    Given poster said nothing about race or skin color, you’re taking any effect out of the word racist. This helps real racists ignore real things and others look past it.

      And the person you replied to never said what they said was racist, just that they were mouthing off like a racist piece of shit.

      Of course, we all know that they were calling them a racist piece of shit. Kind of like how we all know the other poster was being a racist piece of shit because they were saying the same racist shit about Detroit that racist shit bags always say about Detroit.

      You don’t have to try to cover for obvious racist dog whistles.

        I never said they said anything for your first part to make any sense.

        The replies and downvotes just further why no one takes this shit seriously and devalues words that should be impactful.

          Wah wah, you’re crying because no one was persuaded by your attempt to cover for racist bullshit.

          If the OP didn’t say anything racist, then the person you replied to also never called them racist, technically. Or, if you think they did, then it was by implication. Just like the original racism! Which means you can understand it!

          no one takes this shit seriously

          Yeah they do. Are you trying to make yourself feel better by normalizing a passive level of racism?

              Oh, I feel fine, thanks for caring though. I’m just uninterested in catering to your notion that we need to ignore all context to the words people use or else the racists might not take something seriously.

      “low iq behavior” applied to a group of people like that is a common and blatant racist dogwhistle.
