Could be the Dems, trying to shore up black support for Hilary to head off an "Okay Obama was cool but now back to white people" backlash.

Promoting our exposing? It's a fine line on top of a slippery slope on the razor's edge.

wrong meme

No. Obviously not. God that mask is awful
PlantainSuperNova
I know right?. Guy Fawkes was a literally terrorist.
TheyCallMeMrPigeonCuzImJustSoCoo
they can say 1000 TECHNICALLY true statements that statistics wills how are meaningless and have nothing to do with a racial split. Profits.

No. Obama has a big part to play in it, too.
underyourbreath
not solely responsible, but they fan the flames
OskarKokoshka
No, as a matter of fact you are not the only one around here that thinks that
EndlessMouthDiarrea
Every time I see that stupid Guy Fawkes mask I cannot focus on the message because i think of that clip of the fat guy's mom walking in.
FlamedLion
Yes. Only the media...
StopLookingAtMyName
Well it couldn't be anything to do with the lingering effects of legitimate, institutionalised racism.
CigarsAndWhiskey
God. can you imagine if it were? How much work we'd have to do? Thank fuck it's only the media. And nothing else.
JasonAbbadon
Well, that and political parties pandering to racists that crawled out of the woodwork when we elected a black man President.
KlausKinski
most black people voting for Obama did fucking so because they are racist and did not want a white man again President...
LoudAngryJerk
theyre partially responsible, but theyre not wholly responsible. tbs no, you're not even close to the only one who thinks this.
KarakLohr
Also should be held accountable
Sauroctonus
It's two way, though. You can hear what the media is saying and believe it, or you can investigate it.
eclect0
Am I the only one who thinks the anarcho-libertarianism these masked tards promote would be way worse than any problem we have today?
EmileLewis
No, anyone with any real comprehension of economics, history, or sociology would reach the same conclusion
CogitatorX
And the morons who push that garbage would be instantly ground to a pulp by the unrestrained boots of the super rich & giant corporations
FrodoShrugged
I agree completely - possibly to keep people distracted and concerned and feeling the need for a bigger government role?
MikeMcAwesome91
Yes, we're all aware. No, we're not doing anything about it.

We enjoy the racial divide. Gives us something to blame for the natural animosity we show other humans.
Felextheminimal
I dont watch it, thats all the part I can do
MikeMcAwesome91
If only we could get everyone on board.
dangerousDoc
Holy shit that gif is amazing
MikeMcAwesome91
I've pretty much used it for everything since I sto-I mean made it.
TylerLee
This is the most correct answer.
januskincaid
It's also not like there's any specific thing we can do about it. I mean, it's illegal to kill a bunch of people, and that's all I got, so..
Grandis
Yeah. I wonder who controls the media.. Someone with money and power. Someone who could gain from it.... What you're seeing is quite amazing
[deleted]
[deleted]
Grandis
Very true. So you use this to control the emotions of the public. Weather you show cops getting shot or cops shooting.
DeathStarWasAnInsideJob
It's sad but human being just like to see that kind of nasty stuff
QuiGonGuinn
Media lures people in with warnings of danger, & over time people feel if they dont watch theyll miss something and be harmed as a result.
DeathStarWasAnInsideJob
For once I am proud to be downvoted
HighlySexualLobster
The jews? Is that too blatant, like instead of inferring the black population is being mislead by the media saying outright niggas is uppity
Grandis
Actually I'm thinking about the whole population and creating the fear of Muslims. "Islamaphobia" and I don't think trump is Jewish.
HighlySexualLobster
Thats the beauty of the dog whistle, you can pivot on a dime.
Grandis
Lol. Americans. It's not about you!! I'm referring to an issue effecting the world. I haven't begun to try and understand that issie
HighlySexualLobster
Be fair, You could be referring to anything you'd like.
GlitterInTheDarkNearTheTannhauserGate
Not necessarily a malicious actor behind the scene. Sensational headlines grabs more attention & make more money, it's just good business.
owltrowel
Gonna actually say you're overestimating. At least if we're talking about the mainstream media, which often glazes over racial tensions. /1
owltrowel
Now,the social media boom has allowed people to fall in their echo chambers about racial issues and helps bring opinions to new heights/2
SarcasticComment
I would agree. we come across loud pockets of the net on a daily basis. Where as in the past, we often never heard of the anger across town
owltrowel
But if anything I think we've just unveiled the problem more. Media not responsible for de facto segregation ofschools and neighborhoods
BigVigilante
I kind of thought the cops flat out killing black people while judges treat white people with kid gloves has had something to do with it too
Justaguy85
LA riots man/Rodney king. It ain't the first time.
vegetariangardener
controversy is the original clickbait
elppapple
Yes, it's the media's fault. Racism doesn't actually exist, it's just a business model. No need to take responsibility. Just blame "them".
AlwaysandEventuallyHannah
I thought that was common knowledge. Is that not common knowledge?
JAFIOI
Common knowledge.

Showsyerhaggis
For young'uns on the internet, yeah. For the oldies and the "slower" side society, nope.
teuro
Common misconception.
Gasnia
People on the internet know but the general public still thinks it's the people causing it.
vibrantlightsaber
Absolute avoidance of the actual relevant statistics and issues. Only covering white v black shooting, etc... avoids real discussion
OmenIcarus
I dunno, let's see what the media says on the topic
isthatonfireyet
They told me it was the other media that is responsible
thornmallow
It might be Obama's fault, more at 11.
EvilMidnightBomberWhatBombsAtMidnight
Can't say for me, because I don't watch any TV/News and I still hate F1.
TotallyNotADogInTrenchCoat
Been saying this for months, bud.
Bortus
Its easy to forget.
teuro
I'm guessing you're white and don't have to put up with institutionalised racism on a daily basis.
SarcasticComment
yet your statement is racist due to dismissal of OP's message under the assumption that they are white and therefore should not be speaking
teuro
Not against speaking. Calling for acknowledging that just because they don't suffer abuse, it doesn't mean abuse doesn't exist.
WhyDoPeopleLoveToHateSuperman
Am I the only one here that we hates the fact that we chose a Guy Fawks mask for this shit just because of a really great movie?
ItsyaboyGunny
You mean really shit movie? Still get a +1 though
Vivificus
It was chosen by anonymous because it was one of the only costume masks readily available throughout the world apparently after the movie.
WhyDoPeopleLoveToHateSuperman
Shit, Id make my own mask. Out of Black Jack and Hookers.
K4rlss0n
"really great". Average at best.
WhyDoPeopleLoveToHateSuperman
I thought it was fucking fantastic. Sute I was in my preteens and it was far from the graphic novel but still a "really great" movie.
Pengarr
I'm amused that people give Warner Bros. money for a mask they use to get at "the man." Does that count?
GlitterInTheDarkNearTheTannhauserGate
big government vs free market, different "man"
Pengarr
Time/Warner owns DC/Vertigo. They are a media conglomerate in every sense of the word. This meme is protesting "the media."
GlitterInTheDarkNearTheTannhauserGate
yea but 'the man' is usually referring to government isn't it?
Pengarr
"The man" is pretty poorly-defined. That's a hallmark of "the man."
CogitatorX
Remember when the media held slaves? Passed Jim Crowe laws? Had lynchings or segregated water fountains? Good times, good times.
SarcasticComment
ironically. the poor handling of Post-Jim Crowe created more segregation in our housing and school systems than Crowe ever did
CogitatorX
You believe things are more segregated now do you? Damn.
SarcasticComment
little has changed since we removed housing mandates. Economics still reinforces what Jim Crow used to demand.
CogitatorX
So how do we have more segregation today? I'm curious to see your attempt to back that up.
SarcasticComment
I'd argue that laws were never passed to undo Jim Crow, so wealth was the isolating factor along racial lines
SarcasticComment
3/ if it's not worse, it's just as bad. We still have terrible, underfunded, segregated schools with abismal graduation rates to this day.
SarcasticComment
2/ this was then followed by the war on drugs, discriminatory low income housing, and the explosion of incarceration of black males.
SarcasticComment
4/And lastly, Jim Crow was a southern mandate. The problems I'm speaking of are nation wide. (north, south, east, and west)
