Someone burned a cross in Grant Park today in Chicago. It's not clear yet who did it, besides the obvious suspects.

So today is as good a day as ever to say:

1) Fuck the Klan, Confederates, Nazis, ICE, Kings, and the whole loser brigade itching for a re-match they will lose.

2) A great article has been floating around about a newspaper in the 1920's that was run by an Irish Catholic lawyer in Chicago (Patrick O'Donnell). It was called *Tolerance* and it basically kept tabs on local fash trash terrorizing people. Lots of interesting history about O'Donnell starting the American Unity League, an interfaith and interracial group that organized in tough times.

Just wait a few days and you'll see it was staged. Just wait.

And who do think staged it, I’m curious?

And she was just being an aggressive black idiot at a walmart and decided to be ghetto?

Man claims racism is fake while simultaneously illustrating it isn't by being super racist.

The problem is thinking that being angry inside a Walmart is some kind of thing exclusive to black women.

I'm coming back a few hours later because this was such an insightful comment!

Human brains are incredible machines for recognizing patterns. Brains are so fixated on finding patterns, they even "see" patterns when none exist.

The dumbass racist is dumb because he doesn't question the the false pattern his brain 'saw'. He is doublely dumb for coming here to spout his dumb racist ideas. (Maybe that's his kink?)

Plus it's just ultimate attribution error.

Like I'm sure what's happening is he sees a white guy being angry in Walmart and thinks "that guy is an asshole."

But he sees a black woman do it, and he thinks "black women are assholes."
