Don't worry. The fascist regime will be issuing counterfeit passes to anyone who wants one.
Really, it's racist to say that only black people can use it. /s
Real talk, every time I go home, my parents throw the word around everywhere (In their home. They suck, but aren't stupid). They justify it by saying "it's just a trashy person of any color". So I tell them to go ahead use it in public to see what the response is. I still don't think they've tried it. At least not in any circles that will get them in an ass whooping situation
"There's no right to free speech anymore. Damn wokeism."
Father in-law was throwing it around like it was nothing last Thanksgiving and we haven't been over since.
I don't play that shit.
Every time he used it, "I'm not racist" was said soon after. Sure Dan-o, interesting word choice considering.
the venn diagram of people who say "I'm not racist" and actual racists is a circle
That's a fantastic response/challenge.
Essentially: put your money where your mouth is.
Narrator: they didn't.
I hear that insane take from the same people that say BLM was Antifa’s terrorist movement.
Honestly they stole the word from white men, its just time for them to take back what rightfully belongs! /s
Already handing out rape passes, it’s only a matter of days.
It's OK they will learn all sorts of new slurs from police, ICE, border patrol, people at Walmart
fuck man... I chuckled hard. but i willingly gave that up a few years ago... didn't feel right growing up in the burbs.
I may have brain damage, but I can't see this image without hearing Morpheus' voice in my head screaming: "NEEOOOOO WAKE UP NEEEEOOO!"
NEO DID YOU PUT YOUR NAME IN THE GOBLET OF FIRE!!?
Asked Dumbledore calmly
I think that's the point
Sorry, I'm a latino, Mexicano, living in México, so I don't really have the slightest idea of how did this happen. Can someone give it a try?
EDIT: While I appreciate all of your replies, I'm even more confused as I see people mentioning "hispanic americans" as a synonym for "latino". This was an interesting read about the confusion. However, the reasons seem to be addressed against Hispanic Americans, but the meme os against Latinos. It feels a bit artificial or even prejudicial. Sorry for this edit, I'm not really sure about what I'm trying to say.
Hispanic Americans overwhelmingly voted to pull the ladder up behind them
Hispanic Americans are overwhelmingly working class, and (unlikely black people) don't see themselves as a single unified minority group, so they don't feel the sting of Republican racism pointed towards them.
Why doesn't working class matter? Because such people generally aren't as involved in following politics and policy type stuff as white collar folks. So they are swayed by other factors like masculinity signalling. This is obviously why Trump added Hulk Hogan, and of course standing up and pumping his fist after getting nicked in the ear by a terrible sniper helped too.
Yup, lets just keep pointing fingers so we never learn anything.
Liberals are literally scapegoating minorities instead of criticizing the DNC.
This is how you divide your competition.
Yeah fuck minorities! It's their fault the democrats lost and no one else's, least of all the democrats themselves!
So exhausted of the minority bashing on lemmy and other leftist/alternative social media, it was here before but it got way worse after the election. Anybody who thinks its ok to judge an entire population of peoples based on the political associations of some is fucking stupid and can fuck right off.
Didn't black males vote Trump too?
Just the zoomers with brain rot. Black voters went from like 90% to 80% Democrats.
You're probably confused because some headline said Trump doubled his support among black men and it didn't mention the baseline was 15%. Which is, ya know, fucking stupid of them in the first place but it is what it is.
The shift is kind of what's important. Actual black woman Kamala Harris couldn't maintain the same level of support among black voters as Joe "You Ain't Black" Biden. There are some pretty severe flaws in Harris's campaign strategy that we need to study and rectify in the next four years.
Man.. when I lived in Los Angeles. Latinos hated blacks, it surprised me - I heard some crazy shit that made me look like ಠ_ಠ
Nonblacks have never had an n-word pass. It's never ok.
Actually my cousin's friend Jeremy gave me a one-time pass as long as I don't tell his mom he threw rocks into Ms. Jones's garden, but aside from that I agree.
Did your cousin's friend Jeremy offer it unprompted or did you ask for that?
It was unprompted, though technically you could describe it as "under duress", your honor.
