    Old blame the messenger ass MFs on here.

    People posting ? like "Who on the IC would eat a hamburger" everyday while racism is arguably the most prominent topic in the news and you complaining because somebody takes a few seconds to point out racism on craigslist.

    It's not like dude said he wanted to start a movement behind it. SMH

    So...

    Why do ya'll care about ? like this?

    Is there a problem with making an observation of racist / discriminatory behavior ?

    Or maybe somebody Black wants to buy a ? ' used iPad.

    Do you point out every other mundane thing that happens everyday? Do you feel the need to come to the IC and tell us all whenever you take a ? ? WTF? There are racist people in the world. Is this ? news to you?

    And if a black person wants to buy a used iPad, that person should buy it from someone who doesn't mind selling to blacks. Why the hell would you want to give money to someone who doesn't even like you? ? is stupid.

    Do you ask "why y'all care" about every mundane post on the IC everyday ?

    Dude came across a racist post on a popular site and shared it. So ?

    Says more about you that you're so used to racism that you criticize someone who notices it instead of the one doing it.

    Aye! Speaking of that. I HATE those "Wow! Would anybody eat a ? sandwich?" Threads. That ? is not grown and sexy. Cut it out!

    Yeah, I do. This thread is not the first one where I asked why people care. I've called those "Would you eat" threadsd stupid too. Get out of your feelings.

    It's silly to obsess over ever stupid little racist thing some white person does. And again, a lot of people on here are quick to say "? CACs" and "? what white people think." If that's your sentiment, fine, but why then do you ? , whine, and acknowledge every little thing they do? White people rule ya'll ? and you don't even know it.

    I like the food threads. It's just honest discussion, no one is trying to be the hardest.

    So, what. Who cares?

    Random crackers can sell to whoever they want to.

    I'll try not to lose any sleep over it.

    It's not like this is some type of major supermarket chain with a "sorry, no blacks" policy.

    It is interesting that the seller is just assumed to be white. They don't mention their race in the ad.

    That's true. People acting like other groups like Asians and Indians aren't just as racist towards blacks.

    pretty much this. I saw a thread about it on another forum, checked it out, took a screenshot, and posted it up here 'cause IIRC a few of y'all are from NC.

    My sister and her husband moved to NC from Michigan some years ago. My bro-in-law characterizes a lot of the Black folks he's met on the job and whatnot as basically passive as ? when it comes to blatant racism, especially when it's on the job. ? like this ad doesn't even surprise him because it's like a lot of the Black folks out there just roll over when ? like this presents itself.
