Yes, the picture i posted IS racist. It's still funny though. Heres why: 1. You see the headline and you think you are about too see a touching moment. 2. You see the picture and think "Reagan feeding a chimp.. kinda touching..." 3. You see the final explanation, which is really racist, and denotes the 2 parts you see before no. 3.
I did not expect the kind of reaction this had. The joke is the shock value, induced by the racism..
I havent even seen this pic posted among far right wingers, ive only seen it posted as the joke it is.
I probably know a whole lot more about Tourettes than you do, and theres nothing wrong about lauging when watching that clip. Their ticks are funny to observers.. do you think that they are not aware of this? Do you think they want to be treated like theyre doing nothing out of the ordinary? Just ignore the ticks with awkward silence even after a bad one?
Of course, you dont point and laugh at someone with disabilities like tourettes, you learn to laugh WITH them.
The three guys in that clip, are Tourettes sufferes who function really well, and they should be treated like regular fucking human beings.
Ive had people with Tourettes yell bad words in my face a few times, and i return "FUCKTWAT!" with "SHITFACE!".. Nothing but happy laughs during those situations.
