I find all this a bit depressing. I think there is some seriously deep seated racism on the internet and on 4chan or /b/ whatever u wanna call it.
Yes its funny and a lot of the vids/memes etc are well made, but it doesn't hide the fact (I think) that a lot of the reason people find this funny is because a black man (who fitted a lot of stereotypes) got beaten up by a white guy.
Clearly the white man has mental health issues. Clearly the black guy was drunk. What the fuck makes this so celebratory???
I really find /b/ racist. And the defence of its beyond racist in a post modern way and therefore not racist or that a lot of black people find it funny/ use /b/ doesn't defend it in my book.
The majority or people using /b/ i'd guess are white men aged 14-25 who wouldn't dream of saying any of that shit, but think they can say these things because its on a forum.
Prob just me, but I find it really, really depressing.
