Oh dear God I love the neverending fountain of wank that is Public Folders. Watch as TOTALLY INNOCENT topics such as the unfortunate death of a celebrity become pages of comments displaying increasingly fuzzy steps in logic! Comments have been paraphrased, though I am not AT ALL exaggerating their tone.
Laurel: Richard Pryor died. :(
Asia: Oh, how sad! I was a big fan of his work! He will be missed.
Amanda: Asia, what the hell is wrong with you?
Suha: Asia, are you being sarcastic?
Asia: Bzuh?
Amanda: Richard Pryor is black, and his standup routine reflects that. I just assumed, based on a weird interpretation of your earlier comments in an ongoing wank, that you believed slavery was a myth. Nobody has ever been as oppressed as the black people.* You don't appreciate him! Unless you're talking about his Gene Wilder movies.
Asia: I was talking about his Gene Wilder movies.
Michelle: Clearly, if you are only familiar with those movies, you are not a true Richard Pryor fan, nor can you properly mourn his death. Blah blah tl;dr. Have you ever heard the term "white priviledge [sic]"? blah blah blah look at this website for more information on the oppression of black people, and if you ever want to talk about it, my number is xxxx.
Heather: My thoughts onyaoi oppression**: blah blah blah ginormous paragraph blah tl;dr
*I did respond to this with a sarcastic post in which I suggested (seriously) that perhaps the Jews were, historically, a more oppressed group, for example. Honestly, the suggestion that black people were obviously the most oppressed people of all time was one of the stupider of the coherent statements I've seen over there lately.
**She really said this! The subject line of her post was "My take on the issue of oppression"!
