They’re making a pun for a blood drive based on the gang The Bloods - who are a predominantly African American street gang.

I don’t see the racism. “What up blud” is a common greeting and jumping people in happens in gangs, Blood or otherwise. Is it the South Park depiction of the gang?

It seems it was taken down due to making light of gang culture - not because of racist implications.

Maybe I’m just out of touch, I just really don’t see how it’s racist. The Bloods exist and they’re mostly African American. The text of the post is just a shitty pun.

Fuck cops, but this is for a blood drive, which they’re not even really that involved with.

I'm not gonna nitpick because I agree largely. But ask this: should the police, out of any person or organization, be the one who make a joke like that? How about the police stay far away from turning their #1 victims into a punchline.

[–] deranger@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 days ago

I agree with this viewpoint completely, I just don’t see how strictly speaking this is racist. If I dare ask, I get accused of being a racist. No one will explain what is exactly racist about this to me, they just say, “how isn’t it racist” or downvote me. This shit is frustrating. The top comment is calling it racist and I really just don’t understand it.

how is this not a racist caricature?

wanna take odds that no black dude was involved in the making of this?

[–] deranger@sh.itjust.works -3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

So it’s South Park who’s racist, because they’re the ones who created that caricature.

[–] baines@lemmy.cafe 1 points 5 days ago (3 children)

you are either not arguing in good faith or a complete moron

this is why Chapelle had to stop his sketch show

[–] deranger@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

Please point out to me what in the text that includes the picture makes this racist then. There is so little text there, I really cannot wrap my mind around how this is racist other than the depiction of a gang. I’m not arguing at all, I’m stating my observations and feelings. Can I not even be open with my potential ignorance over how this is racist, without being accused of being a racist?

You could swap that depiction of the bloods with any other group portrayed in South Park and make a similar shitty blood drive pun… would that be racist? Can someone do this so maybe I get what’s happening here?

it’s 2025 no one is this tone deaf unless it is on purpose

not interested in your concern trolling

[–] deranger@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 days ago

I genuinely feel like you’re the one who’s trolling here. Goodbye

Chappelle also stopped because he was asked not to be a homophobe.

Por que no los dos

a pun based on

No, we got that. Everyone understood this.

It's still gross.
