This thread is damn funny. Fellow white people, please don't become like those humorless blacks in the face of this new racism against us. We're better than that.
Interesting. The only distinction they make is if the guy has a beard or not. I'd be willing to bet that occupation might have something to do with it, and where they live.
I'm willing to bet that it's a shittily reported on science/study article like almost every article that starts "a new study shows" and they couldn't reproduce the results if their lives depended on it.
Although it does say it's from Australia, the most racist and sexist nation in all of the anglosphere. Hmmm...
Nah dude you just don't get it, it's a basic tenet of comedy. Like all art forms, comedy can be easily reduced down to a couple of basic slogans which apply universally. Don't question it.
Comedy is routinely racist. It's a huge part of it...do you seriously not see that?
It's punching up because white women generally have it better than black women in American society. Also not hard to figure out our particularly controversial.
Calm down. Comedy is funny because it reveals truth.
I like the part where the guy who's supposedly the defender of social justice, paragon of "anti-racism", admits that racist things are true.
Comedy is funny because it reveals truth, but also that truth is dependent entirely on who the speaker is. Racist jokes are true if you belong to that race or are generally worse of than they are. The same joke becomes false if you don't belong to that race or are generally better off than they are.
Hi Everyone! I'm locking this thread down. There are lots of petty arguments raging in here and I believe after nine hours everything that's going to be said about this StandupShot has been said.
/u/CuckAdmin why do mods do this shit? Are petty arguments so bad they need you to step in and shut the whole thing down? It's not just your sub's mods either, I see this shit on r/nottheonion, r/television, etc. Any controversial post will be locked within 10 hours of submission because of "arguing".
Is this just an attempt to show your users you actually do something? What's the worst thing you think is gonna happen if you just let them fight?
This is the first time I've personally locked a thread in this sub, and I believe we've only locked less than a single handful of threads.
I can't speak for the other mods, but this was a fairly simple post. The arguments people are making are circular and repeated in multiple threads. If they were all super intellegent and respectful, we'd leave them up. Sadly, most of them just turn into name calling. That results in posts being deleted and people being banned, per our policies. So instead of leaving something up where the arguments have already pretty much all been had and allowing people to just get themselves deleted and banned, better to lock it down in this case.
Additionally, I've found that after 8 to 10 hours, the only NEW comments are people that heard there were arguments and are specifically coming to start trouble and/or troll. It's not EXCLUSIVELY that, but that is essentially what it turns into.
I don't lock threads lightly, but this one felt right. I appreciate your questioning though. Keeps us honest!
"Okay, CuckAdmin, you're here to help but this person wants something that goes against the rules of the sub! BUT ALSO your job is to keep everyone happy...and freet0 loves drama...so what do you do?"
This is actually punching down, because you are putting your preferences as a privileged moderator ahead of the needs of us humble and oppressed people of drama.

You're oversimplifying a complex situation to the point of adding nothing to the discussion.

The great thing about having a beard is that it allows me to be as masculine as possible, while also publicly showing my hatred for women.
n/a Wacnews_the_White 2017-02-09
What the actual fuck does that even mean?

Hmm my bf is beardless and isn't misogynistic but his brother and father are both moderately misogynistic and they have beards. Interesting.
n/a wwyzzerdd 2017-02-09
So like they don't listen to your stories about The Real Housewives of Atlanta?
