“I’m not a racist,” she said
How DUMB can you be to post such hateful fingerpointing if you aren’t indeed racist?
The worst kind of racist.
“I’m not a racist, I just spread rumors that are based on racist ideology.”
Being dumb isn’t an excuse; it’s a prerequisite.
The only hope here is that this specific moment forced her to recognize her racism and she stops spreading it going forward. She’ll still be racist and she wakes to her own culpability
Do you remember that reddit moment after everybody and their mother was witchhunting the wrong Boston bomber and some people agreed to not let this happen again? The whole world needs this kind of moment.
You think this is the same thing?
Because I don’t see how this is witch-hunting by social media when this person came out and said she did it and really that doesn’t matter because it’s the right that ran with it. They cannot hell themselves from being overtly racist anymore. That’s not on this random internet women.
It’s kind of the same thing, yeah.
The main problem is posting, reposting and forwarding shit for likes. In this special case that persons might be unsanely racist. But I insist: Many people don’t want to think, what harm could result in this stupid behaviour.
What made it worse is, what the right DID with this thing and how the right KNEW how everybody would just believe this shit.
Yeah. Not the same thing.
Pointing the finger at someone who was not involved in anyway is something very very different.
This person literally got the ball rolling. They are not an uninvolved participating in the event.
Wanting to see it as similar is about you and leads me to believe you were at least a passive participant in the witch hunting of the bomber suspect. Perhaps not, but you are clearly over fitting that specific series of event to this current event for a reason that is personal to you.

Bro…
Whoa calm down. Both scenarios involve making unsubstantiated claims on the internet and it spreading around until people become convinced it’s real. They are similar.
Everyone should question things more before they post “something they heard” .
No. This person literally says they started it. It’s not the same because it’s not a false accusation. This is being reported by new outlets who verified their sources. It’s journalism not a witch hunt, it’s not my personal failing for not recognizing the vast difference here.
Springfield is a real place?
I knew homer was the one eating the cats all along.
MMMmmmmm… tabby…
I think its more like at least 5 real places
Much more than that.
the neighbor told Lee she thought the cat was the victim of an attack by her Haitian neighbors
Lemmy: RACIST BITCH!
OK, maybe she shouldn’t have casually repeated it, but put down the pitchforks, she didn’t make the accusation.
She also didn’t bother to question the absurdity of it.
She also had the choice to post it, without naming the country the blamed people where coming from (why should it matter anyway?).
She agreed with it enough to create a post about it and broadcast it to the entire Internet.

Just goes to show that, yes, stupid racist remarks can have a massive impact.
“I never meant to say a racist thing” says woman who said a racist thing.
She blew the racist dog whistle too hard
This lady made up the dog eating rumour because she wanted to deflect attention from her blowing a dog too hard.
It’s always deflect from what the conservatives are really doing.
Doesn’t even have to be that hard, you can throw a rock and hit a racist moron these days.
This needs a larger sample size, everybody start grabbing rocks.
She wanted to give everyone hugs I guess
The least realistic thing here is Trump running.
Bone spurs go brrrr
So it was tromp stealing the kittens all along. Hope they catch him.
Nah, he is saving them from being eaten by those black fucks. Big brain hero.
Just like your AI image, this entire concept is fabricated.
But you’re just an attention troll. So fuck off.
Wait Trump didn’t just make it up he actually saw this on Facebook?
It’s wild he is viable as a presidential candidate.
He’s either a potential world leader easily fooled by random people online OR one deliberately lying to incite racial violence.
I’m starting to feel like this says more about Ohioans than it does about Hatians
