        Yeah, that’s great. What’s the point of the moderator removing a comment if somebody like you is going to come along and repost it?

          What’s the point of having a modlog that allows anyone to publicly see the comment that was removed?

          The purpose was to show that they weren’t making some off-colored joke, as some suggested, but rather making a hateful statement in general. It was removed for violating rule 5. I censored out the slur, so if the mods want to remove my comment, they will. Feel free to ask them to do so.

      Isn’t even an original joke, the meme of trash island in the Atlantic is old as hell, Google “England” for more information.

      I would like to know that. I would also like to know what the joke the same fuck told at the same event about black people carving Jack-o-Lanterns out of watermelons was.

      I hope @[email protected] can enlighten us as to what both jokes are.

      I think the joke was “I hate minorities, this is my unironic view! Race war now, if it aint white it’s not right, white power!” which, is about as funny as a child with terminal illness, which is to say… Not very funny at all, and is in fact quite a serious matter that should be taken as such.
