As soon as these successful White Women start bringing up race, racial hardships and race relations...I'm out. To speculate that the girl said "I hope that n-word dies" is despicable. stick to reporting the facts and not hearsay. so sad you Women continue to go down this road.

There's no such thing as racially motivated crimes.

I like the episode, but I would suggest not race baiting. Saying things like “of course it’s white people who don’t agree”. Imagine if you said “of course it’s black people who don’t agree” or “of course it’s Hispanics who don’t agree”. Maybe leave your opinions out of it if you dislike white people. I’m so tired of hearing about racism both ways.
