Yahoo Commenters: The Window To America's Embarrassments.

http://news.yahoo.com/colo-transgender-girl-cant-school-bathroom-214244912.html

Don't go any further than the story if you don't want to be pissed the hell off. I mean, the story is infuriating as it is, but I wouldn't go any further than that.

Yahoo's commenters are a fucking disgrace. An absolute fucking disgrace to humanity.

I now know America really has not evolved one iota. NOT ONE.

It's so heartbreaking. Poor Coy is going through something these people will never even get for one second of their bible-slobbering, knuckle-dragging lives. Can't even drudge up a byte of empathy, and neither can school administrators.

Just look at any negatively-spun story involving (insert any race, creed or ethnicity here)s. The stench permeates the screen from these wannabe Klansmen.

....because people were posting their favorite Yahoo comments attacking Michelle Obama at the Oscars.

When I pointed out the average IQ of Yahoo commenters being lower than dog shit, I was neg repped into oblivion.

Obviously, there are many of them out there.

the people who make those kind of comments on Youtube or Yahoo are not a huge reflection of what the majority of Americans think. If that were the truth, this country would be a lost cause. But... wow.. there sure is a hell of a lot of ignorance and bigotry out there.
