Sexist, racist and all-around bigot Gavin McInnes found a black man to endorse his racism, saying that not only is racism not a problem today, but that racism has never actually existed because it’s a “made-up word.” And that man, of course, is the incredibly ridiculous Jesse Lee Peterson.





McInnes asked Peterson, “It’s 2018 in America, does racism exist?” “Absolutely not and it has never existed,” Peterson replied. “It is a made-up word.”

Psst, Jesse. I’m gonna let you in on a little secret: All words are made up. Every single word that has ever existed was made up. All language itself was made up. This is something that pretty much anyone who isn’t a moron already knows. Sorry if you aren’t in that category.

Peterson went on to claim that an iconic photograph captured while police in Birmingham, Alabama, unleashed dogs on black people protesting for civil rights “was just a protest.” He also claimed that segregated drinking fountains weren’t racist, but rather “it was a law that was brought about by the Democrats.”

Psst, Jesse. I’m gonna let you in on another little secret: You didn’t actually say anything meaningful here. It’s not an either/or situation, it can be both a law and be racist. Lots of laws were and are racist. And how in the world a black man can claim that whites-only fountains, put in place because white people hated black people so much that they couldn’t stand the thought of even drinking out of the same faucet as them, are not racist is beyond my ability to understand. How utterly deluded does one have to be? How thoroughly committed would you have to be to being a mental slave to make such a claim?

“Have you ever picked cotton?” Peterson asked McInnes. “No sir,” McInnes said. “You have not lived until you’ve picked cotton,” Peterson said. “It’s fun. It makes a man out of you.”

Jesus H. Christ on a popsicle stick. How does this man look in a mirror? Seriously, how?
