Weird how they don’t respect their southern heritage all of a sudden…

Anonymous asked: Yo, a lot of people in my area have #BlueLivesMatter t-shirts and bumper stickers. What do you think about me yelling "AllLivesMatter" at them?

Ok in theory, 100% they will take it as a show of support in practice because both phrases just mean White Power.

Anonymous asked: Is it acceptable for me to point out to my black friend that his homophobic statements make me uncomfortable? I'm white but for some reason pointing out his bigotry makes me feel a little odd. Or should I just tell him to fuck off in the way you advise everyone else to when they find themselves in the presence of a racist, sexist, or homophobic person?

Look, it’s all about how you feel about spending your time and if you think this person is actually reachable. The reason I usually advise people to fuck off is racists love to use up your good will on bad faith arguments, but, you know, use your best judgement.

Anonymous asked: More suggestion, maybe something that's come up before. In light of the general extra horribleness these days. How about changing the name of the show blog with one letter reverse and punctuation alteration? >> Oy, Is This Racist! << What do you think?! I called it in too, BTW...

I’m, uh, going to pass on this idea, but feel free to run with it.

Anonymous asked: Yo, is it fascist to point out that ANTIFA seem to act authoritarian towards anyone and anything that questions and critiques their motives? If so, why?

Haha, “if so” fuck you with your stupid-ass false premise. I know you’re, like, super smart for a racist, but come the fuck on.
