Swear to God some people believe they're oppressed by minorities because they can't be racists towards said minorities

They are afraid that minorities, if given power, will treat them as badly as they've treated the minorities in the past.

Well, you're not really allowed to criticize illegal aliens, homosexuals, or GoT. So we are ruled by illegal gay GoT fans.

The neo nazi quote again
hardytardigrade
The old "ackshullay, real oppression is when people don't like what I say" business
roberSuperVoter
There's a difference between people not liking what you're saying and what you're saying being a literal crime!
There is a difference. But criticizing Jews and black people, like the true author of this quote, isn't a crime in the US. So the quote
isn't just stupid, it's false. Unless maybe he meant "people who think child porn should be illegal" because he did serve time for that.
Nelmathel
"I like breathing and drinking water," said by a nazi one time. You have to oppose people based on direct actions not based on what they are
Yellowdart49
That nazi was terrible at small talk
parasztarcal
Claiming that the jews run the world is a pretty nazi act if you ask me. Also the thing where he's a self proclaimed neo-nazi.
1/ The statement it self is very open ended and can be use for Jews/Whites/Blacks ect. however better replay was the above one
2/ character attacks are by far weaker.
GSCultist
It's not really a character attack because he did originally mean this quote explicitly about the jewish people.
Crackheadpirate
I'm not allowed to criticize gays blacks Muslims or immigrants.
hurrdurr69
Im curious, what critique do you have of gay people lmao
It would be pretty neat if you just didn't start making out right next to me but this applies to straight people as well.
DearAtlas
So whats the point lel
So basically you're not critiquing gay people? What does that have to do with what I said then?
Konpiok1
Actually “criticizing” those people is what the entire centrist/ skeptic community was founded on. Those people literally rule social media.
dalaiyoda
No, you are absolutely allowed. It's just the rest of the world is also allowed to call you a fucking bigot if that's what you sound like.
RayloKen
White men rule imgur. You can make women based jokes, asian, black, etc. Never seen any white guy jokes around.
Why would you say something so controversial yet so brave?
Looking for a reaction, i guess. "You guys see this, right?"
Feel free to.
My point is proven. I did what the meme said.
morelikeconsham
How many white guys does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
All of them. One to hold the lightbulb steady, the rest to screw the whole world.

Well then tell us a white men joke, don't only complain looser.
I didnt mean to offend you.
Come on tell us a white joke.
How about a white lie
Literally every school shooting joke I see on this site involves a white man.
You say that like its a fery popular joke. Iv seen it less than five times. And gets downvoted.
pleaseconsiderthatImightbejoking
Pretty sure that has something to do with the whole "haha, loads of kids being murdered in place they're supposed to be safe, hilarious" bit
Exactly. Never as a derogatory comment.
Kamasu0Tra
And how many times have you seen the Pikachu meme you are complaining about? Probably never before.
Once more. Was going to comment 'repost'.
Votes don't matter, it's still a joke that pops up pretty frequently. I probably see one once a week.
Not that I really see all that many racist jokes at all. Like ever, and if I do if they're downvoted to. So I'm not really seeing your point
Well votes tell you what the majority thinks.
KanyeWesticularCancer
Fun fact. This was actually said by a man named Kevin Alfred Strom. He’s a neo-Nazi, Holocaust denier, and in prison for having kiddie porn.
sarahmoves360
I bought about this for a while and while he’s wrong about racism, he’s correct about the “untouchable” class. Maybe we should be critical

+1 for true story
The giveaway is that it's not in French, really.

He deserves much more than 4 months.

That’s just terrible. Should I take the picture down?

No, a statement and a person do not have the be seen as one and the same. Even evil people can make a good points on occasion. D:
The joke points out how stupid the original statement is anyways, so no biggie.
itotallyagreewithwhatyousaid
No its a joke panchit9. if people get boo booo over memerino then they need some doo doo over their pooperino.
No I'd advise you simply update text with correct source the replay does more to dismantle statement then screaming OG speaker was a Nazi.

No it’s a joke, mate. If folks get their panties in a wad over it then they should be pelted with snowballs.
No it's a joke bro. If people anger over it then they should be punched.

Do not, for it is in good humor. Should a cheeky fellow become embroiled in anger over a...meme...they must be horse drawn and quartered.
Qualtagh
Okay I can see imgur is having one of its precious little moments in this thread, but for real: Since the post demonstrates one of the 1/2
inherent flaws in the philosophy, it hardly strengthens it. 2/2
I'd say yes, because it misattributes the quote (which only spreads the mistake further) and there are already people in the comments (1/2)
arguing that "it rings true" and "evil men can say good things, too". So it does strengthen the underlying philosophy. (2/2)
Rexli78
Nah the sentiment in this image is clearly being mocked by the comment just below it.
kojenk
