I know it's a joke

Sure

Will say there's a difference between being a racist and saying racist things and that it may not have been a racially motivated attack, however, if you're spewing shit like that whilst abusing a white man then you can't blame people for thinking it.

imo it may not have been racially motivated however what they were committing was a hate crime. If whitey were to do the same thing to a member of a different race then it would also probaly be perceived as a hate crime. It was also an attack involving racism so it was a racist attack, wether it was meant ironically or not

Uh, if whitey were doing it, they probably wouldn't actually get jail time.

Bollocks.

Same goes for Memphis and Ryoki/PuFF, namsayn?

Only what Memph posts is obviously meant with irony. I don't think Memph has abused anyone ?. I even said those fuckos might've meant the racism ironically it's just the actions were supporting what was coming out of their mouth. You can't spot the racist without determining someones intentions because that's where real racism is - inside the mind, anyone can be politically correct, even genuine racists.

I like Regi D Hunters line - "Any word with hate behind it can be racist".

Seeing the sub-title, I reckon the rest of the article is drenched in sarcasm and irony.

edit:
Ok memphis, just read the goddamn article in its entirety instead of fueling your racist self with more hatred funneled through bite-sized info snacks from 4chan or reddit.

The tl;dr is basically this:
the app was created not entirely seriously but to make a comment on social issues surrounding income and inequality of wealth. It's a way to make a, sometimes rather intangible issue less abstract and get the discussion going. The creator of the app (apparently a professional comedian) is using the term "fun" more than once in relation to the idea behind the app. So no, this isn't some matriarchal, BLM kind of anti-white-people thing. In fact, the app comes with a built-in "protest" feature to let the creator know how much of a dick you think he is.

This is the most German reaction to a joke I have ever seen

[Don Carlos]

Which is amazing as he is Dutch

[seremtan]

*want to comment on inequality*
*make app*
*want to do something about it in public office*
*go fuck yourself* *muh taxes* etc

I know it's a joke mofo, just a somewhat self-aware one viewed via that snippet. thatstheotherjoke.jpg

If someone seriously thinks that anyone should by default pay more on a bill than anyone else, simply because of their skin colour and gender, then it is they who are racist and sexist. Innit?

The fact that people are having a hard time telling if you're joking, or think something's a joke, should be very telling. Now everybody just thinks you're a dick.

[Captain]

Most people don't think about him at all.

[Transient]

I think about him. And you.

[Captain]

Without pants I hope

[Transient]

Oh, I never post with pants on.

[Don Carlos]

Neither - it's just incredibly difficult to guage tone and mood over text when you try and be 'subtle' about things.

That and you just post bucket loads of conflicting shit which further muddies the water.

[MKJ]

Oh, I never post with pants on.

What can I say? I'm either that good, or folks are that dumb

Not really. It's just a childish conversational technique, you've been using it for a while now. Post shock messages, get responses, do not engage in conversation about substance but instead post another (sometimes polar opposite) shock message. It very much invites but frustratingly makes impossible any meaningful interaction with you on anything, the end result is that you're mostly in control of the 'conversation'. As a side effect you indeed come across as a dick and accomplish very little else. Glad to hear it makes you feel smarter than the rest of us i guess, that's nice for you.

Oh, I never post with pants on.

to be fair, the next four years starting on Friday is going to be simultaneously sad but also comedy gold

What can I say? I'm either that good, or folks are that dumb

With the huffpost thing, it was absolutely positively impossible to tell whether or not you had read the entire article (which I highly doubt, seeing as you linked the (might I add: conveniently cropped) pic off of Reddit). You insinuated Huffpost had lost its mind and fell into some sort of misguided SJW extremist category and didn't add an ounce of information that accurately reflected the true essence of the article or the app itself. With the way you've positioned yourself in public opinion, the only singular conclusion that could be drawn was that you were again vomiting your disgust all over the SJW-ness of Huffpost/the app in a supposed tongue-in-cheek way.

The fact that you then, when this is more or less pointed out to you, come to the conclusion that either you must be brilliant or we must be dumb, tells me that you are completely out of touch with yourself and might just as well be the misogynistic racist asshole that you try not to be.

[Eraser]

Yeah so you see how that's utterly confusing? You spew out anti-SJW post after anti-SJW post but then you go and post, without context, something that looks extremely tailored to make Huffington Post look SJW and somehow it should be obvious that you are applauding them for not being SJW.

To me it can be either one of two things:
1 - You have no idea how little sense you make, how inconsistent you are and (last but not least) how little of a fuck people give about crap like this (hence not knowing about the supposed SJW-ness of HuffPost), or;
2 - You're trying to weasel yourself out of a bad spot.

[Transient]

Can't it be both? I can see it being both.

[Eraser]

True

[Eraser]

Uh, yeah, what's your point here? I'm not contradicting myself.
You didn't paraphrase the article, nor give a well thought out opinion about it. In fact, you didnt even post a link to the article. You posted a screengrab off of Reddit which was edited in such a way that, without context, could easily be interpreted as an anti-HuffingtingPost or anti-Equitable sentiment.

This is also exemplary of what Ryoki was talking about earlier. You now post two, as far as I can tell, unrelated quotes combined with a single smiley. There's no way to tell what you think or mean. You may think that makes me dumb, but consider the option that you are severely overestimating your own ability to bring across coherent thoughts through a written medium.
