It's funny in the way that I expect no less from the right wing nutjobs. It's hilarious that they could create something like this and think anyone should take them seriously, even if what they're implying is quite serious and grim.

Again, this is NOT an attempt at South Park or Dave Chappelle humor. It is beyond crude and classless. It is a dog whistle beyond humor.
And you SHOULD give a fuck about BLM even outside this. Even MLK said, the better minorities do, the better everyone does.
BLM isn't out to get more rights or special rights. And as far as liberal politicians depicted in this do you honestly think if the video were made by liberals and the targets were GOP media or politicians they'd say, "it is merely classless"?
No they'd call for heads.
This was not simply bad humor, it was a dog whistle incitement to violence.
Okay Brian. Untangle your panties and just think for a moment.
It is just a video. Is the subject matter disturbing? Absolutely. Does it speak to a disturbing reality about right wing nutjobs? Sure. If disturbing isn't a strong enough word for, then feel fine to replace it with whatever language you deem appropriate. You seem to be missing the point of what I'm saying; maybe I'm not being clear enough.
I think the video is funny. If you don't, that's fine. I think it's silly, and in poor taste, and terrible. Sure. Yep. Check, check and check. It can be those things while also being funny. Why? Because it's utterly ridiculous, and like I said above I expect no less from certain people on the right.
And no, I don't give a fuck about BLM. Nor does anyone I know or interact with in my life. Doesn't mean I disagree with what they do or what they stand for, I just don't think about them. The video could've depicted any other number of organizations, groups or individuals that I don't care about and my reaction would be the same - don't give a fuck.
BLM just happened to be the one you mentioned.
Yes Brian, I acknowledge that this is disturbing and weird and gross. Can we move on now?
If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.
