ty taz.

Dear Mary Ratliff, Prez of MO NAACP.

You are an ignorant bitch. If no crime is committed, it cannot be a hate crime.

The bottom line is, if it were a white male at the helm there would be no complaints. Call it what it is. Racists who cannot stand to see a black man in office. A diseased mindset.



I don't like him in office because he's stupid.

Sure. The man graduated from Columbia, got a law degree from Harvard and taught law at the University of Chicago but he's stupid. You're sheet is showing from under your "moderate independent" again.

The only thing is worse is entertainers who decide to go into the public service industry.

It's also possible the lady believes it was a hate crime.
Believing something is true doesn't make it true anymore
than not believing in something makes it untrue.

There aren't going to be any federal charges. It wasn't a
hate crime. I don't think or seriously doubt that the clown
acted with deliberate conscience malice. But that doesn't mean that
people who are disturbed by this story don't have anything
to be disturbed about. If there are people who were unsettled
by the performance and the reaction of the crowd I don't think
it's to great a burden to keep an open mind to why that might be

This story can be dismissed as much ado about very little.
And obviously partisan bandwagon jumping(of either stripe)
and the noise on television isn't helping anything. It was,
(cue the voice of Rod Serling) An Incident in a Small Town.
When these cluster fucks break out a little what if the shoe
was on the other foot reflecting isn't a bad thing.

Every word is true.
You must understand though that just because someone sees a motive in something doesn't mean it was the motive, just that they see it.
