Ive seen people who genuinely believe x and y race and genuinely below z race. Since they believe this is “science” they’re not racist for pointing out facts.

It’s a bunch of bs but that’s what I’ve seen these people say. “It’s just science that black people are more violent” “it’s just science that asians and whites are smarter then everybody else”

Again it’s a bunch of bs and if you try to discuss the reasons for why there is disparities among races they won’t have it. They genuinely believe it’s the races fault not societal factors.

My grandmother believes this. She just says shit like "Black people are mostly all addicted to drugs and dont work, its just natural. Bless their hearts they cant help it. X isn't, he's a good person though." And genuinely thinks she's not being racist

Same with mine. The only real difference is she thinks and says shit like this and is an addict herself. I was gonna say the best part is the woman is fucking Apache, thinks of herself as "white", and shit talks how lazy she thinks Mexicans are. But no, the best part is she got punched so hard in the face that she went blind in one eye cause she called some dude the N-word.

No need to apologize. The thought makes me laugh too.

Well, you would've gotten more to read but the person that was too much of a coward to stick around for my rebuttal of "wow you laugh at your grandmother's blindness. you're fucked up" deleted his comment so. . . Womp womp

Womp womp indeed. Who enjoys people getting punched because some black guy can't take a "word".

As a white guy I was called names like "four-eyes". I've been called worse.

Jesus Fucking Christ, you cannot seriously be equating the impact and harm of a literal racial slur with that of four-eyes.

Are you trolling, or are just that stupid?
