This is how these pigs view all black people. Maybe don't advertise your racism when police brutality has been such a big issue for decades? That would require critical thinking, though, and we know cops are never smart.

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.

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.
