he isnt sensitive. everyone else is!
The modern world, it's such a trial.
he isnt sensitive. everyone else is!
Damn can't people just get rid of their excess rope? Nothing racist to see here. You people are too sensitive.

This happened around here, although it didn't..

And there are plenty of examples of stuff like this being "found" but turns out it was the person offended that put it up.

And there's more. I'm not saying there's not racism and terrible stuff out there but keep in mind there are people more than willing to fabricate a story for one reason or another as well.
In those instances there was no victim. Should we not have skepticism?
you pointed out those instances to infer that in this instance that is also possible.In those instances there was no victim. Should we not have skepticism?
Yes, it's possible the nooses in the article I quoted are a hoax.
oh does this mean I am off your list? wtf happened?
Please, how can I get back on your list of the Uncomfortably Informed and Educated?
More benign banana tossing I guess. They were just getting rid of excess fruit. Because when I want to throw something out and don't have a trash can first thought, throw it in the air, maybe land it in a tree. Maybe throw it on a sports field.

Hey, who just threw a banana peel? Hey, would you guys like to see your favorite comedian beat the shit out of somebody?
First of all, I am not going to let White people ruin bananas for me *^&%&%*& they’re a good source of potassium. And I know my man– I see Corey just jumped off the stage. Corey is one of my Black friends from Harlem. Corey when you find that muthafucka, do not throw him out, bring him to me. First, I’m going to kill him with my comedy and then I’m going to kick him in his fucking face.
I can’t believe not only that someone threw a banana on stage; I can’t believe that they had a banana on them, this entire time. And he thought, ‘I’ll just throw the peel at Dave Chappelle.’ He knows I’m going to be mad. ‘Je’ suis Charlie.’ That’s what he said when he threw the banana peel. ‘Je suis Charlie Ni**er. What a guy can’t draw a cartoon?’ …What a bitch.”
i see your troll bot is working overtime again."Rape doesn't happen either, it's all made up." --same conservatives
It happens, nobody is disagreeing with that. There are definitely racist douchebags out there. Likewise there are douchebags that love to play victim and fabricate these things for who knows what reasons. It might be worth noting that three out of the four examples you gave occurred in Europe.

Just look at how hard your colleagues are trying to pretend that racism is fake. Same as they did in the rape related thread here. Also worth mentioning that fellow conservatives like @realibrad or @Starbuck1975 will never speak negatively of this behavior by their peers.
Degens gonna degen.
Who said that it doesn't happen? I think everyone here agrees racist shit happens. Do you agree that people sometimes make up these things?
I think also that people are fanning the flames of racism for one reason or another. Things like in the OP and the links I posted above do nothing but set race relations back and undermine real issues when they occur.
I can't speak for the users you listed nor do I consider myself a conservative, but to me racism certainly occurs and there are plenty of people that do/say racist things.

Is it valid to wholesale dismiss actual cases of racism and people's instant reactions to such cases, simply because some of these are hoaxes?
