New York dentist bitterly complains about losing clients after his Juneteenth-mocking party gets exposed in lawsuit

A dentist from Rochester, New York is bitterly complaining that he lost clients after his Juneteenth-mocking pool party got exposed in a lawsuit filed by a Black firefighter who claims he was forced by his boss to attend it.

(and now for the lamest defense in years)

However, Znidarsic-Nicosia also admitted that she ran an overtly racist Twitter account, although she claimed that the account was merely a racist "persona" she created and was not reflective of her true views.

“I have made blatantly racist comments under that persona,” she said. “The culture of Twitter operates that way. It gives you an opportunity to be someone you’re not.”

“We were tried and convicted on social media in a false narrative that was created," he complained.

So even if their explanation were true, at best that means that they're an Internet troll. I certainly wouldn't want to go to a racist dentist, but I also wouldn't want to go to one that "pretends" to be one to troll people on Twitter.

How old are is this person anyway?

I love this part:

We were tried and convicted on social media in a false narrative that was created


Yet the wife fully admits "I have made blatantly racist comments" on Twitter. Doesn't seem like a "false narrative" to me.

Why would you want to be someone you’re not? What’s that even supposed to mean, in this case?

You don’t have to give in to the culture of Twitter, and in this case, it’s not a persona. It’s who you are.

He says he was tried and convicted because of a "false narrative that was created," but he was the one who created it.

Or, does it show you to be who you really are.

As Michelle Obama said, ""Being president," she said, "doesn't change who you are, it reveals who you are."

The only legitimate reason to create a racist persona would be infiltrating the KKK or a biker gang as the ATF or something.

the man's excuse -- mocking Juneteenth's just good fun if it's done to own the libs. Certainly clients couldn't complain about theming a party to attack liberals -- as long as it's ONLY libs (of unspecified colors)?

Yet another demonstration that these types are missing equipment normal adults have. +1000 for not wanting this man's hands in my mouth.
