    This Vampire hit for the cycle from the alt-right/racist checklist.

    - Go back to Africa: Check

    - Black people started slavery: Check

    - It’s Black people’s fault we are racist: Check

    - Black people would be better off if they voted Republican: Check

    - Stop making it a “race thing”: Check

    And the icing on the cake is the bullshit apology, because of course, a racist rant isn’t really a racist rant if the Vampire doesn’t say something like this when shit hits the fan:

    Scogin added that: “the last thing I want to do is hurt anyone. I apologize for what I said and sincerely wish to avoid this in the future.”

      Exactly! They always shout not to make it a “race thing” while proceeding to make it entirely a race thing.

    “Want a better neighborhood? Move. You don’t have to choose to live in those zip codes,” Scogin wrote,

    Me: Great idea. I’m moving next door to you.

    Scogin: Whoa, wait a sec...

      Seriously. “Move to a different zip code”?

      And then when they get shot while trying to introduce themselves to their new white neighbors?

      I’m Canadian, yet I know what has always happened when black Americans have moved into generally white zip codes. If I’m familiar enough with American history to be aware of this, what the hell excuse does an American teacher have for not knowing it? Yes, yes, she’s a math teacher, but I’m no historian either.

      I say this... “yes, many Africans sold Africans from other tribes into slavery. No one forced Europeans to buy them; transport them across the ocean; insure them as chattel; setup markets to sell them; establish laws to disenfranchize them; and more. For the supposed enlightened and advanced people of Europe, they seemed to act with savagery.”

    Man, homegirl went deep; she went an put both feet in when she tried to come down for the landing. Going back and trying to force in the old well-worn “well, they sold their own people” trope into this where it is in no way relevant to anything is next-level fuckery. But the most bizarre thing of all is after immersing her whole soul into racism, she literally tries to walk it back at the end with a lazy play at ageism.

    What is this, even? There is SO much going on here. It was like racism constipation, and then she drank of milk or racist magnesia, and blew it right out her ass.

      I read that even more different than you did.  She’s basically saying she can’t promise this won’t happen again.

    What’s ironic is that whenever a racist, right-wing piece of shit tells a person of color to “move” from a bad neighborhood, they’re conveniently leaving out the part where they go, “And when you do move to a better neighborhood, we’ll all move out and the local government will start slashing public funds for your community, which will diminish health care, public education and social services which will inevitably lead to crime, fulfilling our stereotypical perception of you!”

    But it was their own people selling them into slavery

    This argument is so stupid.. Even if Black people sold our own into slavery, white people still bought them and kept them enslaved. They try to turn the blame of Black people like their people didn’t still buy and own slaves.

    Recently I posted a comment that may have been hurtful to some of you

    I take it the people she was apologizing to were other white people?

      I also never get it because slavery was not practiced the same way over there as it was over here. Slaves were eventually integrated into the culture into which they were sold into. Like, your family didn’t stay slaves in perpetuity.

      Yeah, in hindsight “all slavery bad!” But their constant need to try and conflate other forms with the extra-wicked race-based chattel slavery they practiced in the Americas? Like, no, I’m not going to let them do that, either.  There was no equivalent.

      This is how I imagine her trial for possession of stolen goods would go:

      Judge: So, you bought those items even though you knew they were stolen

      Valerie Scogin: Yeah, but it’s OK because someone else stole them first. Don’t you see, your honor; if they hadn’t stolen them in the first place then I wouldn’t have been able to buy them so this is totally not my fault.

    That’s just the good old southern mentality! Forget about the fact that it is known that they meaning white folks get more government help in sheer numbers than any other group the fact that we get anything will be called handouts. The old southern myth of white folks who would eat mud before taking help is an old treasured story even though it’s total bullshit! That’s why the GOP can always count on their votes and not do shit for them

      I have a close female relative that love all that Confederate bullshit, thinks she’s some modern plantation belle, votes and campaigns for Republicans, and would wholeheartedly co sign this trash Facebook post. She is also living off Social Security payments intended for her kids, which she of course views as her private piggy bank. She spends her days guzzling box wine and cruising Southern white woman Heaven (aka Michael’s craft store). She is unemployed, living off government payments, and is also receiving Medicaid rather than paying for the sweet government healthcare plan that she is eligible for. But she steadfastly refuses to see that she has become the stereotype of the “welfare mother”. Somehow it’s different when she uses social services, perhaps it’s the salary we all owe her for simply gracing is with her righteous white womanhood. Total cognitive dissonance.

      Also, of course this “math” teacher is from fucking Slidell. Nice Sarah Huckabee Sanders cosplay though, very believable.

      It’s not just Southern mentality. It’s North, South, East, West, good old white Murican mentality. 

      Relegating virulent racism to the South is just another way of saying “not all white people”.

    LOL. This grey actually wants us to believe that is gainfully employed and actually seen and heard black people before.

    It’s always steak and lobster. Because raw meat and seafood sold at the grocery store definitely costs the same as cooked meals sold at a restaurant.

      So a little grey troll just proved itself to be only capable of reading headlines. Quelle Surprise. It’s like it doesn’t actually read any of its own copypasta. Specifically yet another blog post that clearly states that black people do not make up the lion’s share of welfare recipients and hints at racism (you know the whole “not hiring qualified black applicants for jobs for a myriad of bullshit reasons” thing) as being the cause of black people’s relatively high poverty rates. But in the past six months, this specific troll has repeatedly proven to be not only functionally illiterate, but completelly unable to discern valid and reliable sources from junk (it has repeatedly copied and pasted “articles” written by high school students,) not know basic American History, not know anything about geography (maybe it’ll copy and paste another story about South Africa on a comment thread about Black Americans,) not know how to properly cite its plagiarized articles, and not know how to properly analyze statistics. It’s just a thoroughly stupid racist that would manage to flunk out of Everest College after one semester.
