With this lie escalating to violent threats against the Haitian community, we perhaps need to put a pause on joking about this insidious hoax. They are trying to start a race war, and memes likely aren’t helping.

    Sarcasm only works if the person actually understands what sarcasm is.

    Most Americans are too stupid to do that when it’s spoken much less read.

      Yeah, people are dancing on TikTok to techno remixes of Trump saying that Haitians eat cats and dogs. People are normalizing it because they think it’s funny.

      No, he’s saying racist shit about immigrants. It’s worth ridicule, but it’s not a joke…
