It's interesting that this has had a life of its own, when it was a dig at a controversial 70s book "Black Like Me," where a white man posed as a black man to write a book about black culture.

[@doofus0123]

Excellent.... I kept looking for a comment that referenced the book!

[@rooseveltbrentwood9654]

In the early 90s there was a graphic novel called “White like She” about an old black man who’s consciousness is transferred into the body of a young white woman. Well worth the read if you like alternative comics.

[@mememinimalism]

I feel like in a less racist world this sketch would be just as controversial as the book.

[@genewickersham4593]

The book "Black Like Me" was a serious sociology research project, but it had some funny bits. The guy goes to the South in black makeup to document how he would be treated as a Black man. There was a 'safe house' arranged on the edge of town owned by a sympathetic Jewish family. When he arrived, he was presented with black towels for his bath. Every one laughed explosively because it was such an absurd joke.

In the 80's the bank loan one was a joke... in 2000's they actually freaking did it with the subprime mortgage crisis. (In a nutshell, they really did give huge number of loans that they knew they could take forever to pay back and fully expected them to never be paid back at all.)

[@Treblaine]

Tommy Hass They did it for EVERYONE. It's not a racial issue, it's a stupidity issue. Or more precisely, a fraud issue that so many people stupidly were suckered into. They basically found a way to make money in hilariously bad business deals and everyone was too dumb to see their blatant scheming.

[@Treblaine]

Tommy Hass Yeah, because only black people couldn't afford 6 figure loans. Oh wait, that's bullshit. The only possible criteria for a loan is race, not relevant examples like actual proven and measure income. Oh no, that's bullshit again! Fuck off you racist shit-stain. " for the simple reason that whites and blacks are not equally intelligent or forward thinking." (1) Verifiably false. (2) doesn't even matter if it was, it's about whether they will pay or not. Some very smart people con their way out of paying. " However, the banks are not allowed to do this, since this is "diskriminashun". Hence, housing crash." No, they can't do that people not a single fucking person thinks that racial discrimination is remotely accurate. Income discrimination IS accurate, these sneaky loan traders are guilty of FAILING TO DISCRIMINATE! But discriminate based on the numbers rather than who their fucking daddy was. That means Michael Jordan gets a big loan, but a 100% white but minimum-wage part-time worker doesn't. I know exactly your sort. You ARE that minimum-wage-part-time or unemployed loser who thinks you can get a free ride for being white. Well sorry but white privilege doesn't actually exist, you can't wish it into existence.

[@Treblaine]

Tommy Hass "How can you verify that blacks are as intelligent or more intelligent than whites? Protip: YOU CAN'T!" Black children adopted by white families perform statistically IDENTICALLY to their demographic. You take them out of the cycles of poverty, and under-funded schools and they do great. Put a white kid in the same shitty environment and they do crap. "Everything that could be used to measure intelligence and time preference points to blacks being less intelligent." Actually nothing does. And correlations don't count as a measurement. It's like saying that having testicles gives you lung cancer, when it is simply that men smoke more. "I don't see the need to further respond to you, because you're nowhere near tall enough for this ride." Fuck off then, good riddance you racist moron..

[@Treblaine]

Tommy Hass Ohh You say I'm unbelievable when you said: "I don't see the need to further respond to you, " Only to be back AGAIN repeating the same idiotic claims. You're so full of shit. "Look up the transracial adoption studies in Minnesota." No other study has found the same results, not all the studies before, not all the studies since. More studies have "proven" that Smoking cigarettes doesn't cause cancer You think the distinction between correlation and causation is a fallacy. Jesus fucking Christ, that's so fucking stupid. Now do as you say you'd do and fuck off.
