The woman behind an early Facebook post that helped spark baseless rumors about Haitians eating pets told NBC News that she feels for the immigrant community.
"I'm not a racist, I just spread rumors that are based on racist ideology."
Being dumb isn't an excuse; it's a prerequisite.
The only hope here is that this specific moment forced her to recognize her racism and she stops spreading it going forward. She'll still be racist and she wakes to her own culpability
Do you remember that reddit moment after everybody and their mother was witchhunting the wrong Boston bomber and some people agreed to not let this happen again? The whole world needs this kind of moment.
