    This man has an incurable case of malignant stupidity. The dealership where Malcolm X bought his first car was next on his arson targets list.

        You know, I almost looked first before making my throwaway comment. I thought to myself no way this isn’t a fool of a white boy. It’s not only a woman, it’s a black woman. I did not see that coming. I solemnly swear to be better in the future, because the world is unpredictable.

          Good on you man. It’s not seen often that someone so graciously changes their perspective like you did. Well done man.

      Oh yeah, tell me about it. I post a lot of articles in various communities, so I probably see more comments that the average user. I cannot overstate how annoying it is to open my inbox to find a deluge of comments from people asking things that are explained within the first sentence or two of an article. Or as in this case, getting the basic facts incorrect because they only read the headline. Lemmy isn’t any different than reddit in that regard.

      The place where people read the headline and make a bunch of assumptions is called “the whole ass universe”, not reddit. Besides, people who clicked on the article before posting only wanted to fact-check their suspicions because they’re insecure about looking stupid.

    26 year old woman … I totally didn’t see that. I don’t think the article mentioned her party affiliation but I think we can all guess.
