To me means that these days you can be a dumbfuck racist but you’ll be caught and outed. I think today racists are a minority and should be scared to voice their false-to-fact opinions. We have a long way to go but when institutions fire people for racism it’s an improvement.

Trump brings renewed energy to this language. They felt protected and why not, Trump says it. Getting fired is a great reminder that Dotard Trump won't erase yrs of progress. Deplorables..

1/2 While your Tweet is technically correct, it is quite misleading. Employees of the City of Warner, Oklahoma were fired. Not employees of the City of Oklahoma City, which is vastly more well known and recognized as you have identified the entity referred to in your Tweet.

2/2 A tweet rewording and clarifying would be most appreciated.
