You may not like the show at all, but South Park gets away with ridiculous, insulting stereotypes because there’s a story providing context. They’re often doing it to make some kind of point about American culture.
This tweet can’t claim any of that. It’s simply racist.
Racist and tone deaf. Tracks for pigs. I’ll allow it.
This is how these pigs view all black people. Maybe don’t advertise your racism when police brutality has been such a big issue for decades? That would require critical thinking, though, and we know cops are never smart.
They’re making a pun for a blood drive based on the gang The Bloods - who are a predominantly African American street gang.
I don’t see the racism. “What up blud” is a common greeting and jumping people in happens in gangs, Blood or otherwise. Is it the South Park depiction of the gang?
It seems it was taken down due to making light of gang culture - not because of racist implications.
Maybe I’m just out of touch, I just really don’t see how it’s racist. The Bloods exist and they’re mostly African American. The text of the post is just a shitty pun.
Fuck cops, but this is for a blood drive, which they’re not even really that involved with.
are bloods and crips still a thing
Yes, but they are each multiple different things. It’s complicated.
Yeah but fascists/pedos/nazis have taken center stage
Yeah. The high school I worked in had 107hoovas, which is a group of Crips. Pretty sure we had Bloods too, but the hoovas were the ones defacing my desks. Also worked with some South Side Locos.
Kid walked out of my chemistry once to go jump someone in the bathroom, because they ignored gang lines when redrawing the district and put rival gangs in the same high school. He only got one day of suspension, and they threw away the write up I gave him for walking out because he also got written up for the “beating the shit out of someone in the bathroom” thing and they didn’t want to “punish him twice for the same incident”.
Edit: I just googled that kids name. He died 2 years after I knew him. Fuck. He was smart, he was capable, he just made god awful decisions.
That was really their name?!
You’re listening to 107.5 The Hoovas! (Gun cocking sound) The tri-state area’s number one source (n-n-number one s-s-s-ource) for all the best classic rock! With Johnny Gonads and Kelly Smokeytits in the morning! Weather (thunder clap) on the fives and traffic (tire screech) on the sevens!
Yes
Say what you will, this ad and the associated blood drive will get a lot of eyeballs now…
I think they just want your blood.
