There, Blacks are 6.7 times more likely to be shot and killed than are white residents

Blacks

White residents

giving vibes of reframing cops killing black children as "X black people died" lmao

I think we need to introduce him back to his ferry.

[–] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 49 points 4 months ago

This is somehow the most racist thing I've read in weeks

[–] Guamer@hexbear.net 37 points 4 months ago

They could at least be consistent

[–] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 29 points 4 months ago

Really not enjoying how that particular term has made a resurgence, when for my entire childhood it was seen as a comically antiquated way of talking about people

[–] CyborgMarx@hexbear.net 13 points 4 months ago (2 children)

The way white people pronounce "bLLacKS" always gives me the mental image of blood spatter on a wall or unseasoned spaghetti falling on a hardwood floor

[–] radiofreeval@hexbear.net 8 points 4 months ago

The weirdest part is that this guy is Black as well

[–] Antiwork@hexbear.net 7 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Same thing with the way people say African American. Almost always makes me cringe. It's about their tone

[–] radiofreeval@hexbear.net 86 points 4 months ago (1 children)

The article has been removed, lol.

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 70 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

Imagine how excited this guy was to pitch this and have it published only to have it pulled

Had to break his poor little heart

[–] AFineWayToDie@hexbear.net 46 points 4 months ago

He just got his official DEI Expert certification, too.

I am a diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) expert

what-the-hell

disclaimerI understand DEI is a reactionary canard, but if you are referring to yourself as a DEI expert, I expect your analysis to be better (or at least more convincing) than thinking Black folks are like Pig Pen from The Peanuts except instead of dust motes swirling around them there are bullets.

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 71 points 4 months ago

Ah yes, THE BLACKS, known for being shot at, haha! Such delightful people homie-what-set-you-from

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 55 points 4 months ago

[–] asante@hexbear.net 16 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

lmao i see that

[–] ProgAimerGirl@hexbear.net 44 points 4 months ago (1 children)

literally the most racist take Forbes has ever run

[–] UserNameIsRequired@lemy.lol 26 points 4 months ago

Or the most hilariously aware.

[–] Justice@lemmygrad.ml 43 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Saving a google:

The author is a black guy. I don't know if that makes it any "better," but like, goddamn.

Also his Wikipedia literally describes him as a DEI expert. Which I found funny because it sounded totally made up as something to be an expert in. Like a self aware racist would call themselves that as a sort of joke.

Obviously he's a very public figure. Lots of info. But, saving the google.

I didn't pay thousands of dollars and spend years studying under both Professor Emeritus Vance Medley and Professor Valerie Variance to have my DEI double-doctorate slandered like this on the internet.

[–] Justice@lemmygrad.ml 12 points 4 months ago

Lmao.

It's just the exact description sounded funny given the recent context of Republicans calling everything DEI this and that

His actual degrees in like racial equity are more along the lines of what I expected in a description, but that's probably just my own brainrot brought on by right wingers.

It's really just making it that much more obvious how "DEI hire" and such are only ever specifically meant to be slurs. You can't say "the racial hire? To fill the BLACK quota?" but you can plausibly ask about DEI hires... well you could. They've run that in the ground already.

Ahhhhh sweet cognitohazard takes agony-wholesome

Shame Trump won't attempt to appeal to me by dying to gunfire

[–] Kuori@hexbear.net 31 points 4 months ago (2 children)

now that i think about it, yeah, we could probably kill every journalist in this country and nothing of value would be lost.

[–] Hohsia@hexbear.net 27 points 4 months ago

The internet called journalism much like how video killed the radio star

[–] ElChapoDeChapo@hexbear.net 12 points 4 months ago

More and more people are saying it

[–] culpritus@hexbear.net 31 points 4 months ago
[–] WhatDoYouMeanPodcast@hexbear.net 30 points 4 months ago

Are they talking about the TikToks where black people are walking into the room with a shit eating grin to the tune of Many Men? That's the most generous interpretation of the headline I could think of and it's still shit.

[–] take_five_seconds@hexbear.net 27 points 4 months ago

haha what the fuck man

[–] Rojo27@hexbear.net 21 points 4 months ago

I thought all the Biden talk had broken liberals' brains, but apparently there was still another level to unlock.

[–] Egon@hexbear.net 19 points 4 months ago

This is a cumtown bit

[–] Gosplan14_the_Third@hexbear.net 19 points 4 months ago

Today has been a fantastic day for laughing at brainworms, so much material.

[–] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 18 points 4 months ago

I literally lol'd

This is an onion article right? No way this isn't an onion article, it's so ridiculously well crafted to be anything but fake; it can't be real, no way.

[–] 2Password2Remember@hexbear.net 15 points 4 months ago

Death to America
