    I was more thinking of the time people said the n word ironically, rappin for jesus and that guy who made that song about black people liking watermelon and kfc, as well as similar songs about white people, asians and arabs. My theory is that Etika’s death killed ironic usage of the n word along with PewDiePie’s bridge incident

      I mean I kinda was too, no one was actually racist, it was just a gag… Instead of being a Alt-Right Nazi pretending it’s just a joke.

        Like nowadays people just post “kill n***ers” and then claim it’s a joke when confronted about it. There’s nothing funny about that. Compared to the “cop shooting the room because it was dark” joke

          I hate that shit “Oh I’m only asking for a race war as a joke… Unless?”

            There’s not even humour in that. The best humour is when you’re equally taking the piss out of each other
