      im not sure what the official rule is but a mod on hexbear warned me that yakub jokes aren’t allowed on here

      not sure if there’s some legitimate reason behind it or if this particular mod was just a dumb ass cracker who wanted to play the “dont be ‘racist’ against whites” card. im sure there’s probably some legitimate reason tho and its not that.

        dumb ass cracker who wanted to play the “dont be ‘racist’ against whites” card.

        I’m pretty sure it’s not that but more the fact that most Yakub memes are actually made by racists to mock black liberation movements.

        Mod reasoning is its origin in meme culture is 4chan and it was used in parody of black ppl

        Now like half the memes & emoji on this site are from 4chan (exaggerating a bit) and Yakubposting is making fun of the NoI which I feel is okay but that’s the logic.

        Edit: honestly I can understand the vibe being like when white people laugh at “hoteps” like, fuck off crackers you don’t even know what you’re talking about. Yakubposting is funny when it’s not exclusively white ppl self flagellating through memes
