the brutal truth is, even accounting for being trans, if you're white, your life will literally never back as difficult, all other things being equal, as a black person
This is something many people don't like to think about.

Gee I wonder why no one cares to argue about opinions that mean nothing one way or the other.

Well, he has the Clayton Bigsby stuff. My mom hated that. Her family was killed by the KKK. He has jokes about Asian people especially the stuff that all Asians look alike. He has those jokes about Michael Jackson molesting kids and them lying about it.

Hell, most of the Chappelle show was based on stereotypes.

as I said earlier its ironic hes telling jokes about this because its literally why he quit his show

Hmm weird. I don't have to worry about my family disowning me because I'm black. I don't have to worry about my peers calling me some kind of sideshow freak because I'm black. I don't have to worry about possibly getting murdered by people on dating apps in "black panic defense". I don't have to worry about bathroom discrimination laws because I'm black

There are major, major problems regarding discrimination against black people in America but what you're saying is really fucking stupid. Shut the fuck up

literally oppression olympics angle.

I had never heard it before, maybe it wouldn't be as funny if people had made this comparison everywhere before but I personally haven't witnessed it

So saying being trans is a white thing is disingenuous at the absolute best

Dave makes a point in one of his specials that Gay and Trans issues only get the magnification in America BECAUSE it's predominately white. That if it was a mostly minority issue that it wouldnt be such a big deal.

I can't say I agree or disagree with that assessment because I feel like those rights would benefit all in the community but I've heard from my gay friends who are POC that there's a lot of racism in the LGBTQ community that is swept under the rug.

if there's such a huuuuge issue with it, then the debater shouldn't have a problem finding a better way to prove his point than to resort to something as idiotic and pathetic as oppression olympics.

ITP: problems unique to 1 community suddenly invalidates the centuries of systemic abuse AA face and continue to face in this country. the brutal truth is, even accounting for being trans, if you're white, your life will literally never back as difficult, all other things being equal, as a black person



No, the actual reality of the situation is both communities are abused in different ways, and while one isn't "more important" than another I know for a fact that I don't have to worry about the same things transgender people do

Also your whole angle is especially stupid because like... there are black transgender people too. So...

Youve been shitposting on CE long enough that youve absolutely read some version of this joke. Ha ha fake lady! is not witty.
no I really had never heard the comparison with vegan food lol

I'm not really sure which part people are offended by, are we pretending that a reconstructed vagina is the exact same as a natural one?

like impossible burgers are pretty good and quite close to the real meat counterpart so if anything that was a testament to how well done the surgeries are, some people are turned off by impossible burgers though which is fine I guess, to each their own

doesnt suck to not be a transphobic person tbh
ah I dunno you always post about how miserable you are on this very board, and you also said you couldn't find anything funny about minorities being dunked on

what if it's the majority being dunked on, is that funny then?

A lot of the same people bouncing between Dave "telling the truth" and "saying outrageous shit" were the ones thinking Archie Bunker was saying what we were all thinking.

I also think Lethal Weapon in Sunny is fucking hilarious because I know it's deliberately offensive by characters that are deliberately awful.

I thought it was funny because I thought the comparison was well done and fair, also the delivery was good, I think most non-insecure trans people would also find it funny

it's like if they'd make a stereotypical offensive joke about blondes, should you automatically not find it funny because you're a blonde?

Which is not an argument in favor of being an asshole towards LGBTQ people. Its an argument that America is racist. But anyone who separates Black people out of the LGBTQ community is deliberately doing a disservice to both Black and LGBTQ people.

Yeah but it's different when the LGBTQ community itself is separating black people and other minorities from it.

Depends on whether or not it was satire.

Would you find it peculiar if someone laughed at a bit mocking Jeff Dunham, but not at his own stupid fucking puppets?
