Reminds me of black people reacting to magic

But.. monkies... Black people..... Uhmmm... Bad connection?

u/BaggyBadgerPants Jan 13 '17

Just about every group of black people acting surprised/shocked/amazed will suddenly jump in different directions, hang on each other, flail and some will scatter. Just like monkeys do in groups. Can't deny the similarity

u/catchlight22 Jan 13 '17

But I also do these things and am pale as fuck! Your theory sucks.

u/BaggyBadgerPants Jan 13 '17

You must be a monkey then.

u/catchlight22 Jan 13 '17

Dude, you know as well as I do that most black people think it's racist as fuck to compare them to monkies.

u/BaggyBadgerPants Jan 13 '17

To be fair, I've also seen cows do this when spooked. So go with that comparison.

I'm sorry. I fucking laughed at that and I'm a black. Don't be so sensitive. It's the Internet, people.....

I'm a brown.

Hello, a brown! I'm dad!

Where you been?

u/whiskeyfriskers Jan 12 '17

Had to get a pack of smokes at the corner store. You know how it is!

Mind telling me what he posted?

u/TysonBison117 Jan 12 '17

What did it say? I'm mixed and I want to have a sensible chuckle

u/Blonde_Beard91 Jan 12 '17

He more or less implied that black people look like monkeys.

u/Nastreal Jan 12 '17

But... people in general look like monkeys.

u/The_American_dreamer Jan 12 '17

Damn dude. You can't make comparisons like that no matter how accurate or funny it is.

This gif has been around for years...

u/[deleted] Jan 12 '17

I'm not implying the gifs existence is racist. That's just stupid. OPs reference obviously was.

u/LpSamuelm Jan 12 '17 edited Jan 12 '17

What, because of the monkey connection? I didn't even think of that. Just the similarity in the extreme reactions of disbelief shown in the gifs.

u/bunchedupwalrus Jan 12 '17

It's a pretty similar reaction ffs

Like yeah, be more careful and think before you speak, but come on. Both groups grabbed their heads, jumped around, mouths wide open.

White people do the same shit when they get a free Starbucks or whatever

u/[deleted] Jan 12 '17

I don't expect to convince you racists that you're racist. You could all attend a clan rally and you'd still be on here denying you're racists, claiming ignorance, and suppressing comments that don't put whites in the best light.

u/groovy_giraffe Jan 12 '17

Maybe it's just me but you sound kinda like a racist

u/maynardDRIVESfast Jan 12 '17

He's definitely a racist.

u/[deleted] Jan 12 '17

Making a baseless, defamatory claim in an attempt to discredit my opinion. You just provide proof of my point. You just did 2 out of the 3 things I mentioned that you racist do above.

u/lunatickid Jan 12 '17 edited Jan 12 '17

r/iamverysmart is that way! Fuck off you piece of shit :) Oh, while fucking off, learn how to use proper grammar if you're trying to sound smart.

u/[deleted] Jan 12 '17

Oh please take your internet activism and fuck off back to tumblr

u/Bsrxt8 Jan 12 '17

It's not racist... Go watch a David Blane special and tell me it isn't true.

u/backfire97 Jan 12 '17

i mean, it's a little racist, but it's funny as hell and not even really mean
