Of course racism doesn’t “make sense” in general, but I’m really confused about the outpouring of racism in response to this harbor accident which had absolutely nothing to do with the Mayor of Baltimore.
@mattyglesias Black dude put in a position that he is not qualified for = DEI.
@mattyglesias Since twitter is now the new home of racism = allowed and encouraged, everyone is just wearing on their sleeve. It’s pretty much the only thing that gets engagement around here now
@mattyglesias You answered your own question. Racism is not based in logic.
@mattyglesias Just block and carry on
@mattyglesias All of these people are bigots. They don’t need a reason, they just need a black man to blame
@mattyglesias It’s not like he was behind the wheel!
@mattyglesias You’ll be shocked to hear what they say about white people these days. Far worse than this tweet. And with no consequence.
@mattyglesias Racism doesn’t need a reason. There never is a reason.
@mattyglesias Agreed, but to be fair, almost all the outrage I've seen has mentioned this same particular tweet.
