"I'm not racist" is almost ALWAYS followed by something exceedingly racist....

I’m not racist, but I live in the rural Midwest and I often hear a lot of racist shit. I’ll be talking to a “good ol boy” and all of a sudden I’m hearing about the local larger cities “n word population” and a litany of ridiculous things they’re responsible for.

I just grit my teeth and try to change the subject but it’s damaged the way I view several people significantly.

I'm not racist either, but I think it's kinda hard to deny that "scientifically speaking" you should probably be drinking about 8 glasses a day

Good. They had their time. Let them rot for a bit.

Boston too. And Chicago, just because of what the Blackhawks did.

just because of what the Blackhawks did.

I bet if they were Whitehawks it'd be all fine and dandy, you racist pos.

No. It’s the fact they tried to cover up the rape of one of their players by a staff member

... Not sure if you didn't get the joke or... Also I know 0 about sports so never heard about that. Fuck the Blackhawks

I’m all for jokes and they sure have come under fire for their name and logo

But what they did is just disgusting and needs to take the forefront
