I explained the joke. Not your feelings. If someone is making enemies out of allies, I will chime in. If you’re not a fan of dark humor, just ignore it.
It’s not dark humor. It’s racist humor. Yes, it offends black people. Yes, the original meme posted offends Muslims. Not all black people, not all Muslims, but not all of a group needs to speak up and say they’re universally offended by a racist thing for it to be wrong.
You’re now basically telling me that I’m thin skinned and should just ignore racist jokes on Lemmy so you can all giggle at them.
It’s ironic as hell that the responses I’ve gotten in here have been the ones I’d have expected from a Republican Convention. Not folks who like to think of themselves as caring and accepting and against racism and homophobia.
I’m not telling you to ignore racist jokes, but I will tell you that you are thin skinned. This is a media literacy problem. If you break down the structure of the jokes, you’ll realize that they’re making fun of bigots, not minorities.
