Black person, my dude. A full blown, dark skinned, african descent, descendent-of-slaves black american citizen. Not a character.

    I'm happy you got your little endorphin rush picking this trivial fight but what I said was in no way deserving of your condescension.

    One could even argue it's more relevant to clarify it was a character and not just a random guy in private to drive home the significance of it being televized.

    I won't, though, because anyone nitpicking a comment like that is barely worth the time to tell off.

    No fight here, random person. Or condescension.

    You do you, champ. Black folks are "characters" in your world. At least that's an upgrade on how your grandparents talked about black folks...

    You clearly learned nothing from that "black character" or the fact that Fred Rogers wanted kids to see black folks as equal, respectable, dignified citizens. Not "characters"...

    You're right, there was no condescension there. I should have known you were coming from a place of genuine concern, my dude. You were able to learn everything about this clearly ignorant fool from one comment and used it as an opportunity to educate them. We're all so proud of you for carrying on the leftist tradition of infighting over the dumbest shit imaginable.

    That's hobbyless behavior.

    Champ.

    Black folks are "characters" to you and that's how you do things in your life.

    You do you.

    Champ.

    All right so opinions on if I'm secretly racist or not aside..let's have a quick chat about comedic insults.

    You got hit with a classic "emphasizing their patronizing word choice by making it a whole sentence" and then you...used it right back? You have effectively just said "no, YOU'RE the butthead!!!" like a child in their first argument who hasn't developed wit. But this is worse because there was no rush to reply. You had time to craft a clever jab and opted to repeat the joke instead. What does that say about you?

    Not that it was all that clever to begin with but you have to realize that this just doesn't hit nearly as hard when you're the second person to say it. You don't look cool, you look like the cheap copy.

    I'll catch you in another thread, hombre
