Right, yeah fat white cops now have endured hundreds of years of oppression! /s
I'm implying that people who are actual victims of hatred and fear for their lives are treated as equal to power tripping assholes who beat the shit out of those aforementioned victims. Because that is the type of thing I've seen it play out on social media over and over. Apparently you are in favor of that disgusting intentionally context-blind application of rules that empowers racists and punishes victims. Maybe lemmy isn't for you.
The target of a specific behaviour has no bearing on whether it is okay or not. If you think it's okay if the target is one demographic but not another you are being a hypocrite. If we want everyone to have the same rights we can't stoop to behaviour we decry that others have been subjected to.
It actually does have all the bearing.
How effortless it is for you to completely ignore history and group an entirely harmless joke in with 400 years of oppression speaks volumes about your character. You're fundamentally a morally disgusting person
Apparently you didn't understand that I wasn't talking about this joke at all. I don't care about the joke, it's not particularly funny nor problematic to me, feel free to find it funny yourself.
What I'm getting from your comment is that you're saying it's okay to treat people as shit if they are the "correct" target according to you. Because that is the only thing I was saying isn't okay in that comment of mine. And that is a problem which makes a person morally disgusting. All people deserve the same rights, no matter what their circumstances are. You basically saying the opposite means your opinion is worthless to me. I hope you get a better life.
We are talking about this image. You cannot just randomly change the context, you smug bigot.
If you say this image is treating anyone like shit, well that's all the evidence anyone needs to know you're nowhere near a good faith argument and it just reinforces the already solid theory that all you're concerned about here is protecting white people and/or cops.
I do not hope you "get a better life", because bigots don't deserve that.
