Racist letter sent to day care center

[Minimalist]

Going by the grammar, there's a good chance it could have been a black activist, or maybe it's just a white person with extremely poor grammar. Maybe it's a white person trying to make it look like a black person is faking a hate crime, so that's why the grammar is so poor? Who knows?

So you don't think there are stupid whites?

[brewer]

Not worth my time, or the internets. Posting it is probably exactly what the author wanted.

[Thumpalumpacus]

Based on ...?

The letter being so over the top.

Yeah, bigots are usually well-reasoned and understated.

[ErGingerbreadMandude]

Yeah, because dark skinned females are SO hard to look at...














Terrifying, huh?

Boru

Dark complexion is super cute without doubt

[FFaith]

I still think it's someone from the girls personal life who really doesn't like her and thought it's be funny to do something cruel like this.

Urrybody know dem nigras cain't gramma!

Moron.

I'm a moron because I take into account that this could have possibly been a fake hate crime? You're being emotional rather than rational if you're not willing to see that as a possibility. Like I said, I have no idea what race the author of the letter is, but when I first read it, my first thought was that it sounds a lot like a black person, and you can try to make me look like a bad guy for sharing my first reaction to reading the letter, but blacks often say "You can tell a black person wrote this... or said this", so me doing something similar is no worse. Blacks do it to themselves all the time, so what exactly is the issue here that I'm missing? I even ended my post with "who knows?", showing that I was taking my own initial feelings with a grain of salt and that I know no more about who wrote the letter than anyone else does right now.

Exactly. That's why I said maybe it was a stupid white person, in the very first sentence of my post.

No, you're a moron because you state that there's a "good chance" it was fake based on a baseless assumption that you can ascertain a writer's race by writing alone.

You're being emotional rather than rational if you're not willing to see that as a possibility. Like I said, I have no idea what race the author of the letter is, but when I first read it, my first thought was that it sounds a lot like a black person, and you can try to make me look like a bad guy for sharing my first reaction to reading the letter, but blacks often say "You can tell a black person wrote this... or said this", so me doing something similar is no worse. Blacks do it to themselves all the time, so what exactly is the issue here that I'm missing?

You're missing the fact that blacks do not do that all the time. I'm not arguing emotionally, because unlike you, I'm not importing my personal assumptions in positing silly extenuating circumstances.

Nor am I trying to make you look like a bad guy; you're doing well enough there on your own.

I even ended my post with "who knows?", showing that I was taking my own initial feelings with a grain of salt and that I know no more about who wrote the letter than anyone else does right now.

What that tells me is that you're willing to go off half-cocked, talking of "good chances", making baseless assumptions about a writer's race based on grammar. And that marks you as a moron.

Whoever wrote it was smart enough to buy the stamp at a stamp machine where they can't be identified. Or maybe just lucky enough.

Well, the Twitter link doesn't work for me, but I found it on Snopes:



And, seriously, a serious business letter typed in fucking Jokerman? That font that shouldn't be used for anything more formal than announcements for Taco Tuesdays. That font makes it a bit hard to take the author seriously.

And here's the best way to take such demands:

This is awful. And quite honestly seems too horrible to be true. I'm actually pretty skeptical and am thinking the letter wasn't written by a racist parent at all, but by someone who doesn't like that girl. Ex boyfriends maybe... or a friend whom she's had a falling out with, co worker who doesn't like her, etc. Either that, or someone just playing an extremely cruel joke and being a poe to make some kind of point. Honestly either one of those 2 scenarios would be better than if the letter was actually genuine.

Thoughts? Do yall think this was really sent by a racist parent? 

Whitehall police are investigating a racially charged letter sent to a township day care center where shaken staff members have been taking extra security precautions since early this week.
Dominique McKelley, owner of Bridge 2 Creative Learning Center in Whitehall, said an envelope addressed to her arrived Tuesday with no return address.
Inside were two identical letters — one addressed to her and another to one of her workers — urging the center to fire one of its black workers because of her dark skin color. The letter was posted on social media by staff who condemned its content, and has since gone viral.

Can't read the letter since I'm not a member of twitter, nor do I want to be.
