117. Now we're aruguing hypotheticals vs. the eyewitness' account
And no, there is no circumstance where it's OK, or less incendiary, or whatever justification you want to add, for a white male to tell a black woman to thank her grandparent for his cotton shirt as some sort of celebration of slavery. Leaving aside your ridiculous assertion that anything this woman said or did justifies or somehow mitigates this disgusting slur, it's telling that this asshole chose these words to address her. And people say that those of us defending the victim are playing the race card!

Like I said above, I'm not held to the threshold of proof that the court these players will soon be facing...I am more than ready to believe the victim when I see the behavior of the partygoers (i.e. this disgusting quote and the post-attack e-mail sent out by one of the other partygoers fantasizing about killing and skinning more strippers). I believe the victim.
