seems like a racist assumption to make….
they had 3 other kids they didn’t do that to

observing apparent injuries and signs of severe malnourishment

they tortured that one kid and starved him

They never mentioned race in their comment. White people have just as much capacity to be absolute shit-heads as black people, as Asian, as Native American, as anyone. Being a piece of shit isn't exclusive to a single race.

to be fair its also a blanket assumption that you think other races are like tha ttoo without evidence. majority of adopters, foster homers are white people, they have that saviour fetish. Pocs are less likely to adopt than whites are.

well i assume they looked at the article

[–] curiousaur@reddthat.com 1 points 49 minutes ago

Do you truly not see how you assuming my comment was about race reveals your inner racism?

[–] curiousaur@reddthat.com 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You're the one who brought up race out of nowhere.

They get government money per kid.

is a racist stereotype, the parents are black.
the article said nothing about their income.
it’s not that fucking complicated.

you racist piece of shit

[–] curiousaur@reddthat.com 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I didn't know they were black. But you clearly do, and you are projecting your racism hard.

[–] ozymandias@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

so you can’t see the thumbnail for the article? you didn’t open the article with clear pictures of the parents you’re talking about?
i know the racist online troll pattern:

  1. say racist shit on
  2. accuse the people who notice you’re a racist piece of shit of being racist
  3. ???
  4. goon to hentai

you’re fooling nobody.

No I only load the text scraped from the article, and only read the first few paragraphs. I knew only they were from Louisiana.

That is way too specific not to be projection. You clearly have some deep seated racism, and some other issues you need some help with.

accusing people of things that they accuse you of is peewee herman level genius, you racist piece of shit

[–] curiousaur@reddthat.com 1 points 6 hours ago

Why would you bring Peewee Herman into this? Being compared to him is an honor. If you're insulting him...

[–] curiousaur@reddthat.com 1 points 19 hours ago

Every accusation from you bigots is an admission. Its a pattern.
