41. Or: "Black people using a tragedy as an excuse to steal shit"

Tue Nov 24, 2015, 03:46 PM

Nov 2015

So when I saw this post by Dusty Smith, a popular YouTube atheist under the handle “Cult of Dusty,” it bothered me. I usually “get” his sort of politically-incorrect humor even if it’s not for everyone, but there’s just nothing funny about this:

I love how shocked CNN is that black people are violently looting in Baltimore right now. Black people using a tragedy as an excuse to steal shit? Who could have possibly predicted such a thing?

He's the kind of person that give Bernie Sanders supporters a bad name, if he really does.
