You’ve got it backwards, they think the president has the right to do what he wants, such as a divine right of kings (also they agree with it). The audacity of some NOBODY to say anything about THEIR side is the insult
Right. Druski mocked one person, while Trump mocked all black people. That's the key difference. If there are white people who feel they're being mocked by Druski because they identify as a person who is that similar to Kirk, they may be offended but Druski still isn't intentionally mocking an entire people group, and they should be ashamed for identifying with Kirk in the first place.
Yes, that is correct. Trump's post went too far and Druski's did not. Do you have any other questions? My question is "Trump raped kids on Epstein Island."
When you think racism towards black people is the same as racism towards white people, you have an intrinsically incorrect understanding of racism.
Racism is not possible as an attack towards white people (bigotry, yes. racism, no). Racism is a tool of white supremacy. That tool only works in supporting and enhancing white supremacy. Just like there can be no holocaust towards Nazis; the perpetrating group is not the victim.
race: A group of people identified as distinct from other groups because of supposed physical or genetic traits shared by the group. __Most biologists and anthropologists do not recognize race as a biologically valid classification, in part because there is more genetic variation within groups than between them.__
Race is made up by white supremacists, so trying to validate race with racism is - again - using their tools to maintain that desired supremacy.
*sigh* that's not the damned point. Race is NOT REAL. Race is MADE UP by white supremacists (yes all words are made up, but they are used to describe real things - race isn't real at all, doesn't exist) Racism is a tool of white supremacy. You're speaking of BIGOTRY.
It is not racist. Racists love to call it racist. but it isn't. Racism is believing in the inherent superiority or inferiority of one race or another. Blackface was about using black people as an object of ridicule. This is a black man mocking a specific white woman who is deserving of ridicule. He's not mocking all white people, he's mocking one piece of shit.
I second Karen. As a white person I can say that every single RATIONAL white person will not be offended by white face. If you disagree, see the text in all caps again.
I mean, kinda depends right? Know your audience. I would find it funny af. But that doesn't mean the jokes can't be or aren't racist. What that dude did though? Not racist. He probably would have done the same shit if she was anything else. The skin color wasn't a key thing - looking like Kirk was. That was parody
Jewdakris
I mean neither one is funny and the world would be better without either in it so they have that in common.
Jimthebutler
Oh yeah, reducing people to subhuman is the same as cosplaying a conservative woman, didnt you know?
CatSparkleBreaker
Oh man I forgot about that outrageous video cause it's just about the least racist thing trump has ever done
urusername2
Racism at its finest!
Eyeetsass
It’s arguing with children. Just stop. There’s no gain in playing gotcha with people who have no interest in reality.

Crazy how Tony can’t seem to differentiate that comparing someone to a primate is different than comparing someone to another human being.

It's always ok to be mean to white supremacists. That's the difference here.

It's also telling that they think being called kinda fat is somehow equally as bad as facing generations of racism.
Sebastopol140
Crazy how they can't understand that Druski was mocking how a person acted while Trump's post was pure racism.
Bowtie8bit
Right. Druski mocked one person, while Trump mocked all black people. That's the key difference. If there are white people who feel they're being mocked by Druski because they identify as a person who is that similar to Kirk, they may be offended but Druski still isn't intentionally mocking an entire people group, and they should be ashamed for identifying with Kirk in the first place.
Bowtie8bit
It's because he made fun of black people, and they liked that, while Druski made fun of a blonde, blue eyed white woman, and they disliked that.
sirbartonslady
Punching down versus punching up... totally the same things, you guys!
whereismymind86
also like...Erica Kirk is a nazi so...fuck her
HitandRyan
Yes, that is correct. Trump's post went too far and Druski's did not. Do you have any other questions? My question is "Trump raped kids on Epstein Island."
ansiichan
sir, but thats not a question
MyVirginityIsGrowingBack
The people who think Druski went too far are just people that are just upset they are not allowed to do blackface.
iamthemurray
I honestly didn't think of that angle. They are not mad about the mockery itself.
MotoCanuck
You mean "The people who think Druski went too far are just people that are upset they are not allowed to abuse children"

ColossalBalls
That is not true, racism is not white based. It is anyone that discriminates the basis of race. Do you think racism does not exist in Japan or China?
itsthevoiceman
Correct, it doesn't Because race wasn't a thing before white supremacy. Race doesn't actually exist.
myeyesthegogglesdonothing
Well that's just about the most insanely idiotic thing I've read in quite a while...
Darkspire
Self serving bullshit is as old as humanity itself
cuddleskunk
Racism is literally just "the belief that one or more races are superior and/or inferior". That is the core definition of the word.
itsthevoiceman
And where did the concept of race come from? Spoiler: white supremacists.
cuddleskunk
"Race" originally referred to one's country and not one's color.
itsthevoiceman
and guess who made that shit up...
bahukiba
You should look up the definition of racism before running your mouth about what racism is.
Here I will help you with that and link a search for you. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=definition+of+racism&t=newext&atb=v517-1&ia=web

And per duckduckgo...
race: A group of people identified as distinct from other groups because of supposed physical or genetic traits shared by the group. __Most biologists and anthropologists do not recognize race as a biologically valid classification, in part because there is more genetic variation within groups than between them.__

You do realize that it isn’t just white people who are racist right?

*sigh* that's not the damned point. Race is NOT REAL. Race is MADE UP by white supremacists
(yes all words are made up, but they are used to describe real things - race isn't real at all, doesn't exist)

You're speaking of BIGOTRY.
bahukiba
You do know that races were made before white supremacists even existed right...
BastardMan1977
Comparing African Americans to apes is extremely racist. An African American wearing whiteface is not, Tony. And Tony knows that.
INeverReadTheTOS
It's also super weird that Tony put the word "post" in quotation marks, like he's trying to imply that it never happened.
EhlersLexinaught
Yeah, “whiteface” isn’t a historically racist performance .
Darkspire
Clowns are a racist depiction of the Irish, which involves whiteface obviously. But whiteface alone isn't historically racist.
KarenFromTheHOA
As a white person, I officially invoke my white privilege to invite all black and other people to do whiteface all they want.
LurkingSarcasm
It's still racist, karen
Dracon27
It's literally not.

I use white privilege to make it not racist. It's super effective.
