It’s happening again, the world is abandoning common sense in favor of emotional outrage.
Today’s offensive post is brought to you by Becky Macias, an American citizen whose ancestors legally migrated from Mexico. Becky speaks fluent Spanish and English. Becky has a dog, a black pitbull mix, who she loves as if it were her own child. She named her dog Negro, the Spanish word for “black.” It’s the Hispanic equivalent of naming a black animal “blackie,” just like the horse in True Grit.
One day, Negro went missing. Becky was upset, and she sent out a Tweet asking if anyone had seen him.
negro is missing???? please if anyone sees him message me!!! pic.twitter.com/mo2l760hLi

Unfortunately, the social justice warriors of today couldn’t get past the dog’s name, which is “obviously racist” in their opinion.
Becky was called a racist and criticized for naming her dog Negro.

I understand his name is “black”, but you REALLY should’ve picked a different name. I hope you find him, tho, just don’t run down the street screaming his name. ion want you to get hurt.

Fortunately, there were some people blessed with a few grains of common sense who attempted to fight back against the insanity.
Are people really mad because Rebeca’s dog’s name is Negro???? Which is spanish for the color black??????????????????my fellow NEGROES need to stop overthinking things and become a little educated instead of being “fake woke”
