    Would he have mentioned a beeper if the recipient was a white Christian? It hasn’t lost any of it’s meaning it’s just that some people are incapable or unwilling to recognize it unless it’s backed by a nazi symbol, white hoods, or overt calls for racial violence. Your inability to recognize reality does not mean reality ceases to exist.

      Ofcourse not, but I don’t see how that implies racism.

        Ah, so if I go around saying that Japanese people ‘smell of raw fish BECAUSE they are Japanese AND eat dirty raw fish’, I am not being racist, even though I wouldn’t say that to a white person.

        How ‘contrarian’ of you, as in ‘contrary to not being ridiculous’.
