NAACP Needs to Lurk Moar

[Theb]

Kirtland crushed Painesville Harvey during Friday night's high school football game, but it was what happened after the game that has people talking.

"At the conclusion of the game, some of their students and parents put up a sign that we believe was racial intimidation, ethnic intimidation," said Roderick Coffee, president of the Lake County chapter of the NAACP, who was also at the game.

"For them to put it up there that was bad sportsmanship, too," Painesville Harvey football player, Jerome Becks said.

The big sign read: 'You Mad Bro.'

"I think the reference to 'bro' in the sign definitely has a racial connection to it," said Michael Hanlon, superintendent for Painesville City Schools.

You can see the sign in the link. If this is what racism looks like today then racism no longer exists in any serious form and I think we can consider the problem solved.

Sounds to me like we know who was mad.

But since when is "bro" a racial word?

Really the only time I heard bro before that meme was describing drunk frat college guys.

Since black people always assume everyone is a racist.

getting ridiculous. So tired of the NAACP and Al Sharpton Jesse jackson playing the race card day in day out.

Well, when you consider the source, it's obvious everyone is racist.

Hate to say it, but the most racist people I know aren't white or Asian or Native American........and I live in the South.

 

[mwtgg]

Yeah... they mad.

There are no black people on the internet.

Every time someone of color doesnt get their way they threaten a lawsuit. And if that doesnt work they get special interest groups to fight their battles for them.

Its kinda sad, making a society of professional victims really doesnt do shit for America.

It's called me not thinking or paying attention to what I am typing.
Which is bad since I have classes starting tomorrow.

If I felt like rewording it, it would still work but just putting what was suppose to be is easier.

I wonder what % of people actually "get" internet memes

it must be really small

at least the reporter had the mind to google it before completing her story

 

[Exterous]

Well - I for one feel better knowing there is no bigger issue, nothing more important facing this country so we are free to get upset about this

 

[GuitarDaddy]

That was senseless and very racist! Every one knows that

You mad bra? would have been completely exceptable, but

You mad bro? is clearly over the top and designed to enrage

The first one is clearly inappropriate due to sexual references. We should not talk about 'bras' in front of children

I suppose it depends on the meme.
Nyan cat has 35 million views/400,000 likes. I could easily see that 10 million unique viewers have watched it.
Something like this, though:

Is probably just a few thousand.
(Background: Some wasted guy allowed his friend to tattoo a Troll Physics meme on his thigh. It came out awful. Tattooist posted pics on /b/. Lulz were had. Some drawfag then whipped that up as "the new troll face" -- it was exactly what the face on the tattoo looked like.)
