    What? Context exists. Historically, we’ve enslaved peoples, we’ve genocided peoples, and so on. And yes, sometimes yhis entails different treatment of those peoples to right those wrongs. Pretending otherwise is some white lives matter shit.

    It is worse to say the n word than it is to say cracker, and I will die on that hill.

      Exactly context exists. So why is it totally thrown out in your argument? Political satire is the prevailing context, political caricatures. By nature they are meant to be offensive.

      It is worse to say the n word than it is to say cracker, and I will die on that hill.

      That is false equivalence. Also comparing the n-word to ''loud poor idiot" is wild.

      Making an offensive depiction of a black person is not racist. Making an offensive depiction of a jewish person is not anti-jewish. And as long as we are getting offended on behalf of entire groups, I am offended on behalf of all black and all jewish people because you think they are so tribally thin skinned that they need special protections against something the other ethnicity politicians hang on their walls.

      Hey let me try one : So because movies had racist depictions of black people, no black people should be allowed in movies? Actually that isn’t such far off false equivalence now is it? That is what you want for political satire.

      E:Look up street caricature artists some funny shit out there dude lighten up fight an actual problem talk to an actual activist see where your efforts will be valued.
