It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Context. The commenters getting upvoted are defending this racist meme by local social media personality and racist idiot "The Kiffness".

The commenter that got 270 downvotes is the one calling out the racism.

Yes, many people in South Africa are still so racist that they do the fried chicken stereotype thing and insinuate that this is a tactic that black majority political parties use to "buy votes".

The ANC provide free KFC to people that go to their conferences

Is providing a meal to people who come to your conference even unusual? Let alone a scandal lmao. Obvious racist concern trolling is deeply stupid

the idea that black people love fried chicken an inordinate amount is fucking stupid af, because literally fucking everybody loves fucking fried chicken

whenever we do fried chicken at work, which isn't even as good as KFC mind you because the most seasoning the other cooks generally put in the flour (not even a full egg wash---> flour ---> egg ---> bread crumb treatment to make the breading ACTUALLY good) is some lawry's seasoned salt (that I don't even think has MSG? because it doesn't list MSG in the ingredients?) people literally eat 3-5x as much of it as they do anything else.

I've had to do the fried chicken ONCE so far and despite being a relatively slow night (maybe 70% of a "busy" night) we cooked 140Ib of it and they ate every last bit. For comparison, on a general BUSY night they'll eat like maybe 110Ib of protein overall, split between two different entrees. So they might eat like 80Ib of flank steak and 20-30Ib of shrimp or whatever.

Someone coming through the line told me she used to work at a different university in the area and they're more open to the public so people from other schools would show up for their fried chicken and they'd go through like 300-400Ib of it per night with lines out the door and into the street

No it's not unusual, most political parties do that in South Africa.

Shit we do that here in the states too, with banquets and galas.

No you see wining and dining is all fine and good, but fried chicken? That's a line too far!

I once went to a Liberal Party conference because I was curious to see neoliberals in their natural habitat. The speeches and debates were as unremarkable and boring as one would expect but the catering was excellent. They had dusted a Liberal Party logo in cocoa on the tiramisu but it tasted amazing.
