Because, really, I can't wrap my mind around the sheer stupidity of this post. Like ain't nary black person or minority that frequents these boards might say WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUCK. I mean, for real tho? Just are we serious about life right now?
I keep thinking about this and I just can't accept ignorance or naïveté out of people past their 30s. I would say 20s but I am feeling generous. I feel like it is a decision NOT to be more self-aware at that point.
Secondly, what an asshole tactic of the KKK. Have a restaurant with an award winning dessert because people will apparently compromise their morals for a good pie. It's an ugly insight into humanity.
Foolhardy comments and lots of excuses Screen-capture shots and pie and short fuses Talk about racism -- please give me pings These are a few of my favorite things
Ah, Miso, I am really not a racist. I am just dumb and unthinking. And because this is the webz, you will always think this first about me.
I feel for you, txgrandma. You've always seemed so sweet. I'm sorely disappointed that you deny that your actions were racist. Worse yet, you now seem to put the blame on me for thinking you're racist.
That just doesn't make any sense.
You were the one who made the conscious decision to go to an establishment that has this history. You knew of this before you went. And yet you still went. And, prior to this group lashing, you showed no remorse. In fact, it seems you were proud and amused to have been a patron.
This whole thing supports my previous assertion in other race-related posts that racism need not be intentional. You didn't mean anything by your actions, but your actions were still entirely despicable.
I don't think you're a bad person at all. Misguided, definitely. A simple, genuine apology would have been better than your repeated denial that what you did was morally reprehensible.
I love pie, too. I really really really love pie. I've said on many occasions that I'd like to go back in time and have wedding pie instead of wedding cake.
But I wouldn't go to this place even if it served the best pie in the world.
There is a reason that people will remember this, and it's not because it's "the webz."
Thanks OP I guess we won't be discussing the morality surrounding eating some chicken nuggets and a shake from chick fil a for a while.
Also, I read the OP before it was deleted and it took a few posts for me to even realize what the hell the name had to do with racism. I don't know if that makes me naive or an idiot.

Holy fuck. Even if you didn't know from the "webz" before you went in it was KKK affiliated, the fucking name wasn't enough to clue you in? "Let's just hang out in this triple K restaurant! Oh, Black Forrest pie?"
I get my pie from a place whose jaunty little jingle was done by Chris Ballew of The Presidents of the United States of America and Caspar Babypants fame.
