Spanish Town parade organizers once wanted to put a giant condom on the capital building. Their parades are a hoot and are meant to push the envelope a little.

They are not to be taken too seriously. You have to have at least a little sense of humor to enjoy.

You are ridiculed because you couldn't understand how they were allowed to have that float.

Now you are being ridiculed for not understanding why you were being ridiculed.

And just because some dumbass in the media brought up the parade doesn't vindicate you.




Exactly.

Because it is insignificant. If you know anything about the Spanish Town Parade, you'd know it's a no-holds barred satire-fest. It's like Krewe du Vieux in New Orleans, though KdV leans a little more towards raunch than satire.

Please explain what I don't understand.

I understand it's a parade of satire, but there's a BIG difference between satire and blatant racism. I'm sure you baws will argue that I'm wrong until your faces turn green, but it seems to me the only people who found that parade float humorous are racist white baws.

Am I wrong?

Satire doesn't equal classless hurtful racism.

"But, but, but...it's the Spanish Town parade and you just don't understand. The meaning of the parade is to offend. The meaning of the parade is to be racist. Nothing to see here, folks."

Culture...amirite?

So you link a media story. And the media continues to regurgitate it (as always). And now you consider yourself to be a hero.

You really are clueless.

And you have zero context for Spanish Town. Nor does the media nor do they care. It's one of the last bastions of free speech for the sake of free speech. I hope it survives this stupidity.

Obviously.

If it's so racist and hateful why do so many black people attend the parade?

Only SJWs and professional victims are upset over the parade. If it's that bad stay in your safe space and don't go. Simple.

I'm picking up some racist undertones.

I'm shocked a regressive is a racist.

The hypocrisy is ridiculous. People celebrate Charlie Hedbo after they're attacked and then throw something like this under the bus. It's satire. Let it go.
