Whether he had the "right" to be annoyed at the employee or not, there is no excuse for the racist language.

it's awful on the face of it, but videos like this with zero context, i find very worrying. Pick a favourite controversial topic that people can get angered about, wrap it up in a bite sized video snippet and dish while hot

It wouldn’t be TiBB without someone trying to excuse blatant racism

Tell us, under what circumstances do you think it is OK for a Post Office worker to be racially abused by an armed customer?

We all seem to have forgot the man had a gun. Given the current climate in America I highly doubt they riled this armed man but if that justified it for you then please tell us why? :thumbs:

I know. So edgy. Not.
Is homophobia, antisemitism acceptable too in the "right context"?
No wonder this world is so **** with attitudes like that around

Enlighten us when it is acceptable to use racial slurs.

Why are you so eager to defend racist language?

What possible context would racist language have been acceptable?

Whilst I would never condone the language used, its clear from the video he is frustrated by not getting the his form, I think we can all relate to 'computer says no' frustration, yes he was out of order, yes he was packing a gun, but he didn't wave it around which is pretty incredible given how frustrated he was, did someone behind the counter snigger, yes they did, we can all stand here and say omg thats awful but in a similar situation would we have uttered under our breath, fat bitch, old cow, or similar, it's on this thread..old fool...old bugger .... all seemingly very acceptable insults... who knows maybe he came back an hour later after he calmed down and apologised, or may he went back home and put a pillow case over his head, we don't know.... its a snapshot in time, ..... maybe he is an out and out racist or maybe he pulled out the worst insult he could think of at the time and went home and regretted it, I'm no Trump fan and its very clear in his posts neither is Bots, nobody trotted out after Clinton had it off with Monica that the whole of the USA was enabled to have affairs, so I find the narrative the everyone has suddenly turned racist due to Trump a bit hard to swallow in all honesty

Liam- 25-08-2019 09:59 PM

Let not try and compare racial slurs to calling someone an old cow like it’s anywhere near being an equivalent.

I find the narrative that anyone is pushed or provoked into using disgusting racial slurs hard to swallow in all honesty

Ammi 25-08-2019 10:00 PM

...regardless of how frustrating he may have found it that he wasn’t given the form he had demanded...he was angry, he was carrying a weapon and he was using hateful/racist language...he wasn’t muttering it, he was screaming it very directly and getting more and more angry, as his abuse was becoming more racial...and he repeated the n word as he was walking out of the door...it’s good that this is being investigated by the police because no one ever...doing their job or doing anything in their daily lives, should be spoken to like that...in such a hate filled way...

I was kind of agreeing till the bit in bold but you do seem to be trying every scenario to justify this persons behavior. Your comparison to Clinton is a strange one. Affairs are usually carried out in secret so your scenario doesnt really make sense of people being enpowered to do things in secret :conf:

Fact is, White supremacists like Trump and have said so on many occasions so its not too much o stretch given his rhetoric to see this on the rise. People, wisely or stupidly, sometimes trust and follow their leaders. It doesnt really matter that Donnies racist, what matters is that racists like him, alot.

White Supremacists, Extremists Celebrate President Trump’s Latest Racist Tweets

Trump said 'many people agree' with his racist tweets. These white supremacists certainly do.
