Black Lives Matter thread

some people have no sense of humor:

But some people DO:

I'm ordering one online this afternoon:

It's not the black olives fault man!! It's poverty! It's the America created by the evil green olives! Those green devils!

^^^This guy gets it.

Cant wait till i get this delivered. I am so going to piss some people off.

Be careful though, that shirt would be a legit hazard to your safety if you wore it in the wrong neighborhood. I mean yes it's sad that in this day and age that is a thing that can still be said about any neighborhood.

I think i'll be okay.

They haven't invented the liberal arts student that can take down Riv.

^^^True.

It'd look like the "you brute" scene in Blazing Saddles...

Perhaps, but I certainly wouldn't walk down the street in a Chicago ghetto wearing that t-shirt.

Then again I wouldn't walk down the street in a Chicago ghetto period.

But also don't diss a liberal arts student. I'm guessing paint in your eyes wouldn't be fun. They could also jab you really hard with the handle of a paintbrush. Or they could distract you with one of those pictures where you have to stare at it for several minutes straight before you see the hidden picture and then they steal your wallet while you are looking. You see they need money because their college degree's are pretty much worthless.

Art isn't included in liberal arts as far as I know 😛

No dude they use it for creativity. If they actually concentrated on actual art they could probably have decent career choices.

That is just me though and my experience with those types.

Liberal Art....Aint that when some LIBERAL Weenie takes a crap on a pic of Rush Limbaugh?

^^^Haha

That is some good hypocrisy. Now if some white college students put up a notice for room mates and it said "white people only" I wonder what would happen?

They'd get white roommates, duh. 🙄

This is interesting:

I was going to reply with a widely circulating story about a Harvard frat slipping a message under doors that said "Jews need not apply. Seriously, no jews! Colored's ok."

The stories claimed to interview students who were turned away at the door, for not being the "right type."

I can't find them anymore. A google search of the bigoted message, word for word, doesn't dedge up the news sites. Instead, there's two stories about a fake frat and letters sent in "obvious satire."

So who did they interview, that was turned away from a non existant frat?

Fabricated stories that got pulled when all the facts came in, I'm thinking. Wish I'd saved those articles. 😂

So you don't think black students would throw a fit over this if whites did it? In this age of safe spaces and SJW's on campus?

Lol a lot of these things turn out to be hoaxes when it comes to colleges. However in this case the racists in question have come out to defend their racism so it seems legit.

I am beginning to think you do not know what hypocrisy means.

You are right of course that the racist blacks being racist isn't hypocrisy that is racism, so I can see how the wording of my post made it seem that way. The hypocrisy comes in at the size of the outrage seen as opposed to the outrage we'd see if whites did it.

Do you need anything else explained?

Not all racism is equal though. eg There's a differece between being called a racial slur from some random on the street compared to say a large business having a history of systematically not hiring people because of their skin color.
