what& #39;s wrong with it is that I don& #39;t really like the idea of these murderers being a funny joke to white people.
"why can& #39;t I make light of something that& #39;s terrorizing black people? it& #39;s in the spirit of shaming racists."
no. it allows you to maintain a distance from white supremacy by turning it& #39;s violent agents into clowns for your amusement.

surely, there& #39;s a better way to confront racism than turning lynch mobs into cartoons.
(also, these "shaming" jokes often just devolve into gay jokes)
i guess these people mean well, but i can& #39;t help but think a moment of self-reflection & thought would provide them with the answers to their questions.
