Top 10 Ways Black People Keep Racism Alive, According to Wypipo

Last edited Sat May 5, 2018, 09:41 PM - Edit history (1)

As one of the world’s foremost experts in the field of wypipology, I am constantly searching for ways to translate my studies into real-world applications. Fortunately, there are hundreds of white people who generously take time out of their day to accuse me of being the real racist.

These scholars keep in constant contact with me to point out how I actually keep racism alive by talking about racism.
Because I am always open to sharing the wisdom of white America, I wanted to combine the practices that tartar-saucians often describe as “race-baiting” into one top 10 countdown for those who are interested in keeping racism alive.

10. Play the Victim

One of the biggest reasons racism exists is that black people love playing the victim. It has been one of the favorite Negro pastimes ever since Africans locked themselves in chains, stowed away on American cruise ships and crossed the Atlantic Ocean...

The second point (penultimate point) is very appropriate.

2. Reason 2 is pertinent to what is going on with the other Harriot posts

I don't know if I would get in trouble for posting so much of the article here, but Harriot probably wouldn't mind. He has a good sense of humor.

2. Say “White People”

Because white people are accustomed to being seen as individuals, they hate being referred to as white people. It chaps their hides. Even laughing at the caucalicious phrase “chaps their hide” is racist, as is any variation of the term “white people,” including, but not limited to, “colonizer,” “mayonaisse American,” “undermelanated,” “a citizen of Rhythmless Nation” or “a Michael Rapaportian.”

4. I'm pretty good at triggering trolls in comment sections by lumping them in with other white people

They get mad and call me names. All I do is consider the source and persist in focusing on the subject at hand while they're too busy losing their shit.

And I always ask questions, even rhetorical ones...

I had some fun with a bunch of them about Kanye today. Ran down pretty much everything that was listed in the article.

It worked like a charm. They all eventually shut the fuck up and stopped offering their worthless, unsolicited opinions to me and moved on to greener pastures.

6. Nope, not at all. Black people have dismissed him.

White racists, however, have now generally found a new appreciation for rap music, which most of them dismissed as trash in the past.

All it’s taken was for a famous black rapper to start kissing their lily white asses.

The situation is as clear as day.

I was being sarcastic. I realize there are certain people (deplorables) who feel confused by Kanye (or somehow feel proud to adopt him as one of their own). The rest of us, not so much.

He's always been an idiot, nothing has changed.
