Discussion
Just a person attempting to bash someone for racism but overshooting severely
Thank you
Something about OP saying this to a redditor just don't sit right with me.
You forgot to use the shrug emoji. I was barely even enraged 🤷♀️.
Something about A_Bad_Man saying this to a woman just don't sit right with me 🤷♂️
Something about a redditor saying this to OP just don't sit right with me.
chat, i dont think it’s a joke but please explain
It's porn
Literally gooning.
Where's the shrug?
That chick is perpetuating racism, keeping it on life support.
Racism is definitely still alive, but she is definitely tweaking. No idea how this could ever be interpreted as racism.
There was a period of time for a couple years, where any interaction that a white person could have with a black woman could be seen as racism.
Go to anti racism rally and stand at the front = Racism
Go to anti racism rally and stand at the back = Racism
Speak at the same time as a black woman = racism
Etc etc
They probably thought that a white woman daring to educate a black woman on something was racist because white women should never tell black women anything otherwise it holds up systems of white supremacy or something
? This is a completely made up scenario you commented lol
White people stand in front = white people centering themselves = racist
White people stand in back = white people not doing enough = racist
White people speaking at the same time as a black woman being racist happened so many times and is currently happening right now where the Unfuck America tour has been blown up because the creator spoke over a black woman in a live chat and is being labelled as racist
Yeah like I said this is a completely imagined stance on the perception of white racism. Like at worst some clearly non neurotypical POC might say something or accuse something, but it’s nowhere near the actual institutionalized racism POC face.
So acting as if this is some massive struggle for white people is delulu but clearly I think you know that.
I give you examples of exactly what I said happens, happening RIGHT NOW, and your response is "this is completely imagined" and then move the goalposts onto another pitch entirely to argue with yourself about something I never gave a stance on
You're goofy I don't need to respond again lmfao
Because you’re acting as if some niche event that 98 percent of people have never heard of is an example of virulent racism. The only one goofy here is you. Read a freaking book and realize that if you’re basing your views on an echo chamber your worldview is going to be inherently flawed.
Especially since most slave owners weren’t kings and didn’t sit on thrones…
Understatement
Someone doing this on the internet? Couldn't be!
Welcome to the Internet
Yes, I'd like a large order of fries and a large frosty. that's it.
Have a look around
Anything that brain of yours can think of can be found
Have a look around
Something about OP asking for the answer to this just don't sit right with me🤷♂️
It's not a joke. It feels like rage bait. But there is stupid people who can only see every interaction in life thru the lense of racism.
Sometimes you put on your race glasses and forget to take them off.
I think this post (the reddit post) is rage bait. Whether or not the original post is rage bait is unknowable since the context has been removed. The person saying the show is "game of thrones" could have been making a joke because the show was not actually game of thrones and the person responding could have just been playing into the joke in some way. We have no idea what the post is actually about but people love getting offended by people that are overly offended, so that's the only way they can see it.
Mostly it’s just bots on the internet sowing discord.
Dead Internet theory in action???
I often called called whitey even though I'm pretty tan and mostly Puerto Rican and dress in undershirts and shorts a lot. I get very upset when someone white tries to label me white because I'm a lighter skin Puerto Rican. A lot of leftist people try to measure my Spanish heritage and cultural amount. Totally passes me off. Plus, people get annoyed at me for not wanting to be socialist when my family left Puerto Rico because of socialism and fascism.
my family left Puerto Rico because of socialism and fascism.
Lol what? Puerto Rico is part of the United States, literally the most anti-socialist country on Earth. You would know this if if you're actually from Puerto Rico
Victims.... am I right?!
There's difference between being a victim and being an idiot/asshole.
Id pay alot to understand how this kind of women brains function
One’s and zero’s. Apparently a bot or rage bait from what others are saying. If this is true, i’d pay money NOT to understand how that brain works, tho.
Hahahaha, I never know when to use them. Love the meme, btw.
Use them to show ownership or forming a contraction.
How much? I can explain at the right price
I can explain it incorrectly for the wrong price.
How about I pay you -100 dollars for your incorrect explanation?
10milli.
It doesn't
Ever been really obsessed with something? That's basically it.
But why? It wouldn't be worth the money? What would you do with that knowledge? Oh, I guess you could sell shit to them...
I understand it a lot more after I watched this video. If you go through life constantly getting little “innocent” comments mixed with occasional(frequent for some) very really experiences with aggressive racism they experience throughout life. Some folks process it differently and it doesn’t build up, but for many it does.
If you get bit by one mosquito, it’s annoying but not a big deal. If you get bit by 100 mosquitoes every day, that might cause some frustration.
Plus, intersectionality comes in to play with different parts of a person’s life that bring different negative social interactions into their life.
I’m. It an expert, but I try my best to understand.
I definitely see enough racism in the world to justify anyones reaction to it. But in this particular case I'm still not seeing something to react to? Do you see something I'm missing, or are you responding to the greater point?
No, this case was definitely an overshoot, unless there is something I need to learn about. Sometimes when the irritation builds up and you feel like you can’t take anymore, you can lash out erroneously.
Source: I’m trans and I know there are times when dysphoria and depression are going strong. I normally power through or joke about the comments, looks, glares, shouts, and threats I get when out in public. But… every once in a while all of that builds up and I accidentally react to someone harshly who meant me no harm. I try to apologize when I can, but it’s that state of hyper vigilance that people of oppressed groups like BIPOC and LGBTQ+. I’m not a person of color, but I know that in my community, Black trans femmes are most at risk because of intersecting factors in their lives.
Maybe they meant that experiencing constant microagressions is driving people crazy and they start see racial dynamics in every interraction? It's like PTSD in a way, you're getting constantly paranoid and overreact to things like firecrackers confusing them with gunshots.
Damn, after typing that I felt sorry for a few women I encountered on Reddit that seemed psychotic over the topic of gender wars. Probably had some tough shit in their lives that made them act that way.
For a lot of people it isn't just like PTSD. This is c-PTSD/complex PTSD, which comes around from sustaining thousands of small traumas rather than one big traumatic event. This is what happens to people experiencing abusive relationships, bullies, bigotry...they largely present the same as I understand it
Yes, maybe I didn't worded it very well. I had CPTSD in mind when I was writing that. I have it myself, so it's easier to empathize with other people's experiences with that. Sometimes it really makes you act irrationally cause you expect bad things to happen only cause they've happened to you in the past.
I believe the bottom comment is from another post, but it was added to this mundane exchange for humor.
The woman believes that the white woman is being condescending to the black woman. In reality nothing is wrong and she ironically said something that supports segregation
Some people (the third person) can't help but make everything racist. There was nothing racist in the interaction, in the slightest. But the third person decided to make it racist for no reason.
Something about a white person asking what this is about on this subreddit just doesn't sit right with me, smh
Appropriate reaction to mention of Game of Thrones
Just a sad display of racism
I think it’s an anti joke. The joke is it isn’t racism. It just doesn’t land right depending on the audience.
Was it actually game of thrones? Or was it a borderline joke?
It's whitesplaining
What she should have said to avoid being problematic:
“Sorry, I’m not going to answer a question from a black woman”
Chat is this real
For starters, she doesn't know how to spell woman. She's a bit slow in her development.
It could just be a crazy person. But it feels more like meta irony; a deliberately absurd parody of other people who see microagressions everywhere.
satire
The person doesn't even know the difference between "women" and "woman"...
We're missing some important context here. Something about the "game of thrones" answer was very funny - check out the likes relative to the rest of this chain.
Looks like someone removed whatever context there was
The red hair lady should seek some help
Using the plural "women" when speaking about one woman is a cherry on top of this idiot cake
What kinda fucking escalation was that?
Dunno how people - especially women! - can’t use the word ‘women’ right - it’s ‘a woman’, not ‘a women’. Not just a typing thing either. I see it handwritten all the time.
The joke is the last commenter's education.
Something about the epstein list don't sit right with me
If you don't get it then you've got it. The girl isn't making any sense. She's too woke to function.
bottom woman is racist
Person 3 doesn't think white people should talk to back people, even if answering a simple question. No joke here, just a racist dumbass
An actual racist accusing someone of racism.
Just a racist person trying to start shit over absolutely nothing
I might be wrong but I feel like people really don't criticise such people much who just turn everything to race.
I saw a reaction compilation of kenobi show in which grand inquisitor says to reva that she is 'the least of us', and then a guy says 'seems weird that you say it to a black woman'.
This comment in the post might be ragebait but there genuinely exist people like this.
Black people being racists af
pretty sure the third person is white
Is it bad that I understood the joke even though it felt deaf on most here below. The black [Afro American] person asking "what show is this?" can be understood as asking about high society from where they are excluded from, the white [Not sure about the specific race] person say "Games of throne" can be interpreted as saying this is higher echelon of society where people of the other [Black] community are excluded from. Showing elitism and the third person interpreating it in a racist way [Most likely a joke]
OP, so your post is not removed, please reply to this comment with your best guess of what this meme means! Everyone else, this is PETER explains the joke. Have fun and reply as your favorite fictional character for top level responses!
