Levon Kirkland is now a meme...and it's pretty funny

Wow, this thread can be studied by scholars in the future as an example of how distracted Americans were while much more important things were devolving around it at the time. Did someone really go back 7 years to repost a post from someone to try to prove they were a hypocrite and possibly call them a racist using a context that has nothing to do with the OP for this thread. C'mon people. And did I miss something? Did someone literally compare Michelle Obama to an ape? Or, was it interpreted that way because she was compared to a large athletic man? To quote another athletic man, "Dis crazy y'all".
Exactly, if anything it's an insult to Levon.
I didn’t initially feel that the meme was overtly racist, however @amynhop ITT defending it so vehemently has convinced me that the meme must actually be racist.
Did Aunt Jemima maple syrup lynch 6 black men (INCLUDING a state senator) and then run for public office with those events at the center of their stump pitch?
I don’t care about maple syrup. Equivocating between a silly made up junk food mascot being rebranded and not naming buildings after murderers in defense of a guy who said ALL OF THIS VILE SHIT really isn’t helping your case for “I’m not a racist”.
just another racist being disingenuous
I agree and anyone who thinks Mrs. Obama looks like a man is obviously being racist/prejudice bc that's just not the case. Nothing about her shape says man, same for Serena Williams. You don't have to be attracted to them but at least be respectful and not a racist who gives white people a bad name bc they don't know how to keep their racist opinions to themselves. Nobody is perfect and we all make mistakes. But we should always strive to learn and be better than we have been.
If the trumps could learn some tact and how to keep their mouth shut, it would have benefited them greatly. The fact this is coming from them tells the truth of the intent/meaning.
Dying on a hill saying it's not racist, will never change the fact that it is. It's really just trying to convince others that you aren't racist. We all have life experiences that contribute to our level of personal prejudices. But being a good person and seeing the perspective of others should overcome those prejudices. If it doesn't, keep it to yourself, otherwise you just look like a tool to others.
You're probably right, but I think anyone they put up would be bad for republicans. However, Michelle being popular and having zero political experience other than being married to the president being elected president without that experience is a pretty scary scenario on its own, right?
Fact Check: Michelle Obama Finally Releases Photos of Herself Pregnant?
"Did she take these yesterday? Or has she always looked past 50?" one X user commented.
I take it you didn’t read the quotes from the guy you want buildings at Clemson named after then? Here’s the link again:
Benjamin Tillman - Wikiquote
Where do these fall in with “be kind”?
Well if the meme was a picture of a monkey or a POTA character, I would agree with it being racist no doubt. I've seen memes and insinuations that Rosie O'Donnell is/was a man. I dont look at everything through a racial lens so saying Michelle O. is mannish is no more racist to me than saying Rosie O. is mannish. To be fair I think Rosie is way more masculine than Michelle.
We all know we've reached the point in America where any and all criticism of any person of color by a caucasion is going to be considered racist but a person of color can criticize a caucasion and thats fair game. Even on this board, I've seen the slur "cracker" thrown around. If someone threw around a slur toward another race, they would probably be hit with the ban hammer.
Now it's getting to the point where calling an obvious man "sir" or an obvious woman "ma'am" can offend someone and get you in trouble. They are starting to punish kids in school for "misgendering" classmates. Where does it all end with this super sensitivity? When people just stop communicating all together and noone is allowed to have a sense of humor because someone somewhere may get offended?
Holy crap, some of y'all think hubcaps are racist. It's no where near as funny as some Big Mike memes. I found this entertaining because they used our homeboy Levon Kirkland.
I don’t get the joke can you explain why it’s funny?Do y'all think this one is funny?
this is laughable - so consider that perspective. black privilege is so real, can't even do a meme.
That's is obviously without a doubt racist and those people should be ashamed and should have been ran out of town on a rail. These instances are not even comparable to the original post in this thread which compared two actual human beings. It was a dumb comparison none the less...Kirkland was 280 lbs where as Michelle was slender.
No, but the post was seven years old and had nothing to do with the OP. I have never really researched how to look up old posts.
I'll bet any $20 she's announced as the candidate by May/June. They will appoint her the nominee...
Shouldn't make fun of our future president.

The former posters thread got zapped, but this is still up? Page two must’ve been a doozy.
There's a search bar that lets you filter by name. Tillman + amynhop. Took five seconds.
If you’re married and have children will you be posting photos of your wife when she was pregnant or are we safe to assume you’re banging a tranny? Thanks in advance!
What I'm telling you is, don't have a 100 year history of virulent and targeted racism, and then just expect everyone to forget about it and move on, but only on your terms.
I think the MAGA people call this snowflake behavior.
Neither does the woman that this post is about.
so the original poster is 100 years old? and has a history of virulent and targeted racism for his entire 100 years? or are you assuming his race...and then applying a historical stereotype based on your ignorance of his race = cause that would actually be racist.
So is it racist if a black kid paints his or her face white for Halloween?

@Cris_Ard please take this political/whatever BS off of this board and place it where it should be, next door. I don't pay to see this political BS. I know where to find it if I so desire.
