Racist Comments on McDonald's Attack Video

Yesterday Bil posted the article, "Transgender Woman Severely Beaten at Baltimore McDonalds While Employees Watch," I knew from the moment it began play that reception of this video would be dangerous. As predicted, the racist comments rolled in while Bil and I moderated from the back end, featuring unsurprising racial epithets that people of color know all to well (so I don't think they need to be repeated here). Bil told me yesterday that he's never TOS'd (terms of service violation) this many racist comments from the site: "everyone seems to be painting this just as black vs. white."
