    CW sexual violence/other violence

    After someone close to him was raped by a black man he confessed that he like intentionally set out to go kill a random black person (that had nothing to do with the assault) just because

    He like apologized and said he felt guilty about it but idk that doesn’t rub me right at all, like that’s really fucking racist. I get that someone he loved was hurt but normal, good people don’t take that anger out on a random person just because they’re the same race as the perpetrator.

      I mean... the fact he wanted to do that in the first place is pretty fucked up. But it seems like he realized that was a fucked up and expressed remorse for it gives me a bit of sympathy for him. Sounds like he had drinking and anger issues at the time and grew up in a pretty fucked up community. Not that it really excuses anything but the fact he can reflect on it is more than a lot of people do.
