Completely blindsided! Who could have foreseen such things?
Strange, they all seemed like such nice bigots too
"Well I didn't think they would eat MY face!"
Mmm, crunch and gooey at the same time!
-A leopard, probably.
Leopards are your face, huh
Well, they're not MY face!!
Here we have the unstoppable force of "no one should ever be treated that way" meeting the immovable object of "lol fuckin turd deserves exactly what he gets"
On the one hand, yeah, this is a horrible thing to say to someone
On the other, if anyone ever reminded you of Stephen from Django Unchained... This guy's a pretty good candidate.
I never expected leopards to eat MY face!
I have as much sympathy with black trumpers as I do for the jews for hitler people.
Maybe just don't vote for the party that wants to take the country back to the 1850s.
A source with direct knowledge of the situation noted that Baxter was technically working for AFP as a contractor, and said AFP was not in fact his direct employer.
Here we go. “Justice” will be elusive, time consuming, expensive, and ultimately unfulfilling.
I hope he wakes up and realizes what kind of people he’s been supporting, and doesn’t just shrug it off as an isolated problem with this one particular organization. I won’t hold my breath.
Yes that’s unsurprising and yes he’s probably a bad person, but also I feel the need to say that’s a really shitty thing to do to him. Even shitty people deserve to not be targeted by racist remarks.
Perhaps he will realize that his entire organization is filled with shitty people... nah
Kind of but let’s say:
Someone offered you to fight a bear for $5k.
He assures you the bear is safe.
People around you tell you it’s not, and don’t be an idiot.
Is it your fault if you chose to take the con man’s offer and fight the bear or the con man’s fault?
I started thinking about this after the titanic submarine disaster. Like, how is that not like a Darwin Award?
The difference is that racists are not bears. They’re people behaving poorly. I think this is better compared to a thief getting robbed by his partner in crime. Is he a fool? Yes. Is he a bad person? Yes. Can I blame his partner in crime for this? Also yes. In both cases it’s an idiot and a bad person walking into a position that another person behaved poorly towards them.

Too many people mistake politeness for someone being nice
And this guy is in Florida, so he should have realized that "polite" is often Southern for "go fuck yourself."

Tip: They most likely called him the N-word while he was out canvassing for them. Rascist are like that.

Seeing someone that dark in a maga hat almost looks like blackface
But obviously he is one of the "good ones".

Find/replace N_____ > slave
But it's way more impactful with the original wording. I always just link it because I feel that should be people's first exposure to the speech.
Perhaps it depends on the audience. It was quite difficult for me to read before I mentally made the replacement, and I don't think I would have gotten nearly as much from it without.
It was quite difficult for me to read before I mentally made the replacement,
Why?
Is it because the slur applies to you and makes you uncomfortable? That's fair enough.
Or is it because it is a slur that was and is used by people like you, and having to face it makes you uncomfortable? In which case by prioritising your own feelings over acknowledging history and hearing Malcolm X's words as he intended them, you are contributing to the erasure of his experience and that of those like him, and this is something for you to work on within yourself, not project on to the text by changing it.

And now he is suing for discrimination, probably taking advantage of legislation passed by democrats
Yeah, "racial discrimination lawsuit" sounds like a bunch of woke Democrat talk to me.
Seriously, I do hope he wins some money off of those assholes, but I hope even more that this was a wakeup call for him about the sort of people he was affiliating with, and the sort of views he has been supporting.
Who would have thought the leopards would eat MY face!
Nobody had the heart to tell him... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLNDqxrUUwQ
Wow, that was really something…
He never thought the leopards would eat his face!
That’s what I was thinking. Such a handsome guy, surely not THAT face!
I don't think this dude has a very good brain. I hope he wins anyway.
I’m sure they followed with, “But you’re one of the good ones…”
It's funny, I almost made a similar comment but decided not to because I was worried it sounded too racist. Had typed out and discarded
"They usually tell me real nice things like "I'm one of the good ones "
-that guy probably
What did he expect?
Who could've predicted that fascists would act like such Nazis?
He faced the racism other black people did basically.
What did you expect Uncle Tom? Are you really shocked the face eating leopard party had leopards that ate your face?
