Y'all more upset at the parody than Kanye's original statement.
It's like y'all fail to see the absurdity of Kanye's statement as expressed by these parodies .
Who here is saying anything remotely positive about kanyes statement??
Who here is saying that what Kanye said is not absurd??

I really wonder how many Jewish people these folk hang out with because they always have this idea that white people/Jewish people would never.
Maybe the stuffy old ones, but no theyre humans too like us. They dont constantly sit around mad and ashamed. Instead, yall just shaming your own people with sterotypes you've been brainwashed with. "Black people are ignorant, black youth are lost."
Humor is a coping mechanism to relieve stress. Thats why so many comedians have/had shytty lives and/or childhoods.
Even then, this doesn't apply because they are making fun of Kanye's ludicrous statement, not slavery. They know slavery wasnt a choice!

I'll speak for myself and say that my main problem with this is moreso how they are going about it on Twitter. I'm aware that they are making fun of Kanye, not slavery, but there is still something as a "joke in bad taste"
The same way you can make a joke about rape that isn't condoning it, but people still look at you like "breh... don't joke about that
"I can't speak for everyone, but I personally don't like slavery jokes, regardless of the context. Never really have.
And I'm not even a descendant of slavery

This is a fukking play. I am asking you for proof where Jews are collectively making fun of the Holocaust. Stop posting tidbits
Exactly. Let this be dudes making rape jokes and I guarantee no woman would be coming in here typing up paragraphs to defend it smhI'll speak for myself and say that my main problem with this is moreso how they are going about it on Twitter.

You have a right to your sensitivities. However, I don't think it's right to shame others for not having the same sensitivities. (Not specifically you, however if the shoe fits.)I'll speak for myself and say that my main problem with this is moreso how they are going about it on Twitter.

It's a difference between outsiders with little understanding diminishing the significance of different events and people within the culture referring to it in context such as this hashtag. Because again, it's not about slavery.
And i think its even worse if you not being a decendent were shaming those who are with how they choose to cope, or refer to it.
Point is... #carefreeblackgirl #blackboyjoy
We should not be constantly weighed down in anger, fear or shame from such events. We should not even let such events define us. We remember it, and use it as motivation to fight against or prevent situations like slavery and oppression from happening again.
These people understand what it was which is why theyre making fun of Kanye.
