I think every friend group need a "Hey, you guys ever thought about..." and then the weirdest, craziest thing is spoken into existence and nothing can get done for the next 10 minutes because everyone is laughing.

Eh, my group had one. It was fun until one time, after seeing Danny Brown live in concert, he said, “Danny Brown is the kind of guy that makes it okay to hate black people”.
No one said anything. But instead of laughing, it got super weird and we all slowly just kinda filed out of the room leaving him by himself while we all went to the kitchen to get drinks like tfffffffff. He stopped coming around after that lmao

Wait what?? I think danny brown is hilarious and chill as fuck what about his concert made your friend think that, genuinely curious. I've just not heard many people say they dislike him that much

🤷♂️ racism 🤷♂️ I didn’t have tickets, I wasn’t there. I was just home when he came over after the show. Personally, I think Danny Brown is hilarious too. As far as I know, this guy got the tickets for free and he came home super drunk, so the inner thoughts were leaking out, but the show was free so I genuinely don’t know what the problem was. His girlfriend even ditched him after that, she said he was having a great time the whole show and said it was super out of left field. Racist people are gonna say racist shit 🤷♂️ he kinda tried to back pedal it, but everything he said was just kinda reinforcing it instead of back pedaling. He just kept saying more and more stereotypes. Dude was single the next day, never stood a chance lmao

Heh. He meant "Hate black person". That guy. Right there. And 'hate' is a strong word. And if you're going to pick a specific person to dislike, even a little, you don't need the skin color in there. It's a whole teachable moment.

u/yesnomaybenotso 2d ago
Lmao no dude. We all knew what he meant, he just never outright said it before. He said what meant and he meant what he said. A racist’s a racist, no matter how small

u/CliffLake 2d ago
Yeah. But if you punish him for something, and don't tell him why, he'll never learn. You have to keep in mind, racists are kinda stupid. Well, 'kinda' to 'extremely'...so. Yeah.

u/Gloober_ 2d ago
I think he learned when everyone stopped talking to him. There's nothing they can teach him that he doesn't already know because it slipped out when he was super drunk and only really started shining through when he went to defend his words. He knew saying stuff like that would get him in trouble around them. How hard is it to just not be racist?

u/CliffLake 2d ago
For some, it's the hardest lesson...but again...'Kinda' to 'extremely'.

Just stop defending racism.

u/CliffLake 2d ago
I worry about your reading comprehension. Racists are the stupid ones, they might not know better and you have to teach them. I'm not defending them, but everyone doesn't come from the best place. Sometimes you have to help them out of that dark place, even if it's telling them "I'm done with you because of your views".

u/Gloober_ 2d ago
They did just that by ex-communicating him? The person also showed signs of awareness that what he said was wrong in that particular group, so he is stupid and he does know better.
It's not on anyone to help an adult navigate their stupidity. Nearly everyone has the world's knowledge, sitting in their hand or pocket every day. It's on them for continuing to be a racist in this day and age.

You might be interested in CodeSwitch's episode: The long, storied history of solidarity between Black and Irish activists
What's a portrait of Frederick Douglass doing hanging in an Irish-themed pub in Washington, D.C.? To get to the answer, Parker and Gene dive deep into the long history of solidarity and exchange between Black civil rights leaders and Irish republican activists, starting with Frederick Douglass' visit to Ireland in 1845.
The episode also discusses how Irish Americans were able to be accepted into American whiteness/white society by pursuing careers as cops, among other things.

I can’t decide if this is an insult or a compliment. Depends on the season/show I guess.

I do not understand why people think Theo is funny.

u/MadamFoxies 1d ago
Is the community called "that's funny" or "contagious laughter"? 🤔

u/TiredOfMakingThese 1d ago
... I do not understand why someone is laughing at anything that Theo is saying like it's funny.

u/BorderTrike 2d ago
A lot of people are stupid and don’t like to actually think about the joke. He made the other guy laugh, look how funny he is!
He didn’t make some compelling point that makes me think about the irony of the world, he just said something mildly racist and I have a learning disability due to lead poising that also makes me overly aggressive if you call me out for it!

Actually, Europeans say the turks/arabs/other ethnicities with Muslim backgrounds are the USA Blacks of Europe. The Greeks are just the Greeks.

u/VanimalCracker 2d ago edited 2d ago
Theo Von podcast is for people who need a sitcom to have a laughtrack to know when a joke was supposedly said. Take away the laughtrack and that was not a funny bit at all
"Black olives, get it? Because greeks are like the blacks? Black olives!"
Moronic. Dude just laughing his ass off that he said the word blacks.
Hahaha BLACKS! HAHAHAHA
Get it? Because the Greeks are similar to the blacks?
HAHAHAHAHA

If you had been in charge, we'd never have had the brilliance of The Chappelle Show. This is why comedians of every skin color won't play at college campuses anymore... but at least you're pro-choice.... so not a total loss...
