Since I don't know you, how am I to know if you are joking or being serious, when nothing about the way you typed that says sarcasm? No dopey smiley, no eyeroll, no /sarcasm, nothing. And you did not just post a video. You posted a video and included your own comments about it. While those comments were not kkk level, they were insensitive and displayed soft racism.(August 18, 2016 at 12:24 pm)Aroura Wrote: There was nothing about that phrasing that sounded sarcastic. Seems like backpedalling to me.
I showed this video of some black people doing stupid shit then some accusation of racism starts.
So I jokingly say if it's racist that means this video represents black people as a race and I hope that isn't the case.
I don't get how someone couldn't see I'm being sarcastic, I thought it would be impossible.
That would mean I've never met a black people who could speak English well who didn't want to burn and loot buildings and how likely do you think that is?
If you don't want to be viewed as racist, then don't say racist things and assume people can tell sarcasm on the Internet without a textual clue to said sarcasm.
