The father of a Baraboo High School graduate blocked his daughter from shaking the hand of the Black superintendent as she graduated, video of the incident shows.

The school district, which has had repeated problems with racism and antisemitism, held its graduation Friday. The father was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct, Wisconsin News reported.

The father, who has been identified as 49-year-old Matt Eddy, jumped on stage, grabbed the superintendent and began dragging him to the back of the stage.

What are the odds he has the word "blacked" in his PornHub search history?

Better than 50%

This whole "all the homophobes are closeted gay men|all the racists secretly fetishize black men" thing is reductive, unrealistic, and unproductive. This dude is gross as fuck and I'm glad he's getting charged with something at least, but chocking these things up to underlying latent sexual urges is weird and doesn't solve anything. I'm going to pivot to homosexuality as it think it's a clearer example now: yes there have been a number of bigots who have turned out to be closeted gays in denial, but concluding from that that all bigots are closeted muddies the water and prevents us from tackling the real root causes of bigotry and, frankly, makes "our side" (for lack of a better term) seem unnecessary sexually-obsessed.

It's a distinct pattern, and taking them seriously does nothing for their condition.

Just seems like such a weird thing to say

[–] ASeriesOfPoorChoices@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

it's not weird at all. it's completely likely. Conservatives tend to project.

what they claim to hate, they usually are.

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee -1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Alright okay, I get it now. But it's still (imo) eh, because it calls back to the "gay haters are gay" thing which I don't think is great. Do you get what I mean?

[–] ASeriesOfPoorChoices@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm sorry that reality isn't to your liking. Would you like to speak to a manager about a refund?

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I mean it's sorta gay hating meme. But if that's fine with you

[–] ASeriesOfPoorChoices@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

no, it isn't. take your weird homophobia elsewhere.

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 0 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

that sounds a tad homophobic

no u

You make a strong case. But using them being closeted gay as an attack does have a bad connotation. Just saying that some gay people strongly dislike such stuff.

[–] ASeriesOfPoorChoices@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

the only person talking about being gay is you, nazi.

the OC said blacked.

The father is accused of enjoying watching black heterosexual men have sex with white heterosexual women.

get that cum out from your eyes and read.

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I said it has the same negative connotation. You disagreed about the negative connotation of calling homophobes closeted gays, which you are of course free to do, even though you're are or course wrong there.

There's really no need for you to be this upset.
