    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?

          When Trump says “Barack Hussein Obama” he’s not mentioning race or religion either. He doesn’t need to. Most people in his base tie the name Hussein to Saddam so stressing it is all he needs to do to get them thinking of spooky scary Muslim terrorist monster dictator bad evil people.

          Note that the guy who posted this meme also has a black joke on his page from like 2 days ago.

            When Trump says that it’s because he’s referring to a black man with a foreign name. How do you not get that?

            Corporations are not people. Corporations don’t have color. Corporations don’t have religion.

            You are equating irrelevancies.

              I have no interest in bickering with you. You’re defending a racist meme posted by a racist techbro finance guy. Good job.

                  “Ironic racism” is still just racism. Honestly I have way more respect for people willing to look me in the face and call me a ni**er than this coy playful “we’re just joking lol” shit.

                    That joke isn’t racist. It’s making fun of how cops are racist and 40 percent of cop families are involved in domestic violence reports.
