53. Willy, you're a good guy, but your racist radar probably needs some fine-tuning

he was saying that black people who let their hair grow out naturally are desperate for attention.

in another thread he supported a school disciplining a black child because she grew her hair naturally instead of using chemicals to straighten it.

he was stating those opinion as a "fuck you" to the site's african americans. he did the same thing to feminists.

he'd be deliberately racist and sexist, then gloat about how "un politically correct" he was--as if trying to make women and black folks feel unwelcome was something he as a white guy should have been proud of.

please, do not defend that shit

in case you want a really obvious example of his trolling:

he:

a) said that referring to Glenn Greenwald as "GG" in written form was blatantly homophobic; and
b) had nothing but good things to say about Vladimir "Gay propaganda" Putin and the Russian government
