you’re only doing it so you can be a bigot.

Objection: that's entirely unproven and merely your opinion.

When bad things happen most people will look for a cause or explanation instead of just blaming black people and women.

That's precisely what I'm doing. And I'm not even saying that is WAS black people or women, just that it looks rather likely.

I mean, it IS possible that perhaps, maybe, SOMETIMES they're at fault? Or is it always straight white men that are to blame?

It only “looks rather likely” from the perspective of a racist. I would look to an explanation that doesn’t require conspiracy theory levels of mental gymnastics.

I saw the maga crowd bitching about woke politics being to blame when the Key Bridge collapsed, but I didn’t think they genuinely believed something so fucking braindead. Apparently I was wrong!

Why don’t you prove your ingenius “women of color saboteurs” theory? Maybe with something a little more substantial then “you don’t know where those metal shavings came from, so it’s probably woke politics.” For all the evidence you’ve presented, those metal shavings may as well have spontaneously generated.

Also if you absolutely insist on keeping up the whole racism thing, you should expect people to be rather curt with you, if not outright hostile. Wild as it is, kind society doesn’t take kindly to racists.

Okay, then what's your explanation for this? And stay on topic please, the Key Bridge incident has nothing at all to do with Boeing.

that there isn’t a boogeyman to blame everything on, for starters
