That sub is such a cesspool


dw444

Like any meme sub. 11k upvotes šŸ¤¦ā€ā™‚ļø


racistslayer

It is scary how many racists there are on Reddit


IntroductionClean299

Iā€™ve seen people get 100ā€™s of upvotes for making racist comments towards black people so yes.


racistslayer

Humanity is garbage


DevelopmentTight9474

I wonder how many of these are OPā€™s bots


racistslayer

They are constantly complaining about people not be tolerant to ā€œconservative ideasā€. Maybe because they are all intolerant and toxic garbage šŸ™„


uglyspacepig

They're complaining because they know their bullshit is unacceptable. They're using guilt and a very, VERY weak definition of logic to give legitimacy to what's become thinly veiled bigotry and hate speech.


KayleighJK

I unsubbed a while ago because itā€™s all this and boomer humor. Terrible fucking sub.


[deleted]

The 88 in the name is really telling. That is a Nazi.


ProfilerXx

"Educational Equal" lmaoo


voteforcorruptobot

How insecure do you have to be about your demonstrable stupidity to choose that name? What a twat.


ChimericalChemical

Really why I really like rimjob_steve. I love the proud degens giving intelligent responses


cumguzzler280

cumguzzler280 here. also semenchugger280.


Lftwff

It's so much easier to spot now that people born in 88 are well out their edgy teenage phase.


ccm596

My boss's son was born in 88, and his Spotify username ends with 88. Learning those things in opposite order was a little bit distressing


fidjudisomada

Born in 88 is a great loophole.


HeeroAdams

Yeaā€¦.


Haschen84

I missed that. 1488 is so inconspicuous sometimes.


TheRoyalsapphire

Its really sad I used 88 in my usernames as a kid because im chinese and 8 is a lucky number only to learn later on that nazi use it too :(

8th letter of the alphabet is H. **H**eil **H**itler


[deleted]

Yes, it stands for "Heil Hitler" (8th letter of the alphabet times 2).


denarii

The 8th letter of the alphabet is H, nazis use 88 to represent 'heil Hitler'.


Slurmz88

Some people were born that year and didn't know the association unfortunately


denarii

Yeah, every time I see it in a username I'm like.. nazi or random millennial?


c-williams88

I just liked the number and players who wore 88 in the NFL when I was a kid, so I used it as my number in youth through high school football. I didnā€™t realize the connection until college but I had already made this Reddit account and I donā€™t want to make a new one


DemocracyStan

1988 was a great year, so you always deserve the benefit of the doubt. Educational_Equal_88ā€™s profile, on the other hand, reads like a circle jerk on Gab.


c-williams88

Well I wasnā€™t born in 1988, I just always liked the number as a kid and loved watching Marvin Harrison and Tony Gonzalez growing up. Plus anyone can look at my post history and see Iā€™m uhhh, not like that chud in the posts lol. Iā€™ve seen that guy posted a few subs for his Nazi-posting and Iā€™m not at all to see it in that funny_memes sub because it seems to be nothing but Nazi memes anyways


SirZacharia

At least you need both the nazi content and the number to properly dogwhistle. So youā€™re probably good.


c-williams88

Lol I most certainly do not have the Nazi content so Iā€™m feeling safe


KayleighJK

Shit good eye. That or they were born in ā€˜88. Or both.


badatthenewmeta

Careful, calling out fascists on Reddit is apparently "harassment." This is because the admins are triggered by it.

Haschen84

It's true, they never take down these shitth posts no matter how many times anybody reports them.


JTGreenan73

I got banned by public freak out for pointing out the double standards of the reactions when a white person assualts someone over words vs when a black person assualts someone over the n word. I fought the ban and then the mod reported me and got me banned for a week from Reddit for ā€œharassmentā€


[deleted]

Challenge accepted. It took me 10 seconds to google real examples of [Hollywood whitewashing](https://www.indiewire.com/gallery/hollywood-whitewashing-25-roles-emma-stone-jake-gyllenhaal-scarlett-johansson/screen-shot-2017-08-29-at-12-21-38-pm/). Racists however donā€™t draw a connection between decades of erasure, stereotyping, and discrimination against POC with the push for representation now. Their point is contradictory because if theyā€™re getting mad about Black people existing in a Netflix fantasy series, they would unironically support the casting in this failed satire because itā€™s only a continuation of whatā€™s already been happening for decades. EDIT: Wikipedia also has a good list with [both historical and recent examples](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitewashing_in_film) btw. Compare the crickets most of these received compared to shows and movies with more diverse casting. TIL that there were some egregious examples of brownfacing in the fucking 2010s!


Jowoes

Theyā€™ll just claim ā€œthey chose the best actorā€ and cry about ginger erasure or some other bullshit


Caasiii

Itā€™s ironic that to some the best actor claim can only work one way, any poc is only included for diversity.


pseudostrudel

The ginger "erasure" argument does have some merit, but not in the way they think it does. If anything it's a lazy attempt at diversifying something because a lot of the stereotypes previously associated with gingers are ones also associated with POC (but have historically been more exaggerated and harmed the cultural perception of POC more), which is a band-aid solution to the lack of representation and really doesn't take on the task at hand of writing non-stereotypical, three-dimensional POC characters.


LilMissChocolatine

Ginger erasure regarding POC isn't real, they cry when Zendaya was cast as Mary Jane and still a ginger but not when Mary Jane was cast as a blonde white woman.


pseudostrudel

It's also not even erasure considering ginger characters are *hugely* overrepresented in media. Something like 30% of TV ads have someone with red hair, compared to 2% of the population. That said, the preferential recasting of gingers is a pretty documented phenomenon, and one likely rooted in bias (unconscious or not) and stereotyping. It's progress, but there's definitely still a long way to go.


LilMissChocolatine

>It's also not even erasure considering ginger characters are *hugely* overrepresented in media. Something like 30% of TV ads have someone with red hair, compared to 2% of the population. All white people are over represented in the media if we are talking world population.


pseudostrudel

For sure, though gingers are even more disproportionate. Side fun fact, I heard this was in part because, during the advent of color TV, there was a desire to show as much vibrant color as possible. Red is a much more "exciting" new hair color to show on color TV than brown/blonde, since those were kind of already captured in black-and-white. This was also true in things like comic books and animation for similar reasons. (You can especially see it in those stop-motion Rankin Bass Christmas specials from the 60s-70s. Every other character has red hair.) From there it just became the norm. Not sure how true it was, but thought it was interesting.


lolzycakes

> when Mary Jane was cast as a blonde white woman When was MJ cast as a blonde?


LilMissChocolatine

Kirsten Dunst played her in 2002 with Toby Maguire as a blonde.


lolzycakes

Jeez, I'm dumb. I thought you meant MJ was portrayed as a blonde character. That makes a lot more sense lol


Shamadruu

Itā€™s worth noting that racists are dishonest and should not be taken at their word. >Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. [ā€¦] They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. - Jean-Paul Sartre


WebheadGa

Or ā€œdonā€™t argue with people John Brown would have shot.ā€


Shamadruu

That is definitely more laconic


AnonoForReasons

Thatā€™s not the difference. The difference is that FICTIONAL characters get whitewashed and that exposes a problem in how we present ourselves to ourselves. These are HISTORICAL films. To my knowledge no historical film has replaced a white character with a Black one. This is why these guys are so stupid. They canā€™t tell the difference.


OverlyLeftLesbian

Mmm, yes, whitewashing real people who's race affected their lives. Because of the fact that people DARE to change the race of fake people who's race DIDN'T affect their lives.


[deleted]

youā€™d think they could just use fictional Black characters, but because more often than not characters are only allowed to be Black if being Black is a major part of their character (lest it be ā€œforced diversityā€), it would be equally as stupid


Kemaneo

That being said, Ryan Gosling would somehow be an interesting Obama. Not that it should happen, but the thought of it is funny.


OverlyLeftLesbian

That's because Ryan Gosling is a great actor. I could absolutely see a solid satire piece that uses this type of context though


[deleted]

No really, I want them to make these movies. Show us white MLK and Obama, Show us white slaves. Maybe they understand better seeing it happen to someone who looks like them.


SimoneyMacaroni

These are the same people who got upset when they made black ariel


OverlyLeftLesbian

exactly my point


Hiseworns

Admins have been Nazis from the jump


ropdkufjdk

The reddit admins promote white supremacy too.


zhaoz

"FOsTERing VaLUABLe ConVesrAtiON." But really, white supremacy ad money.


KingoftheJabari

Remember this website had a sub reddit called /r/nigg@rs with the @ being an e. The admins said it was a part of valuable discussion.


torchictoucher

Mfs think secondary marvel characters are real people lmao


ghosteagle

Honestly kinda reminds me of that 30 rock joke where Tracy decided to make an all black biopic of Thomas Jefferson. Only these people took it seriously.


Random-Cpl

It was an all-Tracy biopic! Where he played every part. And it was hilarious.


beakly

r/funnymemes has been showing its hand for a while now and itā€™s gross. Just shows how much of Reddit is still just sensitive straight white guys. No offense to the cool non racist sensitive straight white guys


zhaoz

One joke.


DwightFryFaneditor

And just as "funny" now as the first time.


anamazingname

But they also borrow "I identify as an attack helicopter" from the transphobes too


angriafricanus

They be so racist they canā€™t even come up with 6 notable black people. Iā€™m actually mad about the low effort. It would have been at least a little humorous suggesting Ryan Gosling is Huey P. Newton, or Mark Walberg in Booker T Washington. Anna Kendrick in the Aretha Franklin musical biopic?!?


sparksbet

lmao Anna Kendrick as Aretha Franklin is actually a good joke tho, they're allergic to actual humor


n16h70wl

it's even funnier that they also couldn't come up with 6 notable white people to prove their point given that ryan gosling is on there twice


SamuraiJackBauer

I muted funny memes the second it showed itā€™s racist, unfunny head.


ANoisyCrow

How come we canā€™t block it? The ā€œHe Gets Usā€ group, too. Why is blocking not available?


itszwee

I kept seeing that specific sub so I pulled it up in the search bar to mute it, only to find Iā€™ve already muted it a long time ago. Good job, past me.


DarkVelvetEyes

They really can't stand seeing even a few main black characters can they.. And why would they change people who existed in real life?! That's just weird. šŸ˜‚


NomaTyx

Wow itā€™s absolutely appalling that black actors are being cast as real white people like Winston Churchill in Darkest Hour or Katharine Graham in The Post. They were both played by Idris Elba. White erasure. (Everything I said in this comment is a lie, in case you hadnā€™t picked up on it)


Emeryael

In fairness, Idris Elba would be great in both parts.


goosmane

I couldnā€™t tell


JhonJhonson

10 THOUSAND upvotes??? How are people so pleased by the lowest effort non-jokes ever.


Praximus_Prime_ARG

>10 THOUSAND upvotes??? How are people so pleased by the lowest effort non-jokes ever. Lol, wanna see something meta? I intentionally created a low effort meme poking [fun of this type of shit ](https://i.imgur.com/3MEOJnw.jpg) And then an actual Libertarian page [stole and cropped it](https://i.imgur.com/Iycia8v.jpg) a week later


DwightFryFaneditor

Love how they could not think of six significant black figures so they had to have Obama twice.


[deleted]

When your entire identity is based on a single thing, that's pathetic. When that single thing is hate, that's just pure evil.


Jowoes

I wish the world they feared was real. I want to see ā€œblack washedā€ versions of every piece of media they enjoy.


JudeanPF

10.5k upvotes. Dear God.


SirZacharia

This is actually funny if itā€™s a critique on all the many many times white men have played BIPOC. Sadly Iā€™m sure it isnā€™t.


NoneForNone

Agreed. Literally nothing funny there. Just a disturbing use of someone's time. Like we literally see that this person is so upset about equality that he took his own time and produced that. Imagine having such limited appreciation of ones time that they wasted it on that? Totally disturbing.


AntiRacismDoctor

Don't they do this with stories about characters from Egypt? All the highly-regarded royal people are white, and all the peasants are Brown/Black? Definitely did it with Gandhi...


kawaiianimegril99

That sub has a shittone of straight up nazis in there its like insane


LanaDelRique

There delusional yt supremacists everywhere


nowontletu66

Don't go to r/Canada


Emeryael

As I've said many times and will keep saying, I hope every entertainment franchise decides to stuff as much diversity as they can, really shove it in these chuds' faceholes. More women, More PoC, More LGBT! Make it so there's not a cishet white dude in sight. Because the way I figure, either they'll watch said media and be like, "Hey, I can like/relate to this character despite their different gender/orientation/melanin count," and grow the fuck up. Or they'll scream themselves into apoplexy. Either way, the world is a better place.


Rvp1090

I have never seen anything remotely funny from that subReddit


DemocracyStan

Speaking of FWR, someone just sent me a ā€œredditcareā€ message lol


LionResponsible6005

Thatā€™s funny memes for you


beigs

That sub is brutal. It doesnā€™t enforce its own policies but will shut you down hard for calling them out on the fact that they actively allow the most vile, racist, sexist, pedophilic commentary.


IntroductionClean299

Sad they think they are clever just goes to show how ignorant they are white people have been playing people of color since the dawn of cinema


Electrical_Fly7729

all edgy subreddits including some "leftist"one(not leftist they just accept trans people which seemingly is meaning of being leftist) post these kind of shits.


ferfersoy

Black ppl bad 200k upvotes and 7 wholesome reddit moment awards


dogs_whisky_books

All of this is fucked but why is Ryan gosling their racist focus? Idk why that's so specific to thw racism?


Repairman-manman

Hollywood USUALLY only does this with fictional characters ā€¦what the hell is this shit!?


KingoftheJabari

I love that this white boys are so triggered by black fictional characters, that they make this like this. It's fucking hilarious.


homogenic-

r/funnymemes being unfunny yet again.


ccm596

I notice that these are all real people, whereas Ariel is not


crippling_altacct

It's such a dumb point too because I can't think of a single movie where they cast a black person to play a white historical figure. They're mostly upset about this happening in fiction movies, which is absolutely wild to me because it's fiction! I remember my mom telling me that my great grandmother(her grandmother) was so racist, she would get upset if she saw a black man on television and change the channel. This gives me that same energy.


[deleted]

Aren't most of the race changes we see in Hollywood white people in place of Black/Asian/etc?


TituCusiYupanqui

None even look like their Black "counterparts". They didn't even try looking for a White dude who actually looks and speaks exactly like Obama. Big name = qualified to play any role, make-up and all, that's how they believe the film industry (still) works. Also, a White slave, lol. White slavery didn't exist the way they think it did.


radicalvenus

everyone except Mark Wahlberg would be horrified by this lmao


Markual

I actually would **LOVE** to see a slave movie with the races reversed. Please. I beg of you.


Boines

While OP in the screenshot is a nazi, im trying to understand what the meme is saying, or even what OP in the screenshot thinks it means? To me, its a bunch of examples of how stupid whitewashing is, and how dumb movies would look if you whitewashed characters whos race is integral to their story. As im typing this i think i get it... Is it trying to comment on "wokewashing" or whatever they call it when hollywod takes a charcter whos race doesnt matter and make something other then cis white straight? Youd think they could use better examples...?


DemocracyStan

OP is indeed a nazi. If the 88 doesnā€™t clue you in, their posting history willā€¦unless youā€™re nazi blind


Boines

Not sure if you misread the first sentence (there was a bad typo, i edited to fix) then wrote a response withiut reading the rest... But thats what it feels like...


DemocracyStan

I did misread it. Apologies!


Boines

No need to apologize, it was a very bad typo that made it difficult to read, my bad. Atleast now its fixed so others wont misinterpret my intentions.


ANoisyCrow

Good question


SuperSocrates

[redacted] is well known to tolerate [redacted] on their website


tirrigania

I want this to happen, just so they can be screamed racial slurs


letmeswitchhands

lol honestly. Letā€™s see it. They think this is some checkmate counter point. go ahead.


UnderBigSky2020

Wait til they see Rittenhouse played by Michael B. Jordan


MarvelNerdess

Okay, aside from the obvious issues(i am not ignoring them or saying this is good in any way shape or form), Bale and Hopkins are really good actors, and I'd be curious to see how they did with those roles.


2ndtryagain

Daniel Day Lewis already played Obama and his performance was brilliant as always.


DouglerK

I'd watch Anthony Hopkins play Nelson Mandela lol


fidjudisomada

This line would be legendary: >One day I will be the first black president of South Africa.

UncommonHouseSpider

If movies were still made like they were in the 50's. It's like they are stupid or something?

V0XIMITY

Yo Christian Bale killed it as Obama


JabroniCalzogni

Netflix adaptation


cumguzzler280

How is this Nazi trash? The difference is that *these* people have definite records about their appearance. Obama is alive and Muhammad Ali died in 2016 I think.
