Racism in surfing reared its ugly head in Florida recently.

Ah, it's another hitpiece on Florida.

Honestly, even if this were a legit "hate crime", it's so sad and pathetic that I'm more inclined to feel sorry for how much of a loser the perpetrator is.

I don’t believe this for a second. Yahoo only seems to have articles about race or lgbt when they aren’t bashing republicans. Also, the media loves any perceived incident of white on black racism and it’s been proven that they will run with a story regardless of the fact there is no evidence

Smollett wants a new board, it seems.

Board found lost at beach, good guy surfers hang board from tree so its owner can see it and get it back.

Its owner, being a racist piece of shit, assumes this was a hate crime and that he is the main character.

This is so fucking stupid.

Obvious hoax is obvious

I'll bet a hundred bucks that this enterprising fellow saw a good opportunity to trade up his old nasty looking board for a brand new one, plus a ton of other goodies and accolades all for the want of a nail.

Surfers are territorial.

And tough. If you tell them what rustles your jimmies, they're gonna use it. Not a community that's felt a great need for political correctness. They're more punks than enviroweenies.

Whatever you say Jussie...
