yeah, the letter is ofc super racist, but full of internet slang. Something someone on r/thedonald would type. Not really sure if a parent wrote this

You don't think parents have the internet? Or what?

What did y'all think make America great again meant?

THese are parents to young kids, so they can range from 20s to 40s. They should be internet literate.

These aren’t super old folks lol.

I remember that thread I read on gaf where the wife discovered her husband was an internet troll. He was married and had kids. In his 30s as I recall. But even his wife threatening to leave him wasn't enough to get him to stop telling teens online to kill themselves.

Parents can be just as shitty as anybody.

Even if it wasn't a parent, seems likely it's somebody close by, possibly a relative. It doesn't frakin matter really.

 

[Bishop89]

fucking scum.

What a shit-stain on this world

it reads like whoever wrote this, and we can safetly assume it's a really shitty person, doesn't take it seriously either. It lacks the self-righteousness you would expect, it's written to offend

 

[Mega Caprison]

Fucking scum

Borrow it from the wolfenstein 2 thread

 

[ElectricKaibutsu]

That... That can't be real. It reads like a parody. I fully believe in the racism angle, but the letter itself... The mortgage and making the daycare great again? Really?

I can't believe that PS. It's too on the nose. Throw me in the conspiracy theorist false flag camp on this one.

 

[BlueLiquid]

Racists are such cowards. Why don’t you sign your name, cretin?

All the day care needs to do is stand by their employee (which they are) and wait and see who pulls their kids out. But that's assuming that the cowardly passive-aggressive POS who wrote this has the spine to follow through.

 

[plagiarize]

This is the perfect example of why "it's just a joke" doesn't work with racist jokes. It is still meant to hurt a minority. It still normalizes hateful stereotypes.

It's no less shitty or abhorrently racist as a troll.

 

[LumpOfCole]

My response would be to throw patriotism back in their face. Just print out a copy of the Declaration of Independence with “all men are created equal” highlighted and just make that the response. I have a feeling that the person who wrote this letter thinks they are a patriot, and would probably get fairly butthurt to see evidence of them being a terrible American.

 

[nekkid]

Was it written by one of the kids, or did he/she uncheck spellcheck?

That’s not a good excuse for poor grammar/spelling.

 

[zeemumu]

The fact that they had to send the letter anonymously should have been an indicator that they're in the wrong.

Wasn't that a southpark episode?

Like how does a false flag work in this scenario? What is there to gain from somebody having the opposite views, doing this? I mean nothing gets done, all that happens is a woman is degraded and children are scared and also now in danger, by the way.

I don't get it. I can't believe that somebody that isn't racist wrote this, and even if somehow this did happen, they are what they think they are not.

Wasn't that a southpark episode?

Lol yes, but it was also real, and before that episode. Doing a quick google search I believe this is it:

[Always-honest]

Wow.. is this real? Cowards. Disgusting.

 

[RustyNails]

"Make daycare great again"

There it is. This right here is the answer to a years worth of questions about Trump supporters and racism, and this person answered it all for us. Make America Great Again is nothing but a code language that was designed to appeal to racists. In their mind, it meant Make America Jim Crow Again.

 

[Koomaster]

Sign the letter next time you fucking coward! Make yourselves known if you aren't ashamed and embarrassed to call yourself human, you fucking scum!

 

[Trickster]

Christ on a pogo stick that is an ugly ass font. What is wrong with this person?

Is anyone saying It's a joke? Lots of us are saying it's a fake attempt to create evidence of racism - a false flag. As if we needed it.

Its evidence of racism whether the person intended it to be or not. It targets an individual in a very cruel way because of their race. Whatever the goal, this person was thought of as less than a regular person.

Whatever the political leanings of the person who wrote it, it his horrendously racist.

 

[GhostTrick]

This can't be serious right ?
I mean the font, the spelling, the "Make your daycare great again".
It's one of the stupidest and dumbest racist stuff I ever saw. This reads like a parody.

Yep. I have a harder time imagining that some liberal targeted a random day care because they woke up one day and thought "you know, today I'm going to be racist and destroy the life of a Black woman so I can prove racism is real".

I find it much more likely it's a shitty racist person trying to sound edgy or that it's a parent that is a true believer.

Yeah, but joke or not, I would imagine the daycare worker feeling terrible.

 

[soundscream]

Im almost more offended by the font choice.

 

[ILoveMcChickens]

Can't win with these fuckhead racists. Be gainfully employed and people will go out of their way to try and have you fired; not be employed and they'll call you a welfare leech.

Yeah I feel like this has to be a troll. I don't want to believe people are this stupid.

 

[BriGuy]

I hope they identify the person who sent it. First of all because this shit needs to be called out whenever and wherever it happens, but also so I can see just how close this guy comes to the impression I have made for him in my mind.

 

[DrZeus]

Mental illness is a real issue in this country.

 

[Betty]

I think it's by a troll, seems too stupid and lighthearted and wrong to be written by an actual parent.

 

[GhostTrick]

Yeah, but joke or not, I would imagine the daycare worker feeling terrible.

Joke or not, it's totally unacceptable.

 

[plagiarize]

Make daycare great again could either be a red herring for a racist liberal to further hide who they really are or a Trump supporter who hears that slogan as "Make America White Again". I don't see why someone who is A: a Trump supporter and B: racist, would think that line was too much compared to everything else in the letter.

"We won the election and it is now our country again" is a very real sentiment I have seen people express without hesitation.

I think it's by a troll, seems too stupid and lighthearted and wrong to be written by an actual parent.

Because parents can't be stupid?

Because racist idiots don't ever have children they put in daycare?

What?

 

[Master Yoshi]

I didn't find the reason that the lady demanded the girl be fired. Where was it? Where was the reason?

 

[III-V]

Doesn't read like a joke to me. I would take this at face value. Yes people are that racist and most people understand the MAGA dogwhistle really infers.

Yeah it comes across as ridiculous to us that aren't racist POSs, but it was just last night that a group of grown ass men stood in a protest shouting "you will not replace us" "you will not erase us"
This shit has true believers and it's dangerous to think it's all just for the lolz.

 

[akileese]

Yeah I feel like this has to be a troll. I don't want to believe people are this stupid.

You should because they exist. People here need to stop dismissing this as trolling as if it somehow diminishes the words of that letter. It doesn't matter of it's middle schoolers trolling or (more likely) some racist idiotic parents. This attitude and behavior is unacceptable and needs to be punished.

 

[Betty]

Because parents can't be stupid?

Just reads like a teenage, alt-right, 4 chan browsing idiot wrote it, I guess I hope it is anyway.

 

[BlueTsunami]

This is why name and shaming these asshole is super effective. Wish there was a way to find out who wrote it so we can skip to the part where she has to delete all her social media and becomes a social pariah as her job.

 

[excelsiorlef]

I think it's by a troll, seems too stupid and lighthearted and wrong to be written by an actual parent.

Nothing about that is lighthearted

 

[Jumeira]

That is depressing reading, that's actually taken the wind out of my sails. How is this form of thought being inked onto paper then passed on? Especially to a daycare center in 2017? I can see racism is being repackaged as a legitimate view point by racists based on "identity" (especially in Europe) and we're not doing enough to shut it down & abolish it intellectually, i mean describing this problem as "being divided" is pretty reckless, division infers a view point is within acceptable parameters, racism isnt a valid position in any form.

 

[Sanojio]

Doesn't read like a joke to me. I would take this at face value. Yes people are that racist and most people understand the MAGA dogwhistle really infers.

I don’t understand why so many people want to break a lance and not call it what it is. This is not a fucking joke.

 

[Glass Shark]

Shit like this should be a fucking hate crime

[Red Arremer]

You'd be surprised. The bf of one of my close friends got fired from a daycare for being gay. It happens. Whenever kids are involved, people seem to go utterly insane in their prejudices and think it's perfectly fine to be bigoted as fuck because "won't somebody think of the children?!".

You can't shut it down intellectually because it's not based in intellect or logic. It's almost like religion.

This. The fuck. I'm 37. My kid is in daycare. I' know all about you kids memes.

 

[tapedeck]

That letter reads like parody....I cannot believe someone actually wrote that being 100% serious....I feel dirty after reading it.

 

[shintoki]

So basically, if the parent removes their kid. They know exactly who sent it then.

Do people even think this shit out? Write a dumbass racist letter with a threat, anonymously. Except the threat of removing your kid can't be done anonymous.

 

[Shadybiz]

I find that racism and cowardice typically go hand in hand, so it's no surprise they sent it anonymously

It's one of the stupidest and dumbest racist stuff I ever saw. This reads like a parody.

The people who voted for the president loved his slogan. Liberals had fun with it, but it was a giant dog whistle those folks loved to be able to use instead of being "openly" racist. I'm doing this for my country, not cause you're brown and different.
