they gave them empty iced lattes, the bastards

oh this is an eye thing huh

welcome aboard

jesus fuck

i think the design on the cups could just be a comment on how much the barista loved their eyes bc they were so dreamy, no?

LOL!!!

zing

omg that can't be

could it be shorthand for something else?!

Jesus

i highly doubt it was shorthand for something else

oh no you're right. It means ŋ, it/at

or maybe: Would! Date!

i like how this closes out the piece, like the writer knew it was the punchline for a human joke

i like how he says he didn't even realize he used the word, as if that makes him less likely to appear racist

yeah if the word comes out so nonchalantly that you didn't realize you said it, p much means you say it a lot.

(granted I know he typed it but that's even more damning!)

where do you guys think his kids being taunted about their racist dad ranks in the worldwide scale of national tragedies? I put it a few spots ahead of the death of whitney houston

i actually do feel bad for those kids but i don't think tht dude getting to coach next year is really gonna change much in that regard

i feel like everyone is relieved that we're back to somebody saying nigger and away from korean eye caricatures on a starbucks cup and chink in the armor.

eh i think its more that this one is almost like dude was reading directly from the script -- the on-the-nose-ness of it almost makes me think it was made up, except of course that its 100% believable

hmmm. is this like a magic eye thing? i've been looking at that starbuccks cup for a half hour. this might be a little too abstract for our 'is this racist?' thread. wait... CRF?? kerf? is that it?

then mordy asks if maybe he meant to say nigga because he identifies with............ blah blah blah

Lolwat

haha

he called her a nigger because he thinks she's dreamy, okay? OKAY?

*raises confederate flag*

“I don’t need this drama in my life. It’s going to affect me hugely, and my business,”

Oh you poor fucking racist.

Can I reserve a little secondary outrage over the fact that this dumbass doesn't know the difference between a noun and an adjective?

Kelly, who ran unsuccessfully in the 2008 Democratic primary for Cook County Recorder of Deeds, admits to posting the comment on his Facebook page.

“I made the comment,” he said. “I had a bunch of friends and cousins making comments about Whitney Houston. I’m sorry I did it. I deleted the post and then I went and apologized to [the mother] on Saturday. I apologized 100 times over. This lady is making a personal vendetta against me.”
