I never said people don't have the freedom to express their opinion back ? they absolutely do ? but keep in mind that fueling a fire does nothing to extinguish it.

And neither does ignoring it, especially if that fire was set for no good reason.

While I appreciate the freedom we all have to say what we feel, I would like to think that lashing out against bigotry is still by far the normal response.

You/he certainly do have that freedom but to your point: we'd all be better served if the people most eager to utilize that freedom stopped and asked themselves if anyone really cares what they have to say. JCManHate clearly needs attention and will take any outrageous Trump-style position to stir the pot. I get that. He lacks the maturity to understand nuance. But he is close to single-handedly (with at least a nod to Yvonne, Monroe, et al) making this site something to avoid rather than being the useful community resource it could - and occasionally used to - be. That's unfortunate.

Doesn't really matter is JCMan is racist or not. It's not illegal to be a racist, just as it's not illegal to hate gays, or jews or whomever. What if he hates cherry cola? What if he hates Toyotas? Expressing your beliefs isn't illegal in itself, but actions that are influenced by them can potentially be.

Should he have kept it to himself?? maybe? but he hasn't broken any laws by expressing his point of view.

And everyone here has the freedom to express their opinion back, and to draw whatever conclusion they desire.

yea, you mean the GUY THAT DID A GOOD DEED IN RETURNING A LOST WALLET IS BLACK WHAT A SHOCK. NOT ONE THAT WAS STOLEN. picking up a lost wallet is not the same as stealing a wallet, you fucking racist idiot. the act of picking up a wallet is not a crime you mentally retarded dumbfuck. walking away with it is not a crime either. not turning it in to the police or returning it to the owner/keeping the possessions is.

PLEASE SHOW ME THE STATISTICAL EVIDENCE OF RACE OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE PICKED UP LOST WALLETS AND KEPT THE MONEY. shit, i just googled it and you get a (very small sample sized) reader's digest study of lost wallets in cities throughout the world. top of the list: helsinki, mumbai, budapest, new york. bottom of the list: lisbon, madrid, prague, zurich

jfc the cognitive dissonance with you is astonishing. i can't wait for a few of you morons to self end come next friday.

It's not that he's just a racist, but an idiot, too.

"So there was a wallet picked up in a mostly white/Asian neighborhood? Must have been a black guy!"

Seriously, put on your dunce cap, sit in the corner for a while and think about how stupid what you said is.

Hopefully for your sake you will mature in time.

Perception is more important than intent. It doesn't matter if you think you're a racist. It matters if the rest of us do.

Not at all. Consensus is not a substitute for truth.

Simply look to the crime statistics and it will reveal what the most likely perpetuator looks like. If these statistics upset you, perhaps certain demographics should stop committing these crimes so they aren't grossly over represented in the crime statistics.


What do YOU say Corksucker?

The statistics don't cover people returning wallets. So they have no bearing on, if a wallet is stolen, what groups of people overwhelmingly are likely to be the culprits.

The implication in the OP was that the person stole the wallet. I'm happy this turned out not to be the case.

And I'm not the one who originally asked, but that poster was right. When you make a post about someone who took a wallet, you should give as many descriptive details as possible, including race.

I don't know why I keep coming back here and letting your shit get me worked up.
Dude, you're a fuckign racist and I honestly hope it bites you in the ass.

Not only the wallet was found and returned by the wonderful guy that found it this morning, all the contents including the cash were all accounted for. John, our hero of the day, also refused to take any money for his good deed.

So thank you John for being just an awesome fella and we will try to pay it forward. Now the happy family can hop on the plane thanks to you!

That is great news - so glad this story had a happy ending! Bon voyage!

Thank you, John, for your good deed. I hope your act inspires others.

Agreed, great to see strangers looking out for each other!
