Then, I saw a bunch of dudes rocking that look for Halloween in 2008. Nobody gave a fuck then either. I’m against legit racism, but people offended over a dumb shirt need to lighten the fuck up. There was a reddit thread about that just last week, I wish I could find it. But they nailed the most important part.............he's STUPID and badly mis-informed when he's doing it, and the other people around him have pointed it out RDJ is parodying the trope of the overly-dramatic actor who plays movie roles to win awards, and is up their own ass. They also pointed out an episode of Always Sunny where Sweet Dee also did it. The key is that they know they're doing something stupid, or somebody right besides them points out that they're doing something stupid and in the wrong. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

-GD-X★ 7,808 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 But I also blame the far left. They have gone overboard. That’s why I’m split down the middle. Both extremes suck ass. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I work in news, and racism is at its worst since he’s taken office. Let's be real here, the dial on racism hasn't moved one bit except downward . What's happened is our hyper sensitive retard culture is finding racism in anything and everything now even when it's not there so racism reports are spiking when it's anything but. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You people see race in everything, you strive to keep racism alive. Sorry, nobody is buying it. You're just talking to youself. And you are also admitting that you aren't "seeing the forest through the trees"..........you only have one objective: to try and make "the leftists" appear to be on the same level as the actual racists. Its not going to work. Not even close. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
