There's an UNQUESTIONABLY racist tweet the fan randomly sent in October telling Westbrook to "go back to where he came from"... that being L.A. Oh, and don't forget the dogwhistle #MAGA hashtag at the end
Is the “that being LA” part yours, or his?
If he’s referring to LA, I’m not sure that’s racist. If the tweet to a black guy was “go back to where you came from” followed by #MAGA, I would assume the “where” is Africa. And yes, that’s extremely racist.
I do have to say, I am still shocked when people make overtly racist comments and public. I expect it in private, within closed groups, etc. In general though I thought racists where a little better at covering their tracks.
But, racist or not, it doesn’t excuse the violent statements directed toward women. Excusing that just plays into the power and control/toxic masculinity that these abusers thrive on.
