RE: Meme the News 2/28/18- Not for the faint of heart

in #vietmeme7 years ago (edited)

Uhmmm.. there's some good ones and funny ones. But I have to admit @aggroed not sure about this one below ( racoon) . Surely, you know the historical reference of this as it pertains to Racism and a certain group ?? I find it hard to believe you're that naive.
Well , it's a racial epithet/slur. And being originally from Tennessee this equates to saying the N-word down here. Don't believe me?? Come down here and try it.
Damn, next thing we will be having memes off KKK burning an effigy of Black people with the N-word in big letters. I know this is a Free Speech platform and I hate being too PC but since when are highly esteemed and well thought of Steemians (one who I admire, myself ) start doing this ?? Whether you made this meme or not... kind of unbecoming of someone like you to put this bullshit up here. And I'm a Pro-1st/2nd Amendment, pro-military, anti- antifa guy myself . But Jesus Christ, I hope our Nigerian and African American fellow Steemians don't come to this Thread lol . Many who look up to you... :(

Second one is a standard meme. It's the "ain't nobody got time for that" meme. This series is called meme the news. The point is that reading news takes too long and it's easier just to flip through a set of memes and get all your news for the week in 3 min of memes. This image seems pretty fitting rather than flagrant racism. If you place judgement on using a meme with a black person in it as racist it's more a reflection of your thoughts than mine.

Calling a person, especially a black person, a coon in the deep south is pretty clearly a racist line in the sand. Antifa strikes me as a bunch of Soros paid left wing white skinned idiots out of Portland Oregon. This is less of calling someone a coon for racism's sake and more funny by the 3rd line where it's spoofing the news where the antifa idiot got hit by a car. The humor is in the car/roadkill line rather than non nonsensically calling the white liberals black racist names. I think you're stretching pretty hard here.

You're welcome to spend your days fighting racism or being a racist for that matter. I'd prefer you do neither on my wall or page.
