    I don’t see how someone could do a racist rant and not be racist. That it is a rant is an important word here.

          I can (and have, many times) dropped a hard-r for comedic effect, even around my black friends, as they have the context to know that I’m not actually the kind of person to use that word normally

          If I was recorded and shared to the internet doing so free of context, I would be labelled as a racist shithead immediately and forever

            Is that the situation here? It is not.

            Everyone wanting to give the benefit of the doubt here gives racists room to exist.

          I think taking any random problem and putting blame on a group of people would be racist. I could spruce it up with the term “nipper” or “kike” and most people would find it racist

          I suppose you just don’t find anything racist if you can’t come up with it

            I supposed you just don’t find anything racist

            I am arguing the exact opposite.
