          Alright. I’m Black and I have to say this scene does make me laugh, albeit I don’t know how to feel about it.

            I’m white, and I think what makes it funny, like most of the movie, is the absurdism of it. It only works by having an old white lady being the one who understands black slang

              That old white lady was the actress who played June Cleaver of “Leave It To Beaver” - a 50s(?) b&w white-bread conservative-family-values-americana TV show

              That was the biggest part of the gag.

              I know why it’s funny. The joke is extremely obvious, but it’s like laughing at Cartman being racist in South Park. The show is hilarious and I feel “bad” at laughing at some jokes. That’s all.

        Attempting to explain what Trump means is sanewashing and makes him look less incoherent.

        Just let his words speak for themselves.

            Honestly I feel like trying to find the root of his bullshit and how specifically it’s so radically off-base is actually kind of an important part of the project Otherwise the follower crowd will just claim that he’s not being given a fair shake, when he was obviously talking about (insert a brief and misleading explanation of the circle thing that actually does try to make it make sense).

            That’s what the whole narrative is built on, after al I’ll.

        I thought he meant the circles of Hell and just lost count. Either way, he thought they were beautiful, and he’s sad that they couldn’t fill them up!

        Thank god you explained it. I have read it three times and I still don’t have a fucking clue what he was after with that part.
