not all racists are kkk , confederate flag waving types.
many of them are the type that enjoys watching sports which have highly paid black athletes until the athlete talks about racism . until the jewish co worker gets a promotion over them and they feel it's due to some jewish conspiracy .
the reddit coward that made the anti jewish cnn thing is probably the type that works with people of different backgrounds. probably jewish people. he isn't openly bigoted towards them or at least not as openly as on reddit in front of similar bigot cowards .
but inside they rage against what the view as unfairness, injustice etc over some black person, female, jewish person etc getting something they don't think is deserved . especially if they think they got it over them.
i wonder if this coward is a well known type such as a media pundit .

(53,061 posts)He has offered and unqualified apology. CNN is giving him a reprieve and not identifying his real identity.
An interesting turn of events.

(15,237 posts)When that happened he became the property of the President. Damned right he will apologize for his personal safety even if no money changed hands, he is on the radar of the biggest thin skin bully to ever hold office in the executive branch. I would imagine he has had some interesting discussions to highlight the need to apologize so sincerely.

(20,998 posts)...once their anti-Semitic, homophobic, misogynist and racist bigotry gets dragged out into the open, and they realize that the rest of the world can see them for the hateful, shallow little shitheads they truly are.
"I'm not that person..." YES YOU ARE. You just proved it to everyone. Own it, you dishonest little scumbag.

(53,936 posts)I see this with many a people, not just the "president's" supporters. Some pretend to be one thing, and then, "suddenly" lose it and start raving about "kikes firing them in the night" and other such nonsense. (No, I am not making this up.) President Obama talked about racism not just being limited to one word, but too many people seem to think anti-Semitism is limited to just the right doing it or certain words/actions having to take place before it is "really" anti-Semitism (I can't wait until the html codes are turned back on!!).
