We learned long ago that anything that could possibly be interpreted as racism, is racism.

Nope.

A white person wearing a gorilla mask attacking an uppity black man who is trying to unseat a white politician is DEFINITELY racism.

Nope, where's the racism? A white woman is a racist just because she's wearing a gorilla mask. What kind of mask should she be wearing and not be considered racist?

Please do not insult us by pretending that you do not understand the context and history of black folks being subjected to gorilla references.

So you know she picked a gorilla mask because Larry is black? When did she say that's why she's wearing a gorilla mask? Once she heard Larry was going to be walking in the neighborhood she specifically went shopping to find a gorilla mask? She went to the store to buy that specific mask because Larry is black? A white woman wearing a gorilla mask is racist? It's not. If, while wearing the mask she yelled, "hey Larry! I'm your mother", then that would be racist". Just wearing a mask? No racism.

There's no racism here. She did not hurl any racial slurs Larry's way, she said nothing racist towards him or many any racist gestures.

Shalom

Wow, you're deliberately insulting everyone by pretending that you do not understand the context and history of black folks being subjected to gorilla references. After I specifically instructed you not to.

“The question is not ‘did racism take place?’ but rather, ‘how did racism manifest in this situation?”
