Okay, even as a racist, what’s the point? Is it supposed to instill fear? Is it like giving someone the middle finger? Is it amusing to try to get away with something that’s not socially acceptable?

I seriously don’t get it. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Racists are ignorant people. You don't get it because you're not a racist.

I mean yeah. I don’t get it either but I can’t pretend to understand her mindset. Maybe she thought it would create fear or maybe she knew it would make the news so she was excited about that. Mental illness could be a factor as well.
