Hopefully, there is a black middle finger up emoji for him to use.

Unless he grovels first.

Funny, I’ve only seen one biker ever grovel, eventually.

If you could call what Lance Armstrong did groveling.

Who are the individuals in this organization that are persecuting this young man? They need to be clearly identified so that decent people can respond directly to them and hold them accountable.

I never understood black dems anger and condemning everybody and their racism EXCEPT THE DEM PARTY...... Must be when you are being given freebies by the dems, you allow them a LOT OF LEEWAY when it comes to racism..After all,if they get pissed,they will cut you off and you may have to go to work like white people.......

Soooo,everybody is racist,EXCEPT DEMS......( At least according to black activists)

“This is a form of blackface – a means of racist oppression used by extremist groups.”

Why on earth then is a black waving hand even selectable to type into a comment? Maybe they should look at their social media overlords for instigating racial tension....

That emoji looks like the palm side of a waving hand. If so, it must be a glove; the pigmentation is wrong for a human hand of any race.

"The use of a black emoji by a white person online has been equated with blackface"

They're kidding, right? Does this work both ways? If a black person uses a white emoji is that considered racist as well. Or is this another double standard? What if the emoji is just just deeply tanned? This is total bullshit.

This should cover all bases.

None of that Trek response made any sense.

I ride Wilier 100%.

Black letters in his Tweet were also used, on a white background. Racist!

Based on Trek’s bigots’ responses, it’s A-OK for leftists to call Trump supporters any vile names they want, and to congratulate themselves for doing so.
