    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.

    Yeah, it tilts me to see these guys act all big over the internet knowing they'd be scared shit IRL.

    However, I'll also admit that I enjoyed seeing EBM being the black man up. However, it had nothing to do with his race. At the time of watching the video, I was under the impression that the black man was a "thug" slash "gangsta." Personally, I can't stand it when ANYBODY (white, black, Hispanic) give themselves the image of a gangsta. It bothers me even further when a black or Hispanic male simply let themselves fall into a negative stereotype instead of fighting it. I've always prayed to see one of these gangstas get their ass beat.

    EBM answered my prayers.
    That's how winners play; we convince the other guy he's making all the right moves.

    Any guy that acts like he did, and gets beat up like he did, how he did, by who he did, is fucking hilarious.

    This is the only truly depressing thing - I don't know what social care in the US is like but this guy has clearly slipped through the cracks - the rest of it is funny as hell.
