Hilarious.

Absolutely fucking hilarious.

[–]waviecrockett 36 points37 points ago

Only comment that doesn't mention dude being black.

[–]Bixby66 18 points19 points ago

What does this have to do with him being black?

[–]waviecrockett 13 points14 points ago

It doesn't have anything to do with him being black and neither does the content of the image. That's what I was pointing out. Yet all the other comments I saw were about him being black.

In my experience, when a picture of a black person doing anything on reddit is posted there's a bunch of comments about black people. This definitely happens about as much with asian people too and then a little less with other races. But if a white person is posted, no one mentions their race unless it's perceived as doing something 'black' or whatever

Short of enjoying a mayo sandwich in a striped polo shirt yeah I see your point.

[–]Azartic 0 points1 point ago

The hell is a mayo sandwich? Is it just like bread with mayo and that's it? Or is any sandwich with mayo on it automagically a mayo-sandwich?

what (b)lack man said

[–]DopeMan_RopeMan -4 points-3 points ago

The content of the image has nothing to do with a man being black? He's black.

Racism is scummy, but so is being adamantly opposed to discussing race. We aren't all the same, embrace the differences instead of hiding from them.

[–]axel-foley 5 points6 points ago

"Niggas gonna nig" and "hey he's a black dad at least he stuck around" isn't discussing race. I'm not going to tell somebody what jokes they can and can't make but let's not pretend making the same shitty jokes over and over again is discussing race.

[–]Transflail 0 points1 point ago

Well to be fair, the person who commented "Niggers gonna Nig" has a user name of "A_Racist_Nigger" so I'm pretty sure they're a troll and not representative of general opinion.

The other guy is an ignorant shit.

[–]axel-foley 1 point2 points ago

Definitely, that's why I wouldn't reply to him calling him stupid or some shit because he wants somebody to. I was just saying it's fucking stupid to pretend there are a bunch of armchair scholars hanging around /r/wtf waiting to discuss race relations.

[–]DopeMan_RopeMan -2 points-1 points ago

There were definitely plenty of stupid adolescent "OH MY GOD GUYS I GET TO USE A RACIAL SLUR!" jokes in this bitch, but people these days expect you to walk on egg shells whenever minorities are involved.

Racial oversensitivity perpetuates racism.

[–]axel-foley 0 points1 point ago

A lack of discussion results in a lack of understanding of other people so I agree with you there but again, let's not pretend that a productive discussion regarding race is going to occur on /r/wtf. Like I said I don't get offended by shit I see on the internet so I don't really give a shit when people crack old reused jokes but don't try and pretend like saying niggas gonna nig is helping break down racial barriers and people being sensitive to corny racist jokes is perpetuating racism.

[–]DopeMan_RopeMan 0 points1 point ago

You already said that in your first reply, even after I explained that I wasn't defending those types of comments.

[–]qizarate -2 points-1 points ago

You're literally talking out of your ass.

Hilarious. Absolutely fucking hilarious.

Gives weird new meaning to the term "Yeah, suck it baby."

I was going to make a racist comment. Then I realized the majority of people I know that would do this are white.

I'll laugh my ass off when the dad walks in on his kid 16 years later, doing the same thing to his boyfriend.

Don't forget to hate the person taking the photo.

People see and call out racism/sexism/etc on Reddit all the time, but the reality is people see what they want to see.

[–]axel-foley -1 points0 points ago

I see plenty of times where blatant racism is at the top and I also see threads like this one where it is downvoted, both happen pretty often. My guess would be that the racist comments were at the top before enough time passed for people to downvote them, which happens pretty often too.

[–]qizarate -2 points-1 points ago

I checked for racist comments and there really weren't many. And I don't think BLATANT racism is ever upvoted on Reddit. Reddit upvotes things that make them laugh, so light-hearted racism, maybe. But that's still milder than shit I encounter outside of Reddit, so I never really understood what people are up in arms about.

I'm not saying there isn't some level of racism here, because obviously there is in society as a whole. It's just that Reddit downvotes the shit I find awful, and usually upvotes the stuff that's funny, even if it is offensive.

That's normal and fine by me.

[–]axel-foley 0 points1 point ago

The shit doesn't bother me but I can understand it bothering other people. I spend a fair amount of time on different 4chan boards so people cracking nigger and faggot jokes don't bother me. The problem I see with reddit is it kind of reminds me of Dave Chappelle's dilemma when he still had his show and people would come up to him seriously agreeing with the racist jokes he would make. Sure a lot of people take it as light hearted humor but you're fooling yourself if you don't think a large percentage of those upvotes come from people in total agreement with what is supposed to be a joke.

[–]i8ramen 3 points4 points ago

So, it's placed in the wrong subreddit. Not sure what to upvote

he will spend his last days alone in a retirement home

[–]SubversiveMustache 0 points1 point ago

I don't think this is that bad. It's a father taking the time to bottle-feed his baby. He slips in a visual gag of questionable taste, but I don't think that's enough to call him a deadbeat.

[–]killdevilhill 1 point2 points ago

I came from a comedy show, and I laughed harder at this picture than anything else I laughed at tonight. Its just a funny dad thing to do

[–]AManateeAmongMen 0 points1 point ago

OH MY GOSH! I hope they recycle that plastic bottle.

[–]samnnz 1 point2 points ago

Not cool.

[–]BrittanyRenegade 2 points3 points ago

I'm hoping like hell that this is just an accidentally fucked up pic, like he was just holding the bottle awkward or trying to find something to prop it up with and the pic was just badly timed.. On the other hand people are pretty fucked up.

[–]NWVoS 2 points3 points ago

What adults can't have a sense of humor? Not like it actually means anything.

[–]Ninjasteevo -1 points0 points ago

I laughed at this...am I going to hell?

[–]hurdur1 1 point2 points ago

Exactly what I'm going to do with my kids.

[–]razgriz337 -2 points-1 points ago

Wow. A guy that I went to high school with post this picture on facebook a few months ago and it popped up on my news feed. That's not him in the photo but I'm guessing its one of his friends.
