New Jersey school board candidate called Black people ‘animals’ and ‘useless wastes of life’

I leave it to Derec to enlighten us as to why this isn't racism....

Richard Jankowski, a 51-year-old candidate in Monroe Township, Gloucester County, made the comments on Facebook from 2013 to 2016, according to a report from the New Jersey Globe. Jankowski’s posts were all public, meaning anyone could see them.
“Glad the legal system finally got it right,” Jankowski wrote in July 2013, a day after George Zimmerman was acquitted of all charges for killing Travyon Martin, a Black unarmed teenager.
Jankowski added that he hopes the NFL suspends all the players who tweeted about the verdict. “Call me a racist if you want but I’m a realist… YOU are the racists and the problems with this country, if you don’t like being profiled, start being productive members of society or get the hell out of this country.”
A year later, he criticized the protests in Ferguson, Missouri, after a white cop shot and killed Michael Brown, another unarmed Black teenager. At the time, the militarized police response to the Ferguson protests unsettled people across the country. Jankowski, however, was more interested in the instances of looting, calling the protesters “animals.”
“Hats off to the residents of Ferguson, Missouri … once again you animals showed your stupidity and ignorance by looting and burning businesses in your own town because a shoplifting kid who assaulted a cop was shot … act like a law abiding citizen and this crap never happens!,” he wrote in August 2014.
Four days later, he wrote again, “You are not Americans, you are animals who disgust me. … Get a f—— job and contribute you useless wastes of life instead of constantly committing crimes and protesting when you get what you deserve.”
During the protests in April 2015 in Baltimore, Maryland — after 25-year-old Freddie Gray died in the back of a police car — Jankowski said it was “time to start firing bullets into these fucking monkeys and send them to their grave.”

He didn't call black people in general "animals", but looters and rioters. Big difference. What he wrote may not be politically correct (he said that the Z verdict was correct, omg!!!!11!!1!!!1!!!one) but compare and contrast what he wrote with Sarah Jeong, who also wrote social media posts years ago, but hers were directed against all white people with no restrictions or conditions.

However, Sarah Jeong got away with them because she was racist against the race one is allowed to be racist against.
