There are no character attacks, you posted the picture along with a prayer hoping that it wasn't racist. You knew what you were doing. Your little play on the #NiggerNavy hashtag would not work if Seal wasn't black, correct?

The character attack was calling me out from the other thread as though I am in camp Bo Bice, which is wholly wrong. I could quote you line by line from that thread and prove you wrong, but I won't.

I didn't create the tag, but like I said, the best jokes are funny with a little sting. I can see from the deafening silence that no one found it funny.

You as an intelligent person could tell that I didn't want any part of the word "nigger".

No, you thought you would be clever and get in on the #NiggerNavy joke without using nigger but come on let's stop pretending you didn't know it would be taken as "NiggerNavySeal."
You knew exactly what you were doing. Is Seal a nigger?

This person is not black and made a non-nigger joke just fine.

Let's keep this about the memes

 

[Speevy]

Is Seal a nigger?
.

Of course not.

 

[Enzom21]

Of course not.

But NiggerNavySeal was your joke, correct?

 

[StrategyFan]

could be a marketing play

perhaps the first time a yahoo product has been trending since the 90s

 

[Speevy]

But NiggerNavySeal was your joke, correct?

No, Navy Seal was my joke. That he is black just happened to be part of the general direction the posts in the topic were taking.

You're not going to get me to say I wanted to call anyone that word, no matter how many times you bring it up.

It was simply a joke about a black person and a play on words. It's that simple. I do not use that word to describe people.

Especially I wouldn't just randomly call out a musician for it. Bigotry is generally given a target that has meaning for the person hating. This person had the name Seal.

Please let this go.

 

[hipbabboom]

If it involves trump, I'm surprised it wasn't "niggly" or "nig-league".

Of course not, you'll just keep pretending you weren't trying to get in on that "nigger" joke fun.
It was a joke that relates to the NiggerNavy hashtag otherwise you wouldn't have made it. You tried to be clever and sneaky... it wasn't, you weren't.

Let's keep this about the memes

You're right, back to the "nigger" jokes!
Speevy a little help.

Very unfortunate typo. Some of these tweets though lol.

People trying to weasel their way out of getting called out for a race based joke is a tale as old time.

Topic: #niggernavy

'isn't this funny guys? Because it's a pun?!? Based on his name only? And definitely not a joke I made because the artist is black in a topic about #niggernavy

Is this a N word thread..... cause it seems like a N word thread

Smh

 

[Dreams-Visions]

LMAO.

Yahoo, pls. It's only 140 characters. You can spell check.

holy shit.

 

[Dmax3901]

How is your little play on words any different than all of the people who thought it would be clever to post pictures of Trans characters in a thread about game traps?

Oh god did this happen? I fucking knew this would happen.

 

[msdstc]

Obviously "bigger" but someone has typed the n word so much that the device they use "auto corrected." Telling.

oh ffs, give me a break.

It's annoying when people (like Speevy in this case) can't just stand by their joke and got to make excuses. Just own it, don't try to put disclaimers and shit.

 

[Slayven]

Black Twitter is the only thing of value on twitter

 

[ChouGoku]

HAHAHA fuuck

 

[the_batman]

Yahoo hoping for that Trump bailout.

 

[Phatosaurus]

I can't decide if this is racist. Please God forgive me if it is.

This slayed me to be honest.

 

[Darryl M R]

Black Twitter is amazing with the jokes.

Also lol @ the accounts (mostly bots or fake pictures of random people) saying "It would be racist if there was a White Twitter."


L's

Also I'm glad it looks like it happened when a lot of people were asleep. It looks like Black Twitter was having a good laugh at their own expense and it becomes less humorous when non-Blacks join in and push the joke too far.

 

[strafer]

lol. What is this from?

Hot Shots I believe.

EDIT: Already answered. Dammit, didn't notice this thread had 3 pages.

Knew I'd be late with that one. Do-over!

I'm still amazed that Yahoo are still around sometimes. It sure ended up beating MSN and Hotmail at the end of the day, that's for sure.
