Call me a cynic, but I think something is a little odd about this: http://www.over-educated.com/racism-in-america/

Not that I don't believe that there are plenty of racists, but this seems way too convenient.

We have seen plenty of these viral cases get exposed as hoaxes, but the exposure can only happen if a lawsuit takes place.

Leftist clickbait media is so desperate for examples of "oppression" I'm sure they were relieved to find an example. They suffer from a serious supply and demand problem for their narratives of victimhood, won't be long now before slurs in youtube comments from trolls make front page headlines.

Again, assuming this all actually happened the guy is a racist asshole and can deal with the fallout. Where I would differ from SJWs on this is I don't think it is newsworthy, but then again the HuffPost caliber sources "reporting" it aren't exactly "news" sources.

Todd Warner with Monica Warner.

THIS IS IMPORTANT! -- I am not "Todd Warner the Charlotte Racist"
There is a Todd Warner, in Charlotte, that posted something hateful and ugly. I.e. He is a bigot. And then a blogger ... blogged about it.
Unfortunately, I am far more google-able than this bartender in Charlotte (there are actually a lot of Todd Warners), and now The Internet is attacking me, my wife, my employer, her agency, etc. etc.
THIS IS BAD!!!! PLEASE!!!! WE ARE NOT THIS GUY!!!!
The blog post: http://www.over-educated.com/racism-in-america
Please be mindful. And if you did post something somewhere, please try to reverse it. This is having all kinds of negative effects, reputation-wise, but also financially.

PS.
The Carolina Bee Company is us and not him.
"Monica Warner - Go Realty" is my wife, and not him.
I work for ?#?RedHat? -- that other guy does not work for Red Hat.
Please stop attacking the wrong people. Thank you.

Post from the original site breaking the story.

Quote :
"UPDATE: Thank you AirBnB! They were quick to respond. They have removed the host from their site, refunded Jane* the money she paid to AirBnB, and offered to pay for her other lodging. We appreciate their quick action. Additionally, we have learned that the real estate company of the host in no way supports or condones this action, and will be taking efforts to remove Todd Warner from their property.

^^^ if this is real you should be able to find the actual guy pretty easily, and i tried for a few minutes and failed, so imo it's either a fake name or a fake story.

I work with M0nica W4rner and she was legitimately devastated at the stuff people were writing about her and her husband on the internet all day Wednesday. They have a farm that sells honeybees and fresh honey, she is a real estate agent, her husband works at Red Hat. They have nothing to do with Charlotte or any AirBnB but got guilt by association for having the same name in the same state.

They had nothing to do with the racist posts but the entire internet was raging at them all day Wednesday they were being attacked directly & via social media, every where they work was too. It was completely psycho. We even had people inquiring on properties via websites putting in the notes to random agents that we work with racists and would be reported.

The blogger added the note at the top of her post at after they begged her to make it stop, and then the rest of the day was spent messaging people asking them to remove hateful posts and bad reviews. Facebook intervened and removed many of them but the whole thing with the cyber mob was nuts.

That woman seems cool, but man, I hate blogs. The navel-gazing is too much to take.

Guaranteed it's a hoax. The people who make this shit up have so little understanding of how someone with actual racist beliefs acts in their day to day life that they come up with this over-the-top stuff. Like they think the guy is too stupid to just say "oh sorry something came up that day so I have to cancel".

That's exactly what happened, IMHO.

The other giveaway is that you can tell it's engineered to gain media attention on multiple levels. First there's cartoonish racism (guy keeps going on and on), misogyny ("I wanted to fuck your white friend"), elitism (claims to have a $22 million net worth, bitches about welfare queens), even calling Cam Newton a nigger (sure to gain traction in Charlotte). I'm surprised he didn't say something about voting for Trump .

These professional victims just can't help but go way over the top and give themselves away in the process. But I guess it works.

I like to lazily read threads like these and fantasize about crushing the moonbats replying under my fingertip one at a time, like ants on a sidewalk, just grinding them down into the concrete without any real effort, segments and limbs separating, smearing, a lower form of life guttering to bug part garbage i can't even express how little you are worth you fucking slime

seven and a half billion people on the planet

Would you say that you personally need JCE2011, for example? Is he fulfilling some vital and necessary function for you? Gaia could loose her hold on him and send him plummeting into the fucking sky for all I care. It'd be a net gain.
