I think you misunderstand what Gene found funny. First it is funny in that no one wearing a mask would say that. Only a white supremacist, racist, or bigot would think they would say that. Also it is funny in that only a white supremacist, racist, or bigot, would draw a person of color with indistinguishable features, yet an ape like impression. It is funny in that only a white supremacist, racist, or bigot would not realize they were talking about themselves when it came to guns. So from all directions this joke shows what ignorant POS, white supremacists, racists, and bigots are. Since Gene is none of those he clearly looked deep and saw the real, but unintended humor.

^ Thanks, I think...

BTW, this meme was shared in the FB Being Classically Liberal FaceBook group. It got 433 "Like", "LOL" or "Love" cliks, nothing else. There were also 193 comments, most thought it was funny, more said something like, "Why not both?" So I guess Classic Liberals are white supremacists, racists, or bigots, dang it, ya just cannot trust anyone these days.

Not if they didn’t know the origins. No more than you are (I don’t think you are). If they were informed of such and still ok with it then maybe.

If one were to analyze the depiction of the “white” man,
One could surmise that he is a pencil neck weakling.
Especially in comparison to the depiction of the “darker” individual.

Should whites be offended?
Couldn’t everyone be offended if they were to look deeply enough?
Should we be imprisoned by our thoughts?

Or shall we choose to be free?...

Choose to be free but don’t ignore that this came from white nationalist groups. Free and educated is better than free and intentionally ignorant. Unless you want to support these groups ideas while pretending you don’t. In that case it’s actually not ignore t but pretty smart.

I’m sorry.

At this point the origins are known. If you are comfortable with it cool. If you are not cool. It’s nothing to get mad about. It’s merely information.

If you are comfortable perpetuating white supremacy memes because you find them funny, and don’t find anything wrong with them even though they put them together as part of their agenda fine. You will just find the other group overly sensitive or dumb.

If you immediately get upset when someone pushes white supremacy memes out you may feel superior but you arn’t. If you get upset after explaining where the meme came from and it’s still supported or defended you may need a coat.

It’s really not worth being invested in because I doubt many in here whole heartedly supports white nationalism. But it is informative.

To each their own.

lol. Nope. It’s pretty clearly laid out and if you want to ignore it fine. I said and believe you are not a racist. You can go find it and the whole catalog of similar. At this point you either don’t care or do care. I don’t feel the need to push it further. It’s not really a great wonder. Drink or don’t.

Meh. It’s just information. I’m not and have never been mad about it and don’t particularly feel the need to spoon feed.

But you proclaimed it was from a raciest source. [frypan] 🐴

I did an image search in google and got nothing but pro gun and anti vaccination or libertarian sites. I figured with the usual bias of Google searches something would pop right up. i suspect the "source" of concern over the face is a tin hat wearing hyper sensitive type making some crazy assumptions. Perish the thought that the originator made a generic non ethnic face that they hoped would not offend anyone. In this example, the other face isn't exactly handsome either, but what do I know about men's faces as a flaming heterosexual male. 🐴
