Wow, just wow. I thought today's racists were a bit more discreet. This is shocking.

I hate people.

[arthritisR_US]

1. As a white woman, they make me ashamed ...

[Skittles]

28. they don't represent us

they represent racists

[arthritisR_US]

38. Good point, the only thing we share with them

is pigmentation and that is the least significant thing! But they sure do make me sick

[Skittles]

40. ever had them assume your're racist too?

I've had a few like that....I let them fucking have it

[arthritisR_US]

43. I do the same. I have zero tolerance for their

crap and zero patience. Some of the emails I have received in the past years have had me seeing red!

[Skittles]

44. oh gawd, the emails

I like to REPLY TO ALL and embarrass them severely

[arthritisR_US]

47. I wish I had more time to be able to do that.

I end up selecting the most egregious and letting them have it. I still can't figure out when the stupidity set in for them or if they had always been that way and I was just too blind to see it

[Skittles]

52. I think the anonymity of the internet has made them bolder

they forget in real life many of us do not lived in their narrow little hate-filled right-wing hysteria land

[arthritisR_US]

55. What I find astounding is that they cling to their

beliefs even when given facts that refute them

[Lint Head]

2. This is sad.

[NRaleighLiberal]

3. something is going seriously wrong in this country. Bad to just horribly worse.

[bayareamike]

4. Jesus Christ.

All of the diehard Niners fans in my house proudly turned off the game to listen to that beautiful speech by the President. These people are animals.

[Little Star]

5. Those are some nice football fans. Their favorite team should be proud of them....

Nasty racist asses.

[undeterred]

6. Football worshippers.

[Marrah_G]

7. Almost all of those were young men

Probably close to the same age as the shooter.

We have a generation there with far to many young people without the capacity to see beyond their own immediate desires and lacking the capacity to feel compassion for others.

I know we also have many wonderful young people, but I think if we are honest with ourselves, we have to admit, there is something very broken in our society.

[malaise]

14. And in many instances they have been spoiled rotten by their parents n/t

[lbrtbell]

23. I first saw this kind of thing with the Boomers

We've been going downhill ever since.

The young people may be the ones posting this crap on Twitter, but believe me--the older ones were saying the same thing in their own homes, between guzzling beer and belching loudly.

Notice the selective racism, though? They have nothing against watching black football players, but a black Democrat? ZOMG!!1!!

[Smarmie Doofus]

27. That's a paradox. Obama did substantially *better* among the youngest voters than....

..... in any other demographic.

[JI7]

56. he actually lost among young white voters

[Smarmie Doofus]

57. You're right. I should have said "age demographic." n/t

[Historic NY]

8. Amazing...

[Terra Alta]

9. this is so disgusting!

It's almost 2013 and racism is still alive and well in this country... sad!!!

Anyone else see the irony in them calling Obama the n-word, while many football players are black??

[Berserker]

10. These are the

fuckers that should have NO guns. This is the America that no one wants to talk about.

[GitRDun]

54. +1

[mark eagledove]

11. so they can watch their favorite black athletes?

these people are insane scum

[bayareamike]

13. That logic is surely lost on these idiots. nt

[msanthrope]

12. The wrong damn people died Friday. nt

[Atticus]

15. There are some who believe we should "engage in respectful dialogue" with these

enlightened citizens. I've been up close enought to smell their breath and they make the hair stand up on the back of my neck. I will avoid them if possible, but I will not treat them as good-faith players.

[Skittles]

33. ever have them assume you're as racist as them?

gawd how I love slamming those slimy, racist fucks

[hatrack]

16. It is "discrete" in that they don't have to wear a sheet or stand on a streetcorner

They're "anonymous", y'know - the intertubez offer total safety for their . . . . "thoughts".

[Warpy]

17. Bigots and bullies love to hide behind the anonymity of the web

and who ever posted that bit of vomit is likely both.

In real life, I'm sure he only attacks people he knows can't fight back.

[Heather MC]

18. I am black I have never experenced Discreet Racism, it's always been pretty Overt in my experience

I am not sure why anyone is shocked by this. Racism will never go away as long as there are "differences" between people and ignorance racism will thrive like mold on cheese.

Don't be mad just be thankful that person isn't a friend of yours

[madaboutharry]

19. Thank you for posting.

[Ed Suspicious]

21. I guess I thought we were successful as a people in attaching a significant amount of

shame to racism that the modern day racists might be a bit less brazen. I thought perhaps that over time, having racism pushed out of sight would effectively help to eliminate racism. That's where I was coming from. Thank you for posting indeed.

[Heather MC]

39. I hope i didn't come off as being insulting

I just don't get offended everytime i hear the N-word being tossed around because i know it's a negative reflection against the user of the word. Our President is not a n--ger it doesn't matter how many times they say it. it will never make it true.

[TDale313]

51. I wish I could say I was

Surprised or shocked by this. Disgusted, but no, not surprised.

[WorseBeforeBetter]

20. It makes me lose faith in my fellow man,

but then:

United States







Brazil



Pakistan

[Care Acutely]

48. OMG. That last image is so beautiful and sad.

Cried all over again.

[Arcanetrance]

22. Sick they announced they would broadcast th game during the speech on both cnbc and nbc sports

[nc4bo]

34. I believe there were notices during the game that said exactly that. Reading & reading comprehension

is not one of their strengths, obviously.

Pathetic that he felt the need to publicly display his ignorance as did his "special" friends and cohorts not to mention the lack of empathy and sympathy.

[Nika]

24. That is horrible

The ignorance and pointless hatred expressed so blatantly make me very sad indeed.

[spanone]

25. how brave, on an anonymous internet reply board. real brave racists.....s

less than human.

fuck them one and all.

[elfin]

26. This is just a glimmer of what the Secret Service deals with 24/7

It also reminds us of the daily courage of our Pres. to do the job in that climate.

[Protalker]

29. The Republican Southern Strategy

Haters

[Skittles]

30. just like gun cowards, look how many flee the scene when they are outed

[jsr]

31. Gotta love the mouthbreathing meth-addled trash

[WCGreen]

32. These people are so stupid...

It was the network that decided to pre-empt, not the POA.

[OhioChick]

35. A bunch of ignorant fucks. n/t

[a kennedy]

36. These comments just make my heart ache.....

and this IS my neighborhood. All of them are so red necked and stupid that I can't stand it. I'm trying to move.

[progressoid]

37. And they are blaming Obama for this.

Like he organized the event and coordinated the tv schedules.

[Honeycombe8]

41. Wow. There aren't words to describe them. Alabama + football = *#Q!$!$#(. nt

[reformist2]

42. I think we *were* progressing, but then hate radio derailed us, and encouraged people to be evil.

I swear, there were fewer racists in the late 80s then there are today.

[Coyotl]

45. "I want to watch football." Sorry if a national tragedy ruins your sports viewing America!

This says a lot about the USA.

[Coyotl]

46. If you don't have a friend to take your photo, use a mirror.

"Obama you stupid sand nigger get off my tv. Your just making the families hurt and miss their kids more and I want to watch football"


"really? can't even watch sunday night football cuz our nigger prez has to talk, really?"

[Care Acutely]

49. Ewwww what does nekkid guy usually DO while he watches football?

Chow. I am blowing it.

[Shampoobra]

50. Might I interest you in a 'silver lining' of sorts?

I read as many of them as I could take. You know what they reminded me of? Non-voting conservatives. You know the sort: They know they would vote Republican, if they knew how to vote ... but they don't ... so they don't.

The silver lining:

These are the people who would have voted for Romney in '12 and McCain in '08, if they weren't so lazy, uneducated, and downright stupid that they don't know the first thing about how to register or where to vote.

I'm telling you, as bad as their comments are, they expose the magnitude of selfishness and hedonism that make it impossible for them to lift a finger to further their bigotry beyond the occasional Internet hate forum.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

53. "Liz Michael"

OMG. I once frequented a newsgroup he/she/whatever was on. A total wingnut. A transgender Ron Paul loving anti-choice gun nut.
