On this episode all about Black Panther, Matt and I recount our harrowing experiences trying to see film as white men, and Tony is once again tricked into liking a problematic MLK meme. Also: we find out who the REAL racists are (it's black people), pose our own theories about why Black Panther is making white people crazy, and FINALLY celebrate the REAL Black Panther: Dr. Ben Carson.

They get to learn what'll happen if they want to commit suicide later.
Learn how to do it.
The dentist?
Yeah, with sleeping gas.
Well, they have a really high suicide rate.
Dentists do?
Yeah.
That makes sense of what I thought I had about dentists.
Because, like, everybody hates them.
They all look the same.
Suicidal?
They all have that suicidal look?
They all have a soul patch.
Okay, yeah, the cool ones.
And, like, athletic prescription glasses.
And, like, kind of flowy hair.
And kind of like a fake tan.
Definitely fake tan.
It's to make their teeth look wider.
Yep.
Give me some more dialogue so I can check your levels.
My day, I have anxiety.
And that's just today.
That was your day?
A very anxious day?
Yeah.
Do you take anything for it?
No, I don't.
You don't?
Can it be?
Okay.
Okay, self-medicate, yeah.
Well, that's all self-medicated, isn't it?
You put the pill in yourself?
Yeah, I guess that technically counts as self-medicating.
I guess they really should call it self-prescribing.
What if I go to the doctor specifically to get, like, an anal insert?
Then that's not self-medicating.
That's, like, professional medication.
That's what we're going for with single-payer.
That's what we want with Medicare.
Anally-administered Medicare for all!
You get an in-home nurse that puts all drugs in your butt.
All drugs should just go in the butt.
That's my opinion.
They work better that way.
You get higher.
Or, you get better quicker.
And, like, you don't have to taste them.
You know?
Exactly.
Stick that Robitussin in your butt.
No, I have to taste them.
Well, if you'd let them dissolve, if you'd wait a second.
Oh, that's true.
Yeah, man.
That's true.
Jesus Christ.
You gotta give it ten minutes.
Impatient over there.
Yeah.
You need to chill.
I'm just picturing you, like, doing, like, an impatient dance while I administer my butt medicine.
Yeah.
The liberals are destroying California, and conservative humor gone ray.
Conservative humor gone awry is going to fascist phonia today, so stay tuned.
We're going to take a few pictures of the desert and how their policies are actually messing it up.
It's not beautiful when you go across that border.
But stay tuned, guys.
We'll show you exactly what it looks like when you're going to destroy the deserts.
Follow their environmental stars.
Stay tuned.
Okay, uh...
I'm Alexander Edward.
I'm Mountain Matt.
And I'm Tony Boswell.
And we are Minion Death Cult.
The world is ending.
Who's responsible this week?
Black Panther?
Black Panther is responsible.
We're documenting it.
Yeah.
We got a super fun show for you folks.
First of all, I want to thank our first two Blue Star Boys.
Yeah!
Yes!
First ever Patreon supporters.
I totally forgot to do this, so I'm not prepared at all.
I am pulling you guys up right now.
Yeah, so we started the new Patreon bonus episode.
Basically, every week you get two episodes, but there's a catch.
You gotta pay for it.
It costs some money.
It costs a little bit of money.
Okay, you'll still get that.
You don't want to pay?
That's fine.
You know, we respect that.
We don't want to pay for a lot of things, too.
But if you do want a second episode of Minion Death Cult every week, there is a way you can do it, and it is cheap.
It is $3.11 every month for four episodes.
Patreon did it.
Four hours.
We talked to Patreon, our people talked to their people, our minions talked to their minions, and we got it done.
That hashtag Patreon movement really...
It really helped.
It really took off.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Thanks, guys.
Thank you.
Really grassroots organic hashtag Patreon campaign on Twitter and Instagram and Facebook.
Yep.
That was a good thinking, Matt.
It's like Me Too.
You just like that, but with arguably, like, better results for us.
Like, Me Too was for them.
This is like Me Too for us.
Not only that, but we actually have something to quantify at the end.
We actually have a number of an achievement that we're going to get at the end where this is, you know, that's just kind of symbolic.
Right, there's a lot of abusers who will go unpunished, and that's not the fault of me too, that's just the facts.
But no, we got results!
This is bad, I should not have taken this tack!
We're not chasing waterfalls here.
Yeah, anyway, so our two blue star boys are, and reminder that boy is a gender neutral term, there's no need to Gender everything, you know?
Why gender a word?
You spelled it properly for it to be gender-neutral.
B-O-I.
B-O-I.
That's the gender-neutral version.
Okay.
Jason McFarlane, thank you so much, Jason.
Thanks, dude.
And subscribing at $3.11, like we said.
And then we got Casey Adler, who just apparently wanted to make Jason look bad, because he did.
Kind of nailed it.
Donated $4.20!
So we got $3.11 and $4.20.
And... I gotta ask you guys, like... Which number is chiller?
Which is the chiller denomination between $4.20 and $3.11?
I'm going to have to say 420 because sometimes that rap reggae rock can be a little abrasive.
It's a little too hype sometimes.
A little too much.
Not 311 though.
They're chill rap rock.
Even down?
I mean down starts with chill but that shit goes hard too.
That's true.
I've heard they have mosh pits.
That's true they do.
I kind of agree with you Tony.
I kind of think that 420 is chiller than 311 because I feel like 311 owes a lot to 420.
Oh absolutely.
- Oh, absolutely. - Okay. - And like, you know, like Bob Marley invented 420. - Yeah, Bob Marley invented 420. - And 311 owes a lot, at least, to Bob Marley.
And Spencer's invented Bob Marley.
So 420 owes a lot to Spencer's.
Right.
Yeah, anyway, the point is, we got a new Patreon.
Patreon.com slash MinionDeathCult.
Bonus episode every Monday.
This episode comes out Wednesday.
There was a bonus episode this week too, the previous Monday, okay?
$3.11 a month gets you that at patreon.com slash MinionDeathCult.
And thanks again to our Blue Star Boys, Jason McFarlane and Casey Adler.
We really appreciate your support guys.
Thanks so much!
Patreon's where you can come for original content.
Beautiful plug, beautiful segue.
That's their slogan.
Okay, so today's show, we got just a rip-roaring show for you folks today because we are talking about The new Marvel movie, Black Panther.
A marvelous Marvel movie.
By all rights, a huge success.
A huge movie.
Not everybody feels that way about it.
Some people think it was an utter failure because it did not address their personal grievances toward black people.
Right.
Which I guess is, you know, a fair compromise or a fair criticism.
It did not, you know, do those things for those people.
Yeah, so it's a failure.
But in many ways a success.
In quantifiable ways, I guess.
So we're going to be talking about various reactions to the movie found on Facebook.
They were just, you know, wonderful.
Ranging from utterly hideous and disgusting to very, very silly and fun.
The last one we're ending on is probably my personal favorite about Mr. Excuse me, Dr. Ben Carson.
And so that's what we're building toward with this episode.
But first, I just wanted to start off with... Do we all see the movie?
Yeah, we're inside.
Did you see it?
I did see it, so I went.
I was really excited.
Good movie.
Great movie.
Sat through the whole thing.
Really touched me when it was over.
I asked the black couple next to me if they could sign my ticket stub for me.
I figured they were probably involved with the production somehow.
uh the only thing is there's been a bit of a hiccup when i was when i was walking out of the theater um uh a few uh what do you what do you call it like thugs i guess you call them uh approached me and they were like You know, hey, what movie did you see?
And I was like, you know, uh, I saw the Panther movie.
They said, uh, that's Black Panther.
You're, you're white.
You're not allowed to see that.
You're not, that's our movie.
And I said, well, I just thought it was called Panther.
Like, I don't see color.
Yeah.
So like, I literally like, I didn't know it was called Black Panther until I heard them say it out loud, because I couldn't read the word black, you know?
And they beat me up.
Fuck, man.
They beat me up, and they also saw that I had Reese's Pieces.
They were peanut butter cups, actually.
They were like, you can't eat peanut butter.
That's our food item.
We invented it.
It's not- it's not for you.
Yeah, it's not for you, dude.
And- and then, like, while they were be- Did you insist?
Yeah, but we covered him in candy.
We coated the peanut butter in candy.
I tried!
I tried!
This is a group effort here.
When, uh... And then when they were beating me up, like, one of my earbuds fell out, and of course Eminem was playing, and they heard the Eminem, and I was like, oh no, here we go, you know?
Oh boy.
And then, but, so, no, they were like, no, Eminem's cool, like, he's actually, like, a really good rapper.
Yeah.
Probably one of the best, so that's... They gave me a pass on that, but, like, still kicked my ass for seeing the movie.
Well, I mean Eminem is the best rapper of all time, dude.
So I'm glad he got you out of that.
Got me out of a further ass beating.
Yeah, yeah.
So, uh, how was your experience, Matt?
It's funny you say you got your ass kicked because I had a similar endeavor going to see Black Panther.
Yeah?
How similar?
Well, accostingly similar.
Similar in the accosting way.
I was going to see Black Panther and I was walking up with my girlfriend and I was pretty excited.
There's a lot of hype on this movie.
It's a good movie.
Really good movie.
No, I really liked it a lot.
Just unfortunate about the ass-beating.
Yeah, so I...
Was stoked about going to see the movie real excited Saw a group of black people walking up next to me and I was just like Yo, yo, yo!
What's up, you guys?
Are you going to see the Black Panther movie?
What's up?
Word up!
And they loved that because that's how black people talk.
No, they did not love that, Alex.
They pushed me and my girlfriend up against the railing of the walkway.
Hold on.
Fuck, I lost it.
Well, yeah, it's understandable that you would lose your train of thought after such a vicious encounter.
It was traumatic.
But you're smiling right now, so that makes me question whether or not you really went through this traumatic experience.
I learned that on Reddit and...
4chan that like if anybody smiles it means they never had a right like traumatic experience this is a government-funded traumatic experience that happened but um so they they pushed me my girlfriend up against the the railing uh they pulled out a half gallon of milk and showed it to me brandishing this milk saying uh so uh you think it's funny to uh talk in our dialect huh
Well, uh, we're gonna think it's funny when we watch you chug this milk.
Why would they make you chug milk?
Because as a white person, I cannot process lactose properly.
You can.
Because as a white person, I can process lactose really good.
Right.
And so they wanted to see me do it.
No, they just wanted to laugh at me doing it because they think it's hilarious.
It's like an ironic punishment.
It's like when the devil makes Homer eat all those donuts.
Right.
That's exactly like that.
Wow.
How'd you get out of that one?
Well, they told me, we'll let you go without an ass beating.
If you give me your Jordan 1s you have on.
And I said, uh, yeah, of course, here, here.
I, you know, did not want to get my ass beat whatsoever, so handed them over my 1s, my black OG 1s, retros, you know?
So you're not a, yeah, well they probably took them because they were, it was their color.
Yeah, it was their black.
You're not allowed to wear that.
I probably shouldn't even say black on the air.
You should have to say b-word.
B-word.
And then they took my girlfriend too, and then I went and watched the movie by myself and got out of an ass-beating though.
Tight.
Hell yeah, dude.
Fuck yeah.
Tony, how was your experience at the movies?
I've tried to go see it twice.
Had a rough time both times.
Both were interrupted by these fucking awful people.
I don't know who they were.
This one guy apparently, his phone was not on silent, and every single time he got a text, a different Eminem song.
A different Eminem song.
I don't know, he sounds kind of cool to me.
And he was fucking throwing Reese's Pieces all over the theater.
They weren't even peanut butter cups, they were Reese's Pieces?
And this other guy came in talking about like, You know, talking about how he's lactose intolerant and fucking hates everything.
And he was like, trying to flex in his fucking Jordans.
And what was real offensive is that he was actually wearing a cross-colored jersey and a Malcolm X hat.
And when he saw, it was my cousin, he saw my cousin.
He didn't know it was my cousin.
He didn't know my cousin didn't know either who he was and he was like, Brothers!
And would not shut the fuck up during the movie.
And so apparently these two guys got ass whoopings and I don't know what the deal was.
Well, I mean, you know, it sounds like there are two sides to every story.
Those guys both sound really cool.
That ladder one sounds cool.
This is a real thing, folks.
People got really hurt at these... White people, excuse me.
Only white people got hurt.
White people got really hurt at these... I wish that was the truth, but one of them had a fucking dookie chain on, and every time you'd punch the dookie chain, it cut your knuckles.
So other people got hurt too.
Who did the Dookie chain on?
The guy with the cross-colored jersey.
Okay, so what happened on Twitter is people pretended that they got beat up for being white at the Black Panther premiere, but they made the honest mistake of posting, like, actual real-life abuse victims photos that, like, people knew.
No, we know exactly who that is.
Like, uh, the woman who was just in the news for being assaulted by a Trump aide?
Yep.
Like, that woman?
Or, uh, another woman who had a bottle broken over her head a couple years ago and had, like, blood streaming down her face?
Yeah, for defending herself from assault?
Like, somebody typed in, White Woman Assault Victim and used the first two.
And, like, I love that.
That's some real deplorable behavior.
I, like, just famous photos of white people getting hurt and using it as like, like, what if they, I would have loved if they had used, uh, what, what, what's his name?
Um, the, uh, Chris Steed, like that photo of Ambassador Chris Stevens' body.
Like, using that, and being like, oh, I was at Black Panther, and people told me I was too white to be there, and look what they did to me!
And then as a person on the right, you see that photo of Ambassador Chris Stevens from Benghazi, and you're like...
You're, like, torn between, like, I want to believe that black people committed this crime.
Like, in my heart, I believe that this random thing I read on Twitter was committed by a black person.
But on the other side, it's like, well, I kind of know this.
I kind of know this is Chris Stevens.
Like, how do you resolve it?
Yeah, right.
And you run the risk of forgetting about Benghazi.
Like, he's way out there.
Wait, that's the guy from my memorial tea.
That guy looks just like the guy from my memorial team.
Maybe Hillary was right.
Maybe it was a video and that video was Black Panther.
But they would be like, I have to believe this guy because he looks just like our fallen comrade.
So I have to believe him.
He must be a good person.
Yeah, so a lot of derangement around this movie.
I don't, you know, we did see it, we did like it.
Yeah, it was great.
Yeah, awesome.
You know, I don't think we need to go too into it because... No spoilers.
Yeah, we're not going to give spoilers on this show, you know, maybe a little thing A little, but if you haven't seen it by the time this airs.
Right, you're not a good ally.
You don't deserve to see it.
You don't think black lives matter.
You probably don't even deserve to listen to this episode, so turn it off.
Turn off this episode if you haven't seen it yet.
Yeah, you blue lives matter guy.
See you next week.
Yeah, no, it was a very interesting Marvel movie, very woke, you know?
I did not expect it to actually criticize the CIA and the way that the CIA destabilizes foreign countries and that sort of thing.
It leaned into the whole, like, colonialism, anti-colonialism message.
Very interesting, very interesting villain as well.
Yeah, it was, yeah, that, that, yeah, don't, I won't, I don't want to expand on the villain, but very good villain.
Michael B. Jordan's awesome.
Fuck, I don't like Marvel movies typically.
I liked Logan, but I saw this and thought it was great.
Far exceeded my expectations.
Great flick.
Yeah, so let's get into our first.
Are we good?
Do you have anything you want to say about the movie, Tony?
Real quick, what's funny about this is we all saw a lot of, just like everything, these fucking deplorables tried to adopt the movie for a brief second.
They were saying like, guys, Wakanda's like America.
Wakanda's this amazing thing where they don't want outsiders in and it shouldn't be that way.
And the funny thing is, no spoilers, but this reminds me of something that happened previously in my life.
It's like, you didn't finish the movie.
Right.
One time, an ex-girlfriend of mine, I was, not to out myself too much, but my middle name is Malcolm after Malcolm X. Sick.
And I was telling my ex-girlfriend's grandfather this, and he goes, oh the bad guy?
Oh my god.
And I said, you didn't finish the movie!
And I was right, he didn't finish the movie.
Yeah, he didn't finish it, dude.
Yeah.
He didn't see Malcolm X in all white robes.
Right, you gotta stay for the stinger scene.
Yeah, exactly.
So yeah, you gotta finish the movie because they were way off base there.
That's all I'm going to say about spoilers.
Right, Wakanda is like an isolationist country and very strict immigration policy and white nationalists were trying to adopt that and if you watch the movie it really addresses that idea.
Yeah, let's just say that.
It really challenges that idea.
Among tons of other really progressive, interesting ideas.
Yep.
Okay, let's get into this first post.
This was a post in the Deplorables group, of course, where else?
It's a post by a man named Brada Randy Vibhal Damran who says, Boycott this racist freak and then post an article The the thumbnail is Chadwick Boseman with his mask off mask off Wearing you know the Black Panther bodysuit and then the headline of this thumbnail the link is
Black Panther actor Chadwick Boseman says European accents are racist.
Yeah.
And then there's like a little subheading that says, what?
That's the body.
That's like the description of the article.
What?
So nothing more needs to be said about that.
That's the whole article.
That is it.
Truly.
And the website is BoundingIntoComics.com.
And so, again, the caption by the deplorable user, by the deplorable group member was, Boycott this racist freak.
Of course referring to Chadwick Boseman.
And real quick, did either of you guys read this article?
I posted that screenshot.
Yeah, I scrolled it a bit.
Yeah, I did too.
Yeah, I've definitely read that context quote.
So this is a very clickbaity, this is like even more than clickbaity, this is like libelous.
Yeah, totally.
The actual article from this site, Bounding Into Comics, cites An interview that Chadwick Boseman did with, I'm forgetting, it was another outlet, it was like a magazine or another website, where he talks about the development of the character and how Wakanda is an isolationist country.
They're considered a a country in the movie.
Yeah, they're a country, yeah.
It's an isolationist country that was never actually subject to colonial English rule, you know, like a good portion of Africa was.
And therefore, they had to figure out how to develop the character's speech pattern, whether or not it would be modeled after the colonialist English accent.
Right.
And he was just saying, well, you know, logically speaking, because Wakanda was never colonized, it wouldn't have the same accent as countries that were.
This is a totally benign statement.
It's just a totally, like, factual, common sense statement.
Yeah, it's like a way to go about You know, fleshing out the movie.
Right, it's just the logical thought process you would have to undergo to develop a character.
Yeah, yeah.
To make something original.
And that was literally turned into, Chadwick Boseman says European accents are racist.
Yeah.
Well, they are though.
The best part, yeah, the best part about it is, the comments...
He basically illustrated exactly that.
Yeah, in fact, European accents are racist.
So if he had said that, I wouldn't be mad at him.
See, I know that he said that this shit is racist because it's verified in the comments.
Right.
If you just read the article, you know, this is an analogy, like you see the headline and you're like, do I believe this headline?
Well, you read the article.
Well, in this analogy, you see the headline and then you read the comments and yeah, okay.
Yeah, they did their work.
So anyway, boycott this racist freak.
We're going to experience this a lot in this episode.
This is like, it's not a theory I've been developing.
It's more of just an observation.
Yeah.
So, I think I've said it on the show before, I got it somewhere else, I didn't make up this analogy, but racist is the n-word for white people.
Oh yeah.
You know what I mean?
A racist is the worst thing you can call a white person.
Oh yeah.
Because we've all been conditioned, whether we believe it in our hearts or not, we've all been conditioned to know that racists are bad, evil people, right?
Luckily.
Well that's all we've been, we just know racism is bad.
We don't like know how it's actually applied in the real world.
Or how to deal with it or anything.
Yeah, so we just know that it's bad.
And so if you get called a racist, like that's the worst thing as a white person that you can get called.
Exactly.
But once again, this is like, we're gonna see, as we saw with, like anytime Obama comes up on this podcast, Obama is a racist.
Oh yeah!
That you can't call Obama the N-word anymore.
Nope.
So you call him the worst word that you can call him, which is racist.
Yeah.
Projection.
It's like, it's racist is like, it's like thug.
It's the new N-word.
Oh yeah.
It's totally the new, like when Oprah, when, when there was like speculation as to whether Oprah was going to run for, they were like, oh, another racist in office.
And it's like, think of just, I don't know.
Think of something else.
Yeah.
Think of something different.
So we'll see a lot of, like I don't have to even explain myself further, we'll see a lot of that in this episode.
But I love the addition in this caption.
Boycott this racist freak.
Where does the freak come from?
Boycott this eight-legged freak.
He thinks that's how he looks.
Explain what you're saying.
He thinks this photo of him in the Black Panther suit is who he is.
This is how he dresses all the time.
He has no idea who Chadwick Boseman is.
He has no idea what Black Panther is.
He has no idea what the word actor means.
He just sees a dude in a black catsuit.
He's like, this dude is a fucking freak.
And he's sure he read something somewhere about someone being raped by someone from Wakanda.
You know he read it.
No, man.
Wakanda.
I know they're bad folks.
They're bad hombres.
Oh, they're bad, though.
They're bad, though.
Yeah, Trump was like, yeah, I spoke to the senator of Wakanda, or the prime minister of Wakanda today, and they're gonna stop raping all the people.
Well, that's good.
Yeah.
He did petition a Wakanda ban.
So, no more Wakanda.
You cannot immigrate here from Wakanda anymore.
Putting a wall up there.
Joshua Hart says, He's speaking English.
Dot dot dot.
My language.
The white man's slanguage.
Now that's racist and cultural appropriation.
I'll lay it to him when he starts speaking his own click language.
And there is...
Our proof that yes, in fact, his language, the white man's language, is in fact a racist language.
Yeah.
I mean, it put these words together.
Kind of.
Normally I don't like to, you know, harp on spelling errors or grammatical mistakes, you know, just because everybody makes mistakes and it's, you know, nothing confined to the right wing or the left wing.
Yeah, you could say it could be a bit elitist.
Yeah.
But it's just, it's just interesting here that, uh, this man takes such pride in the white man's language.
Man's language.
Man's language.
Yeah.
Uh, and he'll liaten to him when he starts speaking his click language.
You almost sound like you're speaking like the, the man, uh, the, what is it?
The arm.
The arm in Twin Peaks.
Well, no, what happens is if you read this comment in reverse, it's actually totally grammatically correct.
Yeah, it's perfect.
Perfectly punctuated.
It's eloquent.
It's interesting.
Manslanguage, I love that.
It reminds me of manwich, just a cool English word.
Which is, no, that's, yeah, okay, that's another thing that the Jamaicans appropriated from the white man.
Slang.
Was the manwich.
Manwich, yep.
The man, which man?
Oh man, cut that out.
Was that okay that I said... No, it was chill, dude.
It was very chill.
It was very 311.
It's actually, that's a side effect of marijuana.
Yeah.
Is uh... You turn black?
You start appropriating... No, no, no, no, chill.
You turn Jamaican, okay?
You turn 311, dude.
You turned 311, dude.
Yeah.
Kathy, uh, do you have something more to say?
Kathy Nocera says, and I say when you say axe instead of ask is racist too.
Hold up.
Got him.
Kathy, Kathy got him.
Got him.
Nailed it.
Yeah, it makes sense.
Well, you think this thing is racist?
Well, I think this, this random thing is racist.
Got him.
Yeah, it's like the same argument, but on the opposite side.
Well, oh yeah?
You think that colonialism is racist?
Oh yeah?
Well, I think when you sag your pants, it's racist.
Absolutely.
When you rap and make music, it's racist.
Jazz is racist music.
It's black power music.
Listen, I wouldn't be having these cornrows if you didn't run away.
You wouldn't have cornrows if it wasn't for the cornrows that your ancestors tilled in the slave days.
Does that make sense?
There was no comparison there, but I see the line you're going there.
We lost the format, but the intention's still there.
I'm 2-3-11 right now.
Andrew White, so remember this headline.
Uh, Black Panther actor Chadwick Boseman says European accents are racist.
Andrew White says, LOLO!
Oh, man.
Get it?
Get it?
Also, was he being cheeky and saying, hi, I'm a racist?
Yeah.
Wow.
He was saying hello.
This is a hard, this is all real rough wrapping my head around it.
It's like the, it's like the most, it's the cutest way you've ever said you're a white supremacist.
Yep.
Yep.
LOLO.
Yeah.
He's like a old, he's like a, he's a first wave skinhead, you know?
Oh, you're giving him way too much credit.
He is a third wave fedora.
We must secure a future for our children, righto?
Oh man.
Maureen Shammy O'Sullivan says... Shamey, dude.
It's like Seamus, bro.
Oh, it's a nickname?
Shamey.
Like, oh, like Shamey.
She's real Irish.
But Seamus is spelled differently.
Yeah.
Whatever her name, however you pronounce it, the important parts are Maureen and O'Sullivan.
Yeah.
Doesn't write anything.
She lets MLK do the talking for her.
With this historical quote that He said.
This is a meme of MLK and one of his, uh... One of his lasting... Some of his lasting words.
His last words, in fact.
It says, "Sit your dumb ass down, you embarrassed black folks." Now, in case you're wondering, uh, Maureen O'Sullivan...
Not black.
Nope.
Not even close.
However, she is Irish.
And I feel like, uh, also being the descendants of slaves, Maureen O'Sullivan can chime in here.
She can invoke Martin Luther King because, you know, the Irish, uh, I read in several posts that the Irish were slaves.
Yeah, I read that in lots of comments, so I know it's true.
Dude, my fucking... I told you you're not allowed to listen to this, so if you hear this, this is your fault.
You're doing this to yourself.
I'm wagging my finger at you.
Who?
My fucking cracker-ass mom.
Oh boy.
Hit me with that the other day!
I like that you warned your mom not to listen.
I told her.
I said, you better not.
Because she supports me in everything I do and she loves me and I love her so much.
She's really fantastic.
But my fucking cracker-ass mom, I love you.
Um, hit me with that like, well, you know that the Irish were slaves and I don't even remember where it came from.
I just remember thinking...
Came from the internet, came from Facebook.
And I was like, okay, it was a little bit different, mom.
But we'll get there, it's fine.
I don't even want to talk about it.
She's like, nope.
And I was like, don't do this.
And she's like, okay, I won't do this.
She totally let it go.
Yeah, in case you're ever having this argument with anybody, all you have to say is chattel slavery.
That's all you have to say.
Chattel slavery is different than indentured servitude.
Exactly.
Indentured servitude.
Irish could buy their way out of slavery.
Their kids were not automatically slaves.
They were treated better than black people because they were not considered subhuman.
At least to the degree that black people were.
They were never considered property.
They were never considered three-fifths of a human being.
But, however, those Irish indentured servants, they weren't allowed to have their own slaves.
So, when you think about it, they also suffered.
Yeah, they weren't free.
Exactly.
They didn't get slaves.
Remember that?
Because if you had a slave to do your slave work...
That's good.
We have a canon and a culture.
Yeah, we do.
It's cool.
We're cultivating our culture.
It's happening fast.
Do not appropriate it, listener.
If you do, do it so we can tweet about it and garner attention.
Yeah, so Maureen O'Sullivan just has a message for black people.
You're embarrassing yourselves.
You're embarrassing other black folks.
It's so rough.
It's so fucked up.
It's super fucked.
There's a lot of wild people in the world.
It's also that great trickery with imagery where I'm seeing this picture of my mans and I'm like whatever's going down there I fucking love it because it's a good picture of them.
Oh, man.
Don't like it, Tony!
Tony, yes, do not like that comment.
I got real close.
Ah, fuck.
He did it.
And I liked it.
He liked it.
And I also bought all the Supreme stuff that has MLK on it.
Dude, you're about to get a DM from me later.
Shit!
Trying to cop all that Supreme or what?
Do better, Tony.
Have you seen the Supreme line?
No, I haven't.
Is it new?
Is it a Supreme slash Dodge line?
It has black icons on it.
There's a jacket that has Obama on it.
There's a shirt that has MLK on it.
Is there one with Omarosa on it?
Not yet, that's coming out soon though.
Supreme's not black owned are they?
No.
I'll only cop a Supreme Lenny Kravitz.
That's it.
That has to exist.
I can't really get behind Supreme too much, but that's another podcast.
No yeah, Supreme is coming out with a Lenny Kravitz collab.
They are.
It's an entire bedspread that you wrap around your neck.
And there's that and leather pants.
Alright, another post from the Deplorables group.
This is a post by a woman named Charlie Bowman, not Chadwick Boseman.
Do not get that confused.
Sorry, Alex.
Could you tell that I did that?
Did you read this post?
In our minion death cult group text.
- Did you tell that I did that?
Like when we were talking about, like did you read this post?
And I was like, in our group, in our minion death cult group text. - Oh, by CB? - No, you were like, did you read the Charlie Bowman post Or something, and I was like, oh, this one?
You were like, why does T'Challa have a picture of a white woman in his profile pic?
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, it's very confusing.
Now, this is Charlie Bowman.
She's the good one.
Chadwick Boseman is the bad one.
And Charlie Bowman would not like to be confused for Chadwick Boseman.
No thanks.
Charlie says...
Have you seen the new movie called Black Panther?
If white people did something like that, it would be racist.
If white people did a movie, it would be racist.
You're actually right.
If white people made a movie called Black Panther, And they proceeded to just do it with only white people, it would probably be pretty racist.
No, there would be some Black Panthers in the movie, for sure, but they would be the... antagonist?
If white people did it, it'd be, um, what's that fucking... Every other movie in existence?
No, what's that, what's that... Would it be those movies?
What's that movie from, like, the 70s, 80s of, like, Africa?
It's like, oh, The Gods Must Be Crazy?
White people love it.
It would be The Gods Must Be Crazy, but with, like, more explosions.
So, should we address, like, why this movie is making so many people crazy?
So many white people crazy?
Absolutely.
Like, should we try to figure it out?
What's your theory on this, Tony?
It's for the same reason why people think that basketball's not the same as it was before.
Yeah.
It's the same people that are, you know, they wouldn't have been mad about that.
They would have been like, I wish they would stick to the fundamentals and stop dunking.
It's because now... That's why Laura Ingram said, shut up and dribble, not shut up and dunk.
Exactly.
What's his name?
I don't watch a lot of basketball.
LeBron James.
Yeah.
I think LeBron James would be passing LeBron James in this case, but yes.
Isn't that fucked up that I remembered Laurie Ingram's name before LeBron James' name?
I am fucking sorry.
I'm happy we caught that.
I apologize for that.
It's about the world you operate in.
Good for you, we're growing.
We're growing.
I'm learning.
Every day.
You know who LeBron is.
White people hate seeing black people do awesome things.
That's really what it comes down to.
I mean, it's absolutely true, but like...
It just seems to me like some 1960s shit.
Like the first black movie ever happened and white people lost their minds.
There have been black movies since then.
It's been fine.
It's fear of getting pop culture taken away from the hands of white people.
I don't think people freaked out at the Nutty Professor.
No, but that was funny.
It was Eddie Murphy being funny.
Actually, we did have a movie, all-white movie, it was called White Chicks.
Oh, yeah.
Remember that?
Yeah, I remember that one.
Remember that, Charlie?
Yeah.
Racist.
I couldn't get through that one.
Or what about Dear White People?
A movie exclusively for white people?
Check that one out for real.
Go watch that.
You're gonna fucking love it.
Oh, yeah.
No, I think my theory on this... I mean, these people are racist.
That's the theory.
Yeah, that's what I was gonna say.
Racist.
Sorry.
No, you're good.
I stole your line.
Damn it, dude!
That's your classic line.
Damn.
Classic.
Classic slur.
Yeah, please don't use the R word on this podcast.
No, I'm going to use it all day.
No, it's cool because we are racists so we can use it.
Exactly.
My theory on this is not just that these people are racist because of course they are.
My theory is that It's, like, too soon after Obama to have a movie called Black Panther.
Like, they thought they won.
Like, they thought they elected Trump.
And, like, black people weren't allowed to make movies anymore.
And, like, black people just had to disappear now.
And, like, you know, less than a year later, or about a year later, Black Panther comes out and it's like, what the fuck?
I thought we, I thought we fixed this.
I thought we fixed this problem.
I guess it's not fixed until they're back in bondage, man.
Back in Wakanda.
Back in Wakanda.
Send them back to Wakanda.
That's the best part.
They're going to freak out if they ever do a Wakanda movie because there's another storyline through that universe as Wakanda, and that is literally about these black Lesbian warriors Grace Jones looking chicks right that there's a couple there's a bunch of characters But they're the two of the main ones are the yeah, but what I think is that yes, it would be crazy if White people did some sort of superhero movie.
Yeah, it was based on like Racist German ideology about, like, an Ubermensch, you know?
Or, like, uh... What else?
You could call him, like, a Superman.
The translation's Superman, yeah.
Like, the superior race.
Like, if white people did something like that... Yikes.
Yikes.
Dude, can you imagine the backlash?
Imagine the hashtags on fucking Twitter for that one.
God.
They'd put white people in concentration camps.
They would.
If they released that movie.
You guys are acting like Batman vs. Superman got off easy.
That movie, that brilliant piece of cinematography got dragged.
Dude, 70 years of comeuppance delivered straight onto Batman and Superman's door.
Yeah.
Pretty sweet.
Finally.
Yeah.
Okay, so let's get into comments from this.
Sean Douglas.
Let's go right for the meat one, huh?
Sean Douglas says, it's a fucking comic book character.
Had nothing to do with the hate group.
Okay, so.
Started off good.
Yeah, didn't end so good.
But, you know, we tried.
Sean Douglas is a cop.
That's pretty much all you need to know about Sean Douglas.
He's a cop with, like, some common sense about the comic book.
Maybe he's a Nixon-era, you know, politician, or worked in the Nixon administration.
How so?
What do you mean?
Well, you know, that's the Nixons.
Oh, the hate group thing?
Yeah, they labeled them a hate group.
Right, yeah.
The Nixons.
No, this was a young man, believe it or not.
This is a young white man who happened to be a cop.
And then, yeah, just like people were responding like, you're stupid, you're a dummy.
Charlie Bowman says, yes, but is still racist.
If white people made a show with a name, If white people made a show with a name that others thought was racist, how- yeah, okay, good one.
I'm just waiting for it, dude.
How about KKK Family?
Such a weird family.
That probably did not scan to the listener at all because it's not capitalized, but there's no quotes around it.
But what she's saying is, how about KKK family?
How about that for a TV show?
Yeah, how about that?
How about KKK family?
Such a weird family.
Like the Brady Bunch or what?
Truly would be though.
It's like the Brady Bunch, and they all just have cone heads.
But they're like house KKK uniforms, so they're like dunce caps.
And all running around the house.
Well, you know the truth about the Brady Bunch, right?
The reason why they met each other was through a support group where their partners left them for black people.
Oh, they were cucks?
They were both cucks?
They were cucked by beautiful humans.
Uh, but Marsha... Right.
Not even just hanging out with them, being around them.
Oh.
They were lovers.
They were...
Right.
Yeah, they were...
It's a nigger lover support group.
It's really...
Oh.
And that's where the Bradys met, and that's where they got their family.
Like, hey, your family looks beautiful and blonde and blue-eyed.
Let's do this.
Let's do it.
Yeah.
It'd be like, you know, it'd be good.
But, uh, you know.
The KKK family.
Jan's all up in there just like screaming racist, racist, racist.
Racist, racist, racist.
Yeah.
She's actually proud of her sister in that moment.
Yeah.
It's not a knock at all.
They're stoked.
Even if it was entertaining, this hypothetical KKK family TV show.
Such a weird family.
Such a weird family.
They're so kooky.
That's what the K stands for.
The KKK family.
Even if it was entertaining, some would hate the name because it might represent something that others may not appreciate the connotation the name represents.
Yes, Charlie, yes.
That's true.
Some people might think that KKK family refers to something racist.
Yeah.
These people literally think the Black Panther is the Black KKK.
That's a common theme.
People think this all the time.
Yeah, I wanted to address this.
It's so crazy.
Well, they think the same thing about Black Lives Matter.
Yeah.
It was really crazy for, you know, they really were colorblind.
They would see how, like, Their hypothetical ethos they think they have is in line with the Black Panther ethos.
Exactly.
These people were feeding single mothers, you know?
The Black Panthers ruled.
They were protecting their community.
Yeah, they were awesome.
Huey Newton resting power to that fella.
Seriously, like I had mixed, I wouldn't even say mixed feelings, I had like a lack of feelings about the Black Panthers.
You were misinformed, man.
I know, because I always heard so much terrible shit on the periphery.
From our parents?
No, not from my parents.
Okay, not your parents.
Your parents are good.
Sorry, buddy.
That's right.
Just on the periphery, you hear this stuff, and it's like, you know, I always believed in black struggle and black rights, but I thought, oh, you know, they were militant, and they shot people, and this, that, and the other, and it's like, if you actually read about them, no.
The mistake that I think that they'd made is just being in public with weapons, like it sucks that they did that mistake, because then Nixon was able to say, hey, these people are militant, violent militant hate group.
Yeah, because you shouldn't be in public.
With weapons, you know, maybe like in a commercial for your apparel line, you know, shooting weapons real hard.
Like, no, and that's like, I mean, I'm lucky because I come from, you know, I am black.
I come from a family that was very active.
So I knew people who were part of this community and who grew up as pandas.
To me, I did grow up thinking they were superheroes.
That's awesome.
No, I didn't mean... Oh, no, I know.
I'm just saying, you're not wrong, but I'm just drawing a comparison.
It's really funny.
Yeah, you're right.
People were saying, you know, they should have just kept the guns inside.
But no, you had to keep the guns outside so that You know, you had to protect yourself.
They're bringing armies in, you know?
But like I said, today we have people who are making money off of a militant standpoint where they're actually standing for nothing but racism.
Yeah.
They're defending themselves from nobody.
Yep.
And they're literally shooting their semi-automatic rifles, you know, into targets of, you know, some bearded man with, you know, some sort of wrap on.
And like, A rap on like a kafaya or a rap on like, hey, hey, brothers, let's go get our rap on.
You get both in the same pack.
Yeah, yeah, yo, yo, yo.
It's the rap pack.
Yo, yo, yo.
But yeah, so it's just crazy.
Speaking of, like, Adam Calhoun, I thought it was great how in Black Panther they made all the douchebag, like, white characters have beards.
Yeah, and tattoos.
That's great.
Yeah.
I loved that.
I was like, oh, look, there's a douchebag.
There's a douchebag.
They look like they fucking, like, I don't know.
This isn't, I mean, beards are cool.
Like, beards are... I mean, Tony has a beard.
Beards are cool, but, you know... It's the certain look that one of the villains had, and a few of them had.
No, when they're in that, like, gambling scene, every single dude that walks in strapped has a beard.
And it's spot on.
Alex Jones fans, and like, what's the shit that Alex Jones sells on his show?
Male vitality supplements.
That's how you get a lush beard.
Yeah.
Okay, next comment.
This is still in that thread about it being just a fucking comic book character.
Gloria Jocelyn Johnson says, so somebody was like, hey, get Jesus in your heart, maybe you saw being so racist.
Gloria Jocelyn Johnson says, Jesus in your heart has nothing to do with how screwed up society looks at color.
Okay, so far, okay.
To most of us, we see a comic book and nothing else.
Okay, cool.
So no problem with the comic book for most of us, but others want to create a racist environment.
I find the biggest racists are the black people!
There we go.
Ding ding ding.
I love how like, how just competent these things start off.
How just, you know, even keeled they start.
They seem that way.
And then they fucking take a hard left turn into an iceberg.
Man.
I think, where is it?
I find the biggest racists are the black people themselves.
And they are the ones calling white person as being the racists.
Yeah.
Why would they do that?
Yeah.
Why would they do that to you, Gloria?
I noticed that when I get called a racist, it's usually by a black person.
See, they're calling black people racists.
Gotta throw that R word around.
I will never forget on how New Year's Eve, Steve Harvey was hosting and made a comment when three black kids sang beautifully.
He said, those black kids sang better than any white kids he has ever heard.
Now, what if it happened the other way around?
That host would have been fired.
This is double standard, makes me sick, and is totally unfair.
And I just want to say, protect Steve Harvey.
Yeah.
Keep Steve Harvey safe.
Steve Harvey did nothing wrong.
Protect him.
I can't cosign this.
I fucking hate Steve Harvey.
I fucking hate Steve Hardy.
You hate his cornball ass or what?
What about when he has to like read like, like, doo-doo on Family Feud?
On the Family Feud tiles.
Have you ever seen him when anything remotely gay happens around him?
Oh yeah.
No, he's terrible.
It's insane.
He looks like... He freaks out.
But he literally said this.
He really said this shit.
He was probably drunk as fuck.
Yeah, probably.
It's hilarious.
But you know what happens when it's a white kid?
That kid goes on to become Justin Bieber or Post Malone.
Yeah.
Or the President of the United States.
That's what happens.
That is what happens.
So in this thread, I didn't write it down.
Did you guys actually read this thread?
Did you get a chance to read this thread, Tony?
I scrolled through a lot of it, yeah.
So what was going on?
Sean Douglas is the original commenter on this thread.
Sean Douglas, the white cop.
Yeah.
There was another guy in this comment section, I don't have his name written down, who was like, uh, yeah, it's a comic book character, like, get over it, and people were like, you're ignorant, you're racist, and he's like, no, like, I have a degree, and like, I own buildings and shit, and this, not that that makes you a good person, you know, but... That makes him not racist.
Uh, but, well, this is a black dude, but... Right.
He, uh...
He was like, I actually have experienced racism.
It does exist.
It's not this fake thing you people think it is.
He was like, I successfully sued a police officer.
Fuck.
That's the dream.
That is awesome.
And then Sean Douglas, our cop, was like, Well, he better have beaten you, because if you sue a cop for no reason, then you're a fucking scum.
And so, uh, the dude replied, uh, yeah, I was beaten.
I was beaten by this cop, and it was all caught on audio recording.
And he got in trouble, hopefully.
And so, of course, Sean Douglas replied with, oh my god, I'm so sorry, like, I take back my statement, uh, you were totally unright, that sucks that that happened to you, let's reform the justice system to make sure we prevent this from happening again.
Um, did he really?
Psych!
Are you sure?
Adult psych!
Hashtag opposite day.
No, Sean Douglas, literally Sean Douglas responded, why didn't you listen?
Yep.
Fuck.
He didn't even ask what happened.
He just said, why didn't you listen?
You should have listened.
You racist, you should listen.
As a cop, I know that this is what we do when black people don't listen.
We beat the shit out of you, buddy.
Haven't you seen the news?
God, can you imagine being black and deaf around Sean Douglas?
You'd be only imagining things for a little bit, and then you'd imagine no more.
You should have bought the cochlear implant.
Oh man.
Um, yeah, Sean Douglas, piece of shit.
And then they were, they just like, like he, they were like, no, it doesn't exist.
You didn't get, no, they weren't even denying that he got beaten up.
They were just like, oh, you deserved it.
You'd like, and then the dude was like, the cop literally said I was in the wrong neighborhood.
Cause I was in like the nicer area.
And, and that's why it happened.
And, and Gloria responded, uh, Well, you should know better than to go to some areas where you're gonna look suspicious.
And he was like, this is where my house was.
Yeah.
This is where I fucking live.
Jesus Christ.
He's a successful guy.
Like, these people are crazy.
Okay, so Gloria comments again to Charlie Bowman, our blue star girl up top.
You can thank Obamas for this.
Oh, thank Obamas for this.
You know what?
You're not wrong.
You're not wrong there.
Yeah.
They were the genesis of a lot of things.
They brought it back, especially Michelle.
Oh wow, we get an actual Michelle in here.
That's rare.
Every time she spoke, it was brought up.
Racism is created by the black people themselves.
As Tiz said, quote, the one who does the accusing are usually the one who is guilty!
The classic, classic quote.
He who smelt it must have dealt it.
Remember the good old days during, you know, both Bushes and Clinton when racism was gone for a while?
Those were so sweet.
Remember the only black guy around was Clinton because he was cheating on his wife, nothing black men do.
Playing saxophone.
Remember the good old days?
Puffin' on a reefer.
Goddamn Obama's had to bring it back.
I mean, I just saw a picture of him with that chain gang and assumed he was just one of the dudes, you know?
Yeah.
He wore sunglasses like a cool black guy.
Like a cool raisin.
Like a cool jazz-playing raisin.
Or Motown-playing raisin, excuse me.
Well, no, but don't you remember when black people enslaved themselves?
Remember that?
I've been trying to forget about it.
I've been trying to move on from that.
Yeah, can we just move on please?
Thank you.
Uh, no.
I love this.
As it is said, the one who does the accusing are usually the one who is guilty.
Yeah.
This is our American justice system.
When you accuse someone of doing something, chances are you're the one who did it.
This is the way the legal system works.
When you're five.
You go to report a fire and the cop is like, uh-huh buddy.
You didn't.
I think thou doth protest about the fire a little too much.
I think you're coming with me.
You seem a little too upset about this.
You smell a little bit like fire.
Did you light that sucker?
Are you sure you lost everything?
He's like, yeah, I was fucking fighting it with a hose.
So how'd you hear about this fire?
Do you have a man on the inside?
And he's like, yeah, it was my grandfather who passed in the fire.
He's like, uh, do you smoke cigarettes?
Yeah, he started this fire.
Harry D. Brown Jr.
says, well, we have the Pink Panther.
Which is a genuinely good joke.
Which is funny.
I don't know.
Pink Panther is like a cool cat.
He's a cool cat.
He's probably black though.
He's probably got a black spirit.
I was going to say he probably plays saxophone.
He does.
I think I've seen something with the Pink Panther playing sax.
Bill Nagy.
Bill Nighy, British actor.
Yeah, him.
Pirates of the Caribbean.
Says, anything we do is racist.
I gotta say, it's looking like that from here, Bill.
Again, Bill, yes.
Most likely, anything you do is probably racist.
Roger Vona, last comment on this thread.
Let's hope it's a good one.
Roger Vona says, try applying for a grant to help your town and see what the requirements are.
Then, post what you find.
Have any of us ever tried to apply for a grant to help our town?
I should though.
You need to be more selfless and take your grant money you get from school and just give it to your town.
This is like some people have a car wash to save the town.
Other people apply for a federal grant to save the town.
Citizens.
Random citizens that are required to fill out paperwork.
You fill out the paperwork and you check the box saying like, Yes, we have had a ski competition.
Yes, the town still needs help.
I actually have had to do that.
I was part of the people writing the... I was with the people that wrote the proposals for grants for the skate parks for Redlands.
Oh.
And this shit is a pain in the ass.
Oh, well, if he's talking about helping towns by, like, skate parks, then, like, fuck yeah, dude.
Like, we should try that.
Unfortunately, because he's probably one of the people that didn't think that's what was helping a town, and he's probably one of the people that made this difficult for us.
Yeah.
So, yes, what did he have to say?
Is that what he's saying?
I think so, unfortunately.
you are granted to help your town and see what the requirements are then post what you find if that doesn't open your open your eyes nothing will so i think he's saying that like if you're in a white town like you're not going to get any help is that what he's saying i think so unfortunately yeah if you're a white person trying to trying to you know man never mind no If you like write on the- if you write on the application, this is a white town, like they don't give you any money.
They won't even respond to you.
It's crazy.
It's because the grant you're asking for is, we need a second set of water fountains for the town.
Maybe newer, cleaner ones.
Slightly shorter.
Oh, taller.
Newer, cleaner ones.
Yeah, taller ones.
Better ones.
And we also need to place an order for signs for the old ones that say four colors only.
Yeah, we need to update that to for POC only.
No, for racists only.
For racists, yeah.
Well, we gotta keep up with the theme here.
That's gonna be some shit, right?
That's gonna be some... People are gonna be, like, simultaneously Vulcan-raised in time.
They're gonna start using people of color, like, in the most ignorant fashion.
That's the next one, yeah.
It was... It was, what, thug, then it was racist, and now it's gonna be people... Of color.
Now, yeah.
I don't know, Sweeney.
There were a lot of people of color at the mall today.
Yeah.
Okay, we still got more to this comment.
Sure do.
Remember, if you like MSNBC, ABC, NBC, CNN.
Seemed to be missing one there.
You are already being taught how to think.
Maybe if you grew up in the late 50s, early 60s, you'll see the bigger picture.
Makes sense.
Holy shit.
Maybe if you experienced real America, you'd feel the same way I do.
When there was stuff to have.
When we took it all.
And please stop with the quote, I have a college education or degree because all that tells us is you may excel in your chosen field but they don't teach common sense in college and it shows.
If you are a professor, well, that's another story.
Alright.
Okay.
That's a story for a different day.
This guy literally misses when schools are safe because there are only kids that look like your kids there.
Okay, let's move on to the final segment of this show, just, oh boy.
Oh, man.
Oh, love this segment.
Here we go.
Black History Month!
Black History Month.
This is a post from a young man named Derek Great-a-Nego?
Great-a-Nego, who is a black man from Italy, a young black man from Italy.
Yep, a young black cuck from Italy.
Who says, Black Panther The first black superhero?
Huh?
The black community has had a real living superhero for the last 30 years.
They have just been too blind to see him.
On September 7th, 1987, Dr. Benjamin Carson, better known as, uh, ol' Benny Carson.
Ol' doctor.
Ol' Ben, Benny, Benjamin Carson, performed the first successful twin separation in the history of this universe.
Is this a tie back to like the superhero, like the Marvel Universe?
This universe, this canon of comics.
Yeah, his comic.
Can't wait for that crossover between the MCU and the ACU?
The ACLU!
Uh, yeah.
On this, the first successful twin separation in the history of the universe.
That, my friends, is a superhero.
Say, hi, Dash, Derek, great in ego.
What the fuck?
He accredited this quote to himself.
Credited is what I meant to say there.
And then in parentheses, if this weren't, like, self-aggrandizing enough, quoting himself, he goes on to say, in a parenthetical, all caps, in all caps parenthetical, doesn't that kind of defeat the purpose?
Like, isn't parentheses, like, supposed to be whisper?
Like, hey, shh, don't tell anybody.
Yeah, don't say, by the way.
But he's just a really loud whisperer!
By the way!
Facebook is blocking me from sharing this post in groups, so feel free to share at will.
Hashtag Ben Carson is a hero.
And then, uh, so at the time... At the time that I copied this down, uh, this morning, it had 75,000 shares.
Yeah, it kills me.
Like, it worked.
Oh, totally, dude.
It worked.
It's blocking me.
You tell people that you're not allowed to post this thing that they're reading right in front of them?
Facebook won't let me post this!
They'll fucking share that shit.
That's all you have to do is tell, hey, this thing that you're reading?
Facebook won't allow it.
Hey, you're not allowed to say shit.
They think you're not allowed to say this.
Now you say shit.
You better say it.
So, like I said, it had 75,000 shares this morning.
It's already got like 85,000 tonight because I went back to get more comments.
Yeah, buddy.
I was just making sure I was recording.
I'm going to start a fake account and have a post that says, Facebook said you guys can't deposit a dollar each into my PayPal account.
Facebook is blocking our Patreon.
Try to donate $3.11, see if it works.
Hashtag share $3.11 into our Patreon account.
Yeah, hashtag that what you just said.
They don't want you to do that.
Okay, so this is accompanied by an image.
It says the same exact quote, but it's cut with pictures of Ben Carson, one of which is him wearing like a real cute operating room outfit.
Cute bonnet.
Cute operating bonnet.
He's wearing like a cute operating ski suit.
This is him on the set of ER, dude.
Right.
So Ben Carson knows a thing or two about acting.
Why didn't they get him to be the Black Panther?
Exactly.
Because he's too busy saving real lives.
And then between these two images, it says Derek Great Inigo again, in little font, in the little frame that separates the two images, the two images inside this larger image.
It says, it's attributed to him fucking five, let's see.
Okay, we got his, the actual account link.
Yeah.
You know, under his name where this appears.
Yeah, his name, yeah.
There's one.
Then there's another one.
Hyphen, Derek.
Greatonego.
Yeah.
And then, that's two.
And then in the middle of these two images, Derek Greatonego.
And then at the very bottom, which is just the text, repeated again, it says Derek.
So four times in this one post.
His own name.
And this becomes a theme with Derek, I'll get into it in a second, but... I love this train of thought.
This is my fucking favorite thing ever, because it's like... Ben Carson.
The real Black Panther.
Of course, he just oozes it.
You know, I'm gonna go ahead and let my, uh... What's the word where you only like Americans?
My, uh... Jingoistic?
Yeah, let me go ahead and let that flag fly for a little bit.
You know what?
You mind your Italian business!
Yeah, dude, no shit.
Sorry, Grandma.
I love you, my Italian Grandma.
And me.
I'm your Italian grandma too, bro.
You're my Italian grandpappy.
No, but I love this, like, I love this argument that people make.
You'll see this, you know, obviously if you listen to That Awful Sound, you'll know all about real music.
You know, the way people talk about real music or real rap.
Exactly.
But, I love, I just didn't, like, you know who the real superhero is?
A doctor.
Yeah.
You know who the real basketball players are?
Are service men and women.
Yeah, exactly.
I was gonna say Larry Bird.
No.
Like, what's with this analogy?
Like you're talking- It's so stupid.
You're talking about a fictional superhero that we all know is fictional and saying that he doesn't exist.
You're like, okay?
Even if like the reach is like You know, why are we glorifying this fake person when this real person exists?
Like, they have that.
They have the March comic book series.
You don't even have to leave the comic book store!
That exists.
I like that, because I'm real lazy.
That's a good series.
It's the John Lewis story.
So, go read that.
But no, this guy is still like... Oh no, John Lewis is a Democrat, therefore he's a slave master.
He's one of the modern day slave masters.
He is a member of the KKK.
Actually.
It's a lineage.
You know who the first real black superhero was?
Jesus Christ?
First real super, you know who the first real black superhero was?
Jesus Christ?
Phoenix Jones.
Facts.
Who's Phoenix Jones?
A man from Oakland who literally fought crime in a leotard.
Oh, tired.
The first real black superhero.
Literally.
Literally.
What era is this?
This is pretty recent.
Oh, tired.
Look it up.
Phoenix Jones.
Will do.
Put on a mask.
He was like a martial artist and he like he was a dork He was a huge martial artist dork anime nerd.
I think a Raiders fan.
So I think you'll dig him It was Oakland, right?
Yeah.
Yeah, Oaktown baby where this movie is based actually also like Does this guy know that Ben Carson had a fucking movie already made about him like 10 years ago?
Dude, was it a Hallmark movie?
Yeah, but it had Cuba Gooding Jr.
in it!
Cuba Gooding Jr.
played Ben Carson!
This is before we knew, man.
This when he was just a doctor.
He's been a public figure for a long time.
Because he actually did separate twins, right?
That's not his lie.
I mean, that's his claim.
Like, he did... Okay, so first of all, this meme, this post, in both incarnations are inaccurate.
Yeah, I figured that was a lie.
He did not do the first twin separation.
He did the first one where they were joined by the brain.
You can see that chart down there.
He separated the twins who were joined at the skull, joined at the brain.
It's pretty awesome that he separated, I'm sure.
And then one of them died and the other one, like, lost a lot of function.
But I mean, you know, what's gonna happen?
He did it.
You gotta try it.
You gotta saw it in half.
But he was, like, an accomplished brain surgeon.
Like, yeah.
And as we all know, you gotta crack a few eggs and make an omelette.
Which is neat how he does it with his eyes closed.
I just think it's cool that he's a brain surgeon that does it with his eyes closed.
You know, I wonder, it's like, you see him, he's so sleepy.
He's so sleepy, he's so not there, and it makes me wonder, is he saving these people that he's operating on?
Is he saving them by putting his own pieces of his brain into their brain?
They need a little more brain like he's like fuck it.
I got it.
I got to save this body I can't lose another one know what he's doing so and so he Takes a little piece out of his brain And he gives it to the you know to the person on the table, and that's why he's so sleepy all the time Yeah, that makes sense.
They just eat it.
He doesn't put it so it in yeah eat it Maybe, maybe Ben Carson is so tired because he really is a superhero and like he's out all night.
He never gets to sleep.
He never gets to sleep.
Exactly.
And like, like Alfred's like, uh, you know.
Master Carson, what's, what's the use of all them push-ups if you can't lift yourself up by your own bootstraps?
Actually, no, the Cupid getting junior was the second movie they made about him.
The first movie they made about him was called Blank Man.
This post went so viral, like I said, 80,000 shares, thousands of likes, there's comments every minute, and my favorite commenter is just the people that are posting GIFs of Blade.
That's definitely my favorite comment but it doesn't translate well into a podcast so I didn't write any of them down.
I just summarized what they were doing but didn't read the gif verbatim.
We all get the implications of that.
Thank you.
Let's get into these comments here.
Just make sure, yeah, okay.
Troy Allen Angstrom says, I think they meant superhero, as in something like Superman, Batman, Iron Man?
Yeah, so he's like trying to reason with this post.
Well, I think when they said the first black superhero, they meant like a superhero, like Batman or Iron Man.
Like our heroes.
Right.
Well, no, I think he's like...
I think he's against this post.
Yeah, no, he totally is.
He's trying to explain the idea of a superhero to this poster.
Yeah, he's trying to rationalize with this Facebook celebrity.
This memer.
This guy's never gonna see this.
You see, Ben Carson can't fly, so he's just a regular hero.
Right.
They're only speaking of superheroes.
Precisely.
Okay, I gotta show you guys this.
I meant to do this before we got into comments.
So this is, uh... This is Derek's profile.
He's got 1,500 followers.
This is dude's cover photo.
Wow.
What?
Ben Carson.
It's like a yearbook layout.
This is before I'm un-magnified, okay guys?
This is what we see just on the face of it.
How bad the layout is, first of all.
Yeah, it's like our Brady Bunch.
Oh my god!
Yep, dude.
Yep.
So it's like a yearbook album, you know, a page of a yearbook, but we're only seeing four left to right in this, you know, shrunk view.
It's Ben Carson, Omarosa, and then the dude on the far right is Sean Jackson.
I don't know his prominence.
Probably his buddy.
The guy in between Omarosa and Sean Jackson, you guys know who that is?
Yeah, I do, actually.
It's Derek Gradenigo.
This is before he met his current barber, apparently.
On the level with Omarosa, just putting himself on that level.
Okay, so we expanded this and it's a 3x4 panel of just all these black heroes who aren't afraid to support Donald Trump.
And, you know, we have Stacey Dash, Right here, we have Allen West, former Florida Congressman, who is, well, he's famous for being a Florida Congressman, but he's also famous for torturing an Iraqi detainee for information he didn't have.
Fuck, dude!
You know, just these black heroes that we can look up to.
Yeah, what a good dude.
We have, you know, Sheriff David Clark.
Who's that?
You remember Chair David Clark?
I don't know about him.
He was almost Director of Homeland Security.
Real close.
No, yeah, he's a psychopath.
He suggested, you know, suspending habeas corpus, you know, so that we can get these Muslims out of here.
You know, just reasonable black heroes like Omarosa!
She's my hero.
Okay, Chris Kotoko says, you guys are contradicting... Yeah, okay, so he doesn't say it the right way, but I get what he's saying.
You guys are contradicting comic with reality.
It simply doesn't work.
So he's saying you guys are comparing comic books with reality.
It doesn't work, which is a valid point.
Yes.
Barbara Purgatorio, white woman, says, Can't find your way off that democratic plantation, huh, Chris?
Wow.
Black Panther is a comic book character who plays a hero.
Ben Carson is the genuine hero.
Jesus.
Just the words they choose are crazy.
I almost broke the cardinal rule of not getting mad, you know?
Yeah.
Yeah, I almost, like, what are you doing?
Like, I know you, like, I know you like Ben Carson because he's one of the good ones.
Right.
And, like, you don't consider yourself racist, so maybe if I just tell you how fucking insane it is for you to be telling a black man, like, like, mmm.
If only they would have got off the plantation.
Yeah, you know what?
You know what happened when you got out of the plantation?
You motherfuckers would hunt us down with dogs.
Actual dogs.
That's what happened when you got out of the plantation.
You know, I don't know why you guys are upset, like, we live in a post-racist time.
Like, you can say things like plantation, you can just throw those words around.
Also, I mean, we put Democrats in office now, so, what are we doing to ourselves?
Yeah, so just take it easy.
Yeah, it's almost like you guys deserve to be there.
Crystal Ann Don Morrow says... So that's a couple, right?
A couple Facebook accounts?
No, it's Crystal American Nightmare Don Morrow.
Oh, fuck.
New American Nightmare album, by the way.
Haven't listened to it yet.
It's fire, bro.
Crystal says, Hancock was pretty cool superhero.
Yeah, referring to the Will Smith character, Hancock, who is like... A drunk.
A cool, drunk superhero.
Yeah, you know how I like my black superheroes?
Homeless.
Homeless, drunk, wearing rags.
Flying around.
The movie sucks.
But they let him fuck Charlize Theron, though.
That's weird.
That movie was like one of the first black... No.
No, dude.
Steel.
What about Steel?
With Shaq, right?
Or did Shaq?
Yeah.
Was that him playing?
What are you asking?
Well, that's the real first black superhero.
I don't know what came out first, whether it was Blank Man, Steel or Meteor Man.
Meteor Man.
What about Dark Man?
Dark Man, ironically, not played by a black person.
Yeah, but it had to be done.
But it was played by an Irish person, which we know were the real slaves, Liam Neeson.
Which it had to have been done by an Irishman had to play a black man first before another black superhero could exist.
My favorite Irish rebuttal is, but black Irish.
No, no, you've heard of the Black Irish, right?
You've heard of them, right?
Yeah.
I've never looked into it, but that's gotta be what I'm thinking of.
They're hyper slaves.
They're double slaves.
They're exponential slaves.
Are you talking about Kevin Garnett?
No, the entire team.
I watched barely enough basketball to get that joke.
Any black team member of the Celtics?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Way to explain that one.
Yeah, dude.
Sherry Carlton says, referring to Ben Carson, he had his limelight.
Let Black Panther have it for now.
Which I love.
It's fine.
I'm fine with that.
Can you imagine if, if, uh, if fucking T'Challa's dad was Ben Carson?
And sure, he made some mistakes, you know, but none of our heroes are perfect.
Perfect, yeah.
Whoever, if you're good at it, someone's gotta do this.
Any listeners, just like, please, like, get a hold of that scene and just, like, put Ben Carson sleeping in the scene.
Like, those scenes.
Well, he's got that lazy eye in the scene.
He's already sleeping.
He looks like he's got stroke face.
Yeah, alright.
Yeah, we can't make fun of him.
No.
Okay.
Quick spoiler, I do think that they fixed Forrest Whitaker's eye.
And then gave it to the dad?
Just so the dad's eye would not seem normal.
But what's funny too is like, a lot of, one of the common themes here is that, so black media and black superheroes are so unsung that they do not realize that this is not a new character.
This character has been around for a very long time.
This character predates the actual Black Panthers.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Created by... This is like not even, go ahead.
It's created by two white people also, like...
Two pretty woke ass white wolves.
I thought it was just Stanley.
Two folks.
Stanley created it and then him and Jack Kirby developed it.
I've never heard that second name.
Jack Kirby.
He doesn't sound that important to me.
Oh yeah, he's not Stanley.
True.
He's not Stanley, dude.
Quick, quick, awesome, awesome flex that they did was there was a point in time where they were like, hey man, you need to get more white people in this comic.
And so he had the Black Panther, like, fight the KKK.
Fuck yeah.
And that's how they met the white people quota.
So if they really knew the lineage of the Black Panther, they'd be so much more pissed.
And that's why we don't have white affirmative action, because it just promotes the KKK.
Exactly.
Hercules...
Savakas says... Okay.
Who cares what some black guy did?
So he chopped two kids in half.
Big deal!
Doctors of all colors accomplish amazing things all the time.
What does his skin color got to do with anything?
Uh, which is... Uh, let me see.
But I bet I could cut, like, twice as many kids in half.
Yeah.
I bet he... So what he chopped two kids in half with an axe.
Like, what the fuck?
Now you got four kids.
What's his chop count?
Give me that count.
So this dude, like, loves abortion, right?
Because, I mean, that's what abortion is, just chopping up little babies.
Exactly.
Well, did he axe before he axed the babies in half?
No, because he's not a racist.
Willie Banks, two more comments.
Willie Banks says, history lied to you again my brother.
Excuse me.
History lied to you again my brother.
Brother.
Brother.
You can say brother.
Brother.
No I can't.
No you gotta really punch that brother.
This is a black commenter.
Give it a hard R.
History lied to you again, my b-word.
Dr. Carson is a good man, but he didn't perform any surgery.
That's what we were told.
Facts.
WB out.
Okay, dude.
So this is like... This is like a conspiracy theorist black dude named Willy Banks who like...
Says that Dr. Carson is a good man, but he actually didn't perform any of these surgeries.
No, he didn't, dude.
That's what you were told.
That's what you were told in your history books in elementary school.
You were told the lie that Ben Carson chopped kids in half.
Never happened.
Never happened.
That's my favorite history book.
Facts.
WB out.
This dude had another comment, and facts WB out was his signature.
That's his Blue Star Boy signature.
How do you do that in Facebook?
Do you have to go into like the HTML?
No, uh, Matt's got a theory about this.
He had his widgets, right?
Yeah, dude, it's widgets, bro.
It's gotta be widgets.
It's all widgets, bro.
What were you gonna say, though?
You were gonna say something else?
Um, yeah, it's just his little copypasta.
I love it.
You know, it's his... History lied to you again.
Like, what's the... It's his buck.
It's his buck, 100% disabled.
What's the purpose of this lie?
Like, it's not like the lie that, like, oh, you aren't immortal.
Like, oh, you need food to live.
Like, those lies would actually benefit the Illuminati, because then you have to buy food, or you have to buy, like, healthcare products and stuff like that.
But what is the lie that Ben Carson was a surgeon?
What does that lie get the Illuminati?
I don't know.
Actually, you know, see, that is the truth.
Because see, what happened was, is that the white man told us that Ben Carson was a surgeon to give him credibility so they can place him- he actually has a pigment disorder.
Okay.
The hair is fake.
The hair is fake.
It's a pigment disorder.
He was placed there by the Illuminati to attract the black vote.
And we're not going to fall for that because he never did any surgeries because he's not an actual doctor.
You guys are like, your community is notorious surgery hounds.
You guys love surgery.
And I know that as being 0.7 Nigerian.
I will tell you this.
Black folk love conspiracy theories.
They do.
Good ones, good ones, rich ones.
I love them.
They do.
Except for... ours are real.
You didn't have to... You guys didn't have to make up your fictional conspiracy theories.
Uh-huh.
Okay, last comment.
Ken Whipple.
Woo!
Love that last name.
Gotta give it to him.
We gotta do the Whipple dip.
You gotta do a Whipple dip on him.
Ken had to do the Whipple dip.
I love me a tasty Whipple dip.
Most of us don't ever even notice color.
There it is!
When we go to an NFL or NBA game, after this comment about color, alright, let's keep going, let's follow this sentence.
Let's see where it goes.
When we go to an NFL or NBA game, we don't do the race count like everybody else did.
We don't participate in the Jumbotron race count.
Yeah, where they number and label every black person.
You have to stand up and kiss a black person.
Wait, you guys don't do a race count?
Uh, we do, but Ken doesn't.
Yeah, no, I do, because I was in a room the other day of about 500 people, and I was one of three black people, so... And I knew that!
How do you know that?
Did you count all the white people?
Uh, they took a while, but yes.
No, I was easy to count the black people because they're so tall.
That's stupid.
They were all bouncing basketballs.
Sorry.
Whatever, we gotta think like him, man!
If we do it ironic enough, we just turn into the alt-right, right?
That's what happens.
Yeah, that's an accident, yeah.
Hey.
Illusions to future delusions of grandeur.
We don't do the race count.
We just enjoy the game and cheer for our team.
It's time to stop the race game.
So, they don't... The only colors they see are, like, teal green for the Dolphins.
Yeah.
Or, like, black and orange for the Bangles.
Yep.
They don't care who's getting that CTE.
No!
It could be a white man, it could be a black man losing brain functionality.
Who cares?
Yeah, well this guy's definitely against NASCAR because he wants to stop the race game.
I don't know.
That's good.
I mean, like, you know, he goes to NFL, NBA only.
Right.
No NASCAR.
No NASCAR.
Stop the race game.
Because it is a race game.
It is.
Yeah.
Just like Hungry Hungry Hippos.
That's also a race.
They're in an eating race.
Yes.
Like when the Rodney King story came out, it should have been reported as Rodney King and quote, American citizen was beaten by police, not black man and white cops.
That's true.
When they reported on that story, it should have been, uh, cops of indiscriminate ethnic background walk free after brutally beating another man of indeterminate ethnic background.
That's what it should have been, right?
Well, that's how it's going to be in Trump's America.
I would love it if that's the way it worked.
That'd be great, yeah.
Because then everybody would write.
Everybody would riot.
Oh yeah, totally.
That's how it works.
All the indiscriminate races would riot.
You guys heard about the movie coming out about him, right?
Mariah King?
What's his name?
A few comments back, I was writing it.
It's called, I Should Have Listened.
Oh, that's our blue star boy for the episode, for sure.
Let's crown him.
Sean Douglas.
That's what I was gonna say earlier.
Sean Douglas, blue star boy.
You gotta be it, dude.
Congratulations.
Even though I didn't even quote your worst quotes.
I mean, I kind of did.
He definitely said you should have listened.
And then Charlie Bowman, you're a runner-up.
Yeah, you're our blue star boy also.
You're our blue star boy too.
You're our blue star man.
Also gender-neutral term for woman, Charlie Bowman.
Alright, that's the episode.
This was a super fun one.
Disclaimer man, I love people of all orientations.
If I say stupid stuff, it's all sarcastic and ironic on the Satire Show.
Absolutely.
We're only ironically terrible people.
Yeah, that's it man.
Did you want to make any disclaimers, Tony?
You should be sorry.
Some of my best friends are white.
I need you guys to know that.
It doesn't give you a pass.
Everything I say is in jest.
You should be sorry for beating us up, though.
That was another way to go with the bit.
You were the one beating us up.
Oh yeah, we were thinking about that.
That would have been funny.
Let me finish the episode.
I'm sorry, bros.
Okay, yeah, thank you so much for listening.

Yeah.
Oh yeah, I mean, you knew something was wrong with that fucking guy.
Yeah, when he appropriated the rainbow from gay people, like, it's like, wait, why are you doing that?
