A sign hung in Port Coquitlam advertising a “whites-only” moms and tots group is causing outrage online after photos of a poster were shared on social media.

    People like to be outraged. It makes them feel correct for not being the racist one and confirm how they already want to feel about others.

    It’s also easier for a brain to confirm what it already wants to believe. Good write up but I am unsure how good it would do of convincing those that need it that sometimes people just make rage bait to get people to think alike with them or because they are edgelords that think it’s funny.

    But you know as a wise Republican white commissioner in PA once said “I’m a black gay guy”

      Theres tonnes of actual racist shit out there that gets dumped onto social media constantly.

      It’s wild to look at this and even remotely think “aw yeah this one definitely happened, looks super legit”

      You have to live under a rock and never have actually encountered racist trash to think anything about this sign looks like it was made by such a person.
