    Lol this picture basically says “black people love crack”. This isn’t some wishy washy liberal bullshit, this is straight up racism, you fucking sausage hahaha

      I thought “Crackheads love crack” and chucked, I didn’t even notice they were all black people until “racism” was mentioned (I’m on mobile so small pic on small screen, only see shapes unless I zoom).

      But is interpreting the joke in the non-racist way any better? Generalising a large group of drug addictsv- A group many people, me included, consider “sick” and in a situation not of their choosing?

      Not really.

        At least they get invited to them. You have to be real sad and lonely to act like you do.
