RACISIM: Jumping to conclusions

Kathy Simmons recent letter to The Press reveals the true problem with much of humanity, and especially certain groups of people.

And that is jumping to conclusions based on speculative reasoning (prejudice) with little in the way of facts other than some people still behave like middle schoolers.

Sure, the guy (or was it?…could’ve been she/her they/them) in the “big white truck” (is that the correlation she used to assume it’s racism?) was definitely a jackass, but your speculation to come to the conclusion as to declare racism is the exact definition of gaslighting.

Are you sure the cyclist was a “him?”

Let’s say you had the opportunity to help the cyclist and decided to flip a U turn on Government Way, thereby cutting me off.

Should I make the correlation you’re just another leftist feminist who hate’s white men and want’s to tear down the patriarchy and all of societies historical norms?

What’s truly sad is you appear to be all too willing to assume the worst and label people without facts, let alone without actually knowing people.

I just hope, for Coeur d’Alene’s sake, you got the license plate number of the “big white truck” so you can report the racist hate crime you witnessed and rid our society of these deplorables.

What’s worse?

The Press actually printed your letter.
