Yes You’re Racist…
The Charlottesville terrorist events proved that with Donald Trump now firmly behind them in The White House, racists no longer feel a need to hide behind a KKK hood. Unfortunately for them, that decision is proving to be a costly one.
Current Events
The Twitter account YES YOU’RE RACIST has made it its business to out bigots and to hit them where it hurts — in their pockets. Founded by Logan Smith, the site combed through images of the Charlottesville protesters and identified one by one those participants who openly chanted “Jews will not replace us,” “Blood and soil,” and other inflammatory slogans.
“It started as a lighthearted way of poking fun at folks who tweet ‘I’m not racist’ and then post some other ridiculous racist comments,” Smith said. However, the results of identifying scores of Charlottesville protesters has been no laughing matter.
The neo-Nazi’s and white supremacists felt powerful marching in solidarity last weekend. However, many of them returned home to find that they were suddenly out of a job. Yes, once shocked employers learned that their hires were bigots and saw the images to prove it, they were swiftly fired!
The lesson here is: if you’re going to be an out and proud white nationalist, you might want to first make sure you can afford the consequences.

“The lesson here is: if you’re going to be an out and proud white nationalist, you might want to first make sure you can afford the consequences. ”
You’re darn right DJ.
Even during the Jim Crow era (circa 1877 to the 1960s), White supremacists who took part in KKK marches knew the risk of being publicly identified as a member of such a group. Hence, the need for white robes and hoods to protect their identity.
Obviously, the yahoos today had given little-to-no thought to the risk. Going forward, I think it very likely that a few of them will give it some thought now….smh.
TGIF!
