I think the SJWs have officially jumped the shark....

quote:

A letter sent out by residential advisors at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, claims that jokes about Harambe, the gorilla that died in an incident at the Cinnicinati Zoo in May, are a “direct attack” on the school’s African-American community, as well as a potential violation of Title IX regulations.

That seems pretty racist of the RAs to equate blacks with a gorilla

This won't make Harambe memes more popular on campus at all...

I'm actually glad this is happening. The word "racism" won't mean shite in a decade. The backlash from this type of nonsense is going to be glorious.

So people making fun of a gorilla is racist


But:



The people saying it is racist because they themselves equate gorillas to black people isnt racist




Interesting world we live in guys

One of their floors honoring black history is called Harambe, this isn't as dumb as it seems off the headline.

It's not tying black people to gorillas like I first thought

Dumb, but not as dumb as it seems.

It's the concept of "soft racism". Liberals feel that you have to patronize minorities and engage in stereotypes to protect minorities from patronization and stereotyping.

Is this some crazy coincidence or did they name the floor after a gorilla? Or WTF is a harambe anyway (other than the gorilla).

For me the harambe thing was funny at first, then became unfunny, and now is back to being funny again.

There is a Harambe market at Animal Kingdom in Disney World. Who knew that ape would be so inspirational?

Harambe died so that Apple would have the courage to kill the headphone jack.
