Did you maybe think their family names all start with "K" or something, perhaps? Maybe so much as it being how friends and family refer to them?

u/Ok_Support3 5d ago
Then wouldn't it make more sense to just put KK~ oh.

u/russellvt 5d ago
The weird irony is I literally know families where it seems every member of the household and immediate family has a name that starts with the letter K.

Do they have a racist license plate, too? All of these “what about”-isms are exhausting

u/russellvt 4d ago
Actually, they have several ... and I'm sure some idiot(s) likely take them wrong, as well (just like our own vanity plate tends to cause people in muscle cars (in-particular) to drive like idiots).

As stupid as it sounds its not any stupider than this being meant to be racist, it could be someone bragging about having 3 thousand dollars, could be in honor to 3 people who all had K names, it could be someone who REALLY REALLY likes Ketamine, Thousands, and something else that starts with or could be abbreviated as K, theres so many different explanations, it doesnt HAVE to be racist, and honestly, it seems like youre kinda racist for trying to see it as racist

If he wanted to do THEKKK he had space for it. I’m doubtful that this is a klan reference.
I did go verify. Thekkk is both allowed and available with the spartan fundraiser plate right now.

Why wait? Car is right there. Use your imagination for a second, instead of making excuses to not fight racism.

Put it this way:
If we see someone hitting their wife, hurting animals, or being openly racist in a public space, I cannot speak about what we are supposed to do since it is against Reddit TOS.

u/Gibberish45 5d ago
Two of those 3 things are violence and may warrant physical force to protect others from violence. Being “openly racist” is disgusting but not a valid reason to engage in violence. It’s an abhorrent and wrong belief but it’s his right to believe whatever he wants. He’s already being shamed online for the license plate and somehow I don’t think this person is concerned with the attention since he chose to put it on his plate
Unless you’re advocating to use violence against someone for expressing their beliefs, I think you should take a step back and look at what you’re actually saying here

u/underprivlidged 5d ago
"Being “openly racist” is disgusting but not a valid reason to engage in violence"
Hard disagree. Racism has killed literally millions of people. They can think whatever they want, and get their consequences for being a piece of shit.
1 Nazi sits and a table with 9 men - there are 10 Nazis at the table. Instead of allowing them peace of mind, act. Don't act? You are just as bad as the racist.
6
u/Gibberish45 5d ago
Yea except I think “acting” would mean equal actions. If the person is espousing racist views, you denounce them and then ignore them.
Now if this person being “openly racist” involves violence of any kind, then sure it would be appropriate to use force to prevent the violence.
No one should be assaulted for having the wrong ideas, this is a fundamentally unamerican concept

u/underprivlidged 5d ago
"No one should be assaulted for having the wrong ideas, this is a fundamentally unamerican concept"
It isn't a "wrong idea' to weaponize bigotry on a scale where people's rights are stripped away AT BEST. You do realize the KKK still lynches people to this day? The president is inciting violence against anyone who even resembles an Hispanic, and pays the bigots to do it.
So, no. I will not concede a fucking thing - bigots DO NOT DESERVE TO LIVE. America is for everyone. Either accept that or get the fuck on the next train to hell.

u/Gibberish45 5d ago
This is an extreme take. You’re telling me that every person with racist thoughts wants to murder other races or reduce them to second class citizens? It’s just not how it is. Racism, like everything else, is on a spectrum. I think you and I are picturing completely different things this hypothetical racist may be doing.
The point however is that you do not combat ideas with violence. That makes you the bad guy. The racist is already bad guy too but in this scenario you’ve escalated to violence simply because you disagree with their position. You cannot fail to see this if you’re a human being
No one is actually arguing to take rights away from any ethnic group and racism in the legal system and policing has nothing to do with the average joe who may hold some prejudiced beliefs.
Now if he’s acted like that douche chud the builder it’s much more justifiable because he deliberately trying to escalate to violence.

u/Bulky_Mix_2265 5d ago
Its a hard cock to suck indeed, they want you to engage in violence to justify their belief. That being said i also do not see a nonviolent solution to our endemic racism.
But if we are talking things that have led to violence, religion would like to enter the chat.

Instead of being a lazy fuck online making excuses as to why you refuse to fight racism, maybe kiss my ass first.

You are the one talking about being an exboxer and mocking people for not getting physical. So go knock the guy out yourself if you're so big and tough🙄. But we both know you are just talking big and don't really do that. You're just lashing out at others for not doing it for you 😂

You are way too complacent with openly racist people and that is why they continue to be openly racist.

Just because you won't doesn't mean people shouldn't.
I am so glad whenever someone mentions anything, the most absolute fringe case demands to be the expected norm.
Like, cool, you weigh less than a dog. No one asked YOU to run up on them, did they? This is a societal issue, and what is great about society is - it is made up on tons of people. Not just wet noodles.

Sadly, "public embarrassment" has long failed to be any sort of motivator for populations, anymore ... otherwise most all of the "bad behavior" we witness wouldnt be as common as it is...

u/jnthnmdr 5d ago
Racist being shunned by society doesn't sound like much of a punishment. Likely, it's exactly what they want. To be left alone.

u/russellvt 5d ago
Probably.
Though I'm old enough to remember when "getting called out" by peers or elders actually meant something to a family.

Hm... Good point. Nowadays, we have contactless everything. So, being alone is easier than ever.

Not just embarrassment, but fired from jobs, and ostracized by family and friends.
Everyone is free to think what they want, but not free from the consequences of their ignorance.

Keyboard warriors are almost as much of a scourge as the ills they lambast.
This persons first thought was to take a picture and run to Reddit, it’s plenty fine to ask if there’s actually follow through here.
Meanwhile race based reasoning is fine by many as long as they think they are doing something. It’s fucking bonkers.

I don’t know if humans look at it and a creative enough person can beat a computer filter. I doubt a simple computer filter would have caught this.
Heck as a human glancing at this it took me to keep looking before I realized what it meant.

About as conservative red state as it gets.
Actually a real honest to god independent because both parties fucking suck, and this callout makes me think you don’t give a damn about your country but would default to some bullshit over being an American.
But the point stands, your intellectual forebearers didn’t view my scotch Irish ancestors as white and tried to intimidate Catholics of all fucking people. The KKK are a bunch of fucking losers, and that’s coming from a white, hunts and shoots, red blooded, farm raised American male. Fuuuuuck the KkK, fuck the democrats, fuck the republicans, and fuck race based decision making.

Nope, calling it like it is.
Don’t be a coward, stay on topic here and have a reply that’s actually got some substance. Once again, the KKK is scum. People that advocate for them without being them are probably worse because they lack the courage of their convictions. Conflating whiteness with the KKK is moronic.
Just to be clear, I’m about as red blooded American stereotype as it gets and I’m saying that unequivocally, without nuance or compromise, the KKK are scum and can fuck all the way off. No character flaw of undue anger, just a sober honest truthfulness.

Just offering an alternative explanation…
So I used to work with one of the guys who started the Three Kingdoms MUD (multi-user dungeon — ask your weird uncle who plays MMORPGs now), and he lives in the Lansing area (Michigan State University is in East Lansing, and that’s their Spartans logo on that plate). The URL for the three kingdoms MUD is and always has been 3k.org.
That might be his truck.
Edit: to be clear, I’m not suggesting this person I know is a racist at all. I’m saying that if this is his truck, he’s just a clueless nerd who is still really into his game.
