In this circumstance, I ask myself how a career media professional could have been so stupid as to direct that at a black person on the internet but here we are...

The first three lines (before the ape bit) are a pretty much perfect description of someone arguing on the internet. Maybe that's what made him overlook the implications of the last line. (applying Hanlon's Razor here)

Pier Morgan manager to do well being a racist cunts tho.

Racists are stupid. But stupid doesn't necessarily mean someone is racist. I agree, I don't understand how someone so experienced could make a mistake like that but likewise, I don't believe that he'd have done it intentionally as it's so blatant and in a public forum.

At a guess, it's because humans tend not to think as much as they should and tend to assume the best of themselves when communicating with people.
I.e a non racist privileged white guy may well not consider for a moment that anything they say might be racist.
What would be nice one in a while, is for one of the guys who do something like this to say "fuck me, what I said was really racist and I'm extremely sorry for saying it" rather than try to claim that it wasn't racist.

Tis possible to say or do a racist thing without being a racist I suppose.
