      What do you think the motivation behind them choosing the name Osama is?

      Where is the name Osama most common? What things do those folks mainly have in common?

      This seems so similar to Trump whining “Barack Hussein Obama!”

      Also, this is more recent fun from the same person who posted this meme.

        I don’t understand why you keep posting this one image and calling it ironic racism. It’s actively making fun of racists. You couldn’t find any other examples (from a confirmed satire writer) to prove your point?

          I didn’t want to spend much time on his page, and that was enough.

          When did the bulk of you decide that if someone says a racist thing offends them you have the right to jump in and tell them their feelings and experiences are invalid? Are you a black or brown Muslim? From the middle east?

          Last time I was in college it was very much the opposite, and we were all taught that when someone says a thing is racist and is clearly bothered by it a crowd of people jumping on them and telling them they’re stupid and wrong is pretty much the most fucked up response you could give.

        Bro, I’m pretty sure this is just someone rearranging letters in a humorous manner and because things like FAANG sound too cool for shit corpos. I think you’re reading WAY too much into it.

              If WW2 happened much more recently and the US far right responded by trying to stoke racial fear of Germans in it’s follower? Probably.

            Well of course it’s not an accident. That’s sort of the joke in rearranging the monikers.

            However thinking this has anything to do with the racist way MAGA presents candidates with names like Obama, or really any candidate of color with a non traditional name, I don’t think they equate as they’re intended to suggest they aren’t native Americans, and somehow have ties to foreign powers or interests.

            And these are just corporations.

            Again thinking you’re reading way to into it

              Do you want a few dozen news articles describing the way they stress those names as clear racist and Islamophobic dog whistles? They’re all over the place. It has nothing to do with not being born in America. They stress “scary” sounding names to rile their base up about Muslims and terrorists.

              The same exact thing this meme is doing. If Trump didn’t have huge ties to all the big evil corporations and wanted to make them look bad it’s the sort of thing he’d probably post himself.

              Check out the guy who posted it. Does he seem like a great person to you?

                You realize my last comment was on how MAGA sounds dog whistles over anyone with a foreign sounding name yeah? No shit. We’re on the same page regarding that bit.

                This meme isn’t doing the same thing because this has nothing to do with Islam, foreign companies, or anything of the sort.

                This joke is over giving these companies an undesirable acronym related to a guy who bombed the WTC. These companies lack a race or religion to tie to the moniker.

                Do you think jokes about Trump hiding in a food cart depicted like Sadam in a cave are racist as well in this regard?

                  Obama is a black man. They try to stress his middle name to raise Islamophobic fear. Literally the same thing this is doing with Osama.

                  Do you think jokes about Trump hiding in a food cart depicted like Sadam in a cave are racist as well in this regard?

                  No, how would that be stoking Islamophobia?

                    I missed where race or religion were being highlighted in this meme. Can you point to the black or Muslim company in this picture please?
