The picture was posted in order for you to go omg all trump voters are kkk. I suggested resisting being used so easily, so shabbily.

No one is saying "All Trump voters" are they? The concern is that the election is empowering this sort of attitude where it may have remained unexpressed in the past.

Right. In fact, any mention of the racists emboldened by this victory should be avoided, because that's just sneering / smearing. Got you, don't mention the racism.

Why do you even post?

Has anyone got away with saying something without your mad adding? I'm not bothering with your apolitical stuff any more.

Row back. This stuff needs serious monitoring, as it did after brexit, but x10 at least, probably x100.

No. YMMV but please have respect for those who can't find humour in this.

I do, but please have some respect for those of us who find it easier to deal with it by making a joke about it.

OU isn't laughing at racism he's amused by the idea that anyone has the cheek/ignorance to believe that the US was ever 'white'.

Oh come on. I'm as guilty of making sick jokes as anyone. I didn't think yours was bad - obviously not, because I responded in kind - but if people are complaining maybe it's best to lay off? Maybe start a satire thread? Wouldn't be hard, actually: just fill it with Trump-related news items and no one would be able to tell the difference.
Racial violence is so grim I don't reckon anyone but victims of it get to make jokes without criticism.

It wasn't even a joke ffs

I didn't think it was either at the time. I thought it was a sharp criticism of the graffiti.

It's a question of tone, though. And it's not as if that criticism was original, so that's why people see it as a joke.

OU put a
there, but I read that as an expression of the absurdity of it, nothing else. I do that sometimes as well. Sometimes a thing is so absurd that no other smiley seems quite enough.

how was it ever white?
It was 'white' when the only citizens were white people; and black slaves were considered to be subhuman chattel.
