"Hi, this is Mississippi student .. unfortunately I made a few gestures that some consider to be racist"

The reaction to this incident is a classic example of selective outrage, where individuals or groups express strong emotions and condemnation towards certain people or events, while remaining silent or indifferent towards other similar or much worse events.

For example, if this involved three fat chicks of a different race or ethnicity, would it be garnering the same attention? I suspect not.

The media knows what it's doing when it feeds the desires of modern day tricoteuses who want to see lives destroyed.

You mean selective outrage of the people outraged by people reacting to some drunken retard?

And then the typical endless whatabouts..


What if it was this, what if it was that what... as opposed to just using one eye

Maybe you should take the time to read the history of racism in Mississippi.

Regardless of the offense (be it right or wrong), apologies get you absolutely nowhere -- often backfiring and making things worse. They are never accepted, and lead to apologizing for the apology.

The above is the correct move. You did it, just roll with it. (And maybe hire an attorney)

There are many examples of this. The latest one on my (gaming) radar it the "Burnt Peanut" incident. In short, a gaming company gifted this streamer all DLC for a certain game -- a game which is know to cater to the "diverse" crowd. Said crowd thinks Peanut is racist and crucified the company. Company took back DLC and apologized. Not accepted. Apologized again. Not accepted. Now both sides hate the company, and the game, and it is suffering massively because of it. They should have kept their mouths shut.

Especially when the apology is "I didn't do what you're accusing me of but I apologize for it". Amber thinks she's doing an Alford Plea.

Is it racist to act like a gorilla? No. Is it racist to see somebody acting like a gorilla and then deduce that they must be racist because gorillas and black people are so similar? Maybe.
