    this old man shot this young man for seemingly no reason

    That itself is reason enough for this story to go viral. The racial element was just the icing on the cake.

      The idea is that it wasn’t for no reason, his comments make it pretty clear he’s uncomfortable around black people. Doesn’t necessarily make him a racist but certainly a bigot though perhaps of ignorance rather than actual malice.

        If you’re uncomfortable around black ppl yes you are a racist.

          Mm arguably, you could call it tribalist, bigoted, ignorant. We can define it how we please you just lose some support you might otherwise gain by calling a spade a spade rather than a gardening implement.
