And now radflakes have an actual death on their hands:

That article may have glossed over details I'm unaware of but it sounds like he never made a public apology about the alleged incident. If there's something people should learn in communications class, it's that you sometimes have to swallow your pride and apologize over a perceived slight instead of doubling down. It's unfortunate that he ended up committing suicide but he kept on doubling down and escalating what otherwise may have been a manageable situation.
Blaming this on radflakes reminds me of Bill O'Reilly blaming the recent high-profile murder in San Francisco on Obama. I have no idea how you arrived at that conclusion in any way other than desperation to pin something on a group you have a vendetta against.
Wait, are you saying it was his fault?
And I'd say this is a pretty clear-cut case of
exactly that happening. Some radflake gets offended and starts a smear campaign, leading him to commit suicide. Really, this reminds me of homophobes cyberbullying gay people and driving them to suicide.
Besides, he was an older guy who didn't keep up with internet culture, and from suicide note he emphasized how he had fought against racism his entire life.
I'd assume he was a decent person, and had made the "label" of anti-racist an essential part of his identity. Then he got attacked for being "racist" by a new internet phenomenon that doesn't care even the slightest bit about such things as "evidence", and he thought their allegations had actual validity because of inexperience with them, and took them as valid attacks on what he considered a core of his identity.
The woman's passive-aggressive non-apology was just the icing on the cake.
For years I have experienced discrimination in Israel. On the only occasion in which I told my story a man was hurt. There is no one more sorry than me. If I could (go back), I would have remained silent this time as well.
Assuming the translation accurately captures what she meant, "I would have remained silent this time as well" implies that her not saying anything would have been yet another chapter in the story of brave black women being silenced in order to keep the white (or white-ish) man happy.
