“A typical street whore.” “A bunch of ghetto thugs.” “Ghetto street trash.” “Wonder when she will get her first abortion.”
I don’t see where these comments are racially charged. To be racially charged, one must assume that only black women can be street whores, that only black families can be ghetto thugs, and so on and so forth. We know that this is not the case.
” BTW, after reading those comments, my opinion is that, though I wouldn’t have posted those things, it’s a tempest in a teapot.”
I would have to agree with your assessment, much ado about nothing. Though the original comments were harsh in nature, they merely scrape away the patine of subtle gentility.
That’s why I was asking if there had been worse statements than those. It’s a stretch to conclude those are racist statements, even though they are harsh and counter-productive.
