It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Blackface and redface at the same time- that's some very efficient racism.

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 50 points 11 months ago

Actually reddit has informed me painting half your face red when dressing as a native American makes it not racist.

Also worth noting that black is not one of the teams colors.

"We're not being racist against black people, we're being racist against Native Americans"

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 45 points 11 months ago

This was literally the argument

"All you snowflakes said he was racist but actually he painted half his face red when dressing up as a native american. Bet you feel silly."

"and black people"

....imagine thinking this wasn't racist af

[–] zifnab25@hexbear.net 40 points 11 months ago

How can it be racist if I am entertained? Are you calling me a racist? Well... that's a pretty racist thing to say to me, you racist.

Fuckin’ media, only covering the anarcho side of anarcho-communism

Were we supposed to look at the first and think "blackface!? That's bad!" But when we look at the second we say "oh, it isnt blackface at all, this is a not-racist and not-fucked thing"?

I couldn't figure out what EndlessWoke was trying to suggest was the difference between the pictures, I'm still not sure the answer is "blackface" lol.

[–] Ideology@hexbear.net 22 points 11 months ago

I think it's Musk who's suggesting that blackface is the difference.

Noted not-media outlet, Twitter

[–] GarfieldYaoi@hexbear.net 26 points 11 months ago

It's not "media" if it favors the right: the default state of correctness.

[–] CrimsonSage@hexbear.net 37 points 11 months ago

Honestly, blackface didn't even cross my mind. I genuinely didn't know what they were mad about.

Racist? He's clearly honoring the anarcho-communist indigenous resistance fighters from the KC (Kill Capitalism) nation.

The thing about headdresses is that each feather is like a medal of honor. You have to earn them and having a full one like that takes years that very few people ever reach. You could say that people wearing those factory produced abominations are practicing stolen valor.

Rules watching the Eagles demolish them at the end a few weeks ago

He's cool with it because the colors are separated
