist by a racist means I’ve leveled up!

Fuck off you stupid piece of shit.

And as I’ve told you if that’s the case then I will wear the badge “racist” as a badge of honor.
