    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.

              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.

                They repeated that joke to an outspoken black guy complaining about this post being a racist meme posted by a racist person on Twitter in the first place.

                  Neither one of those jokes are racist. The first one is lampshading the flimsy logic racists use. The butt of the joke are the racists.

                    When someone is bothered by a racist joke you don’t get to chime in and say it wasn’t really racist and explain that their feelings and life experiences are wrong.
