Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
I don't understand why this would be funny in any way, shape or form. I guess I just don't understand overprivileged, upper-middle class white teens anymore.

It's not white people, it's young people in general. This 17-22yo generation is fucked. I've heard my own (black) brother use the phrase "I hope I don't get Trayvon'd" (as he was shopping for some snacks at night)

You know you're old when you're calling out young people on the shit they do.
The person you're quoting has white friends.

Every generation before us has been saying this. It's just that social media magnifies the idiots.
Wow. Is this really something worth making fun of? I mean, I realize that the Internet is not the place for tact or respect for others' feelings, but this meme is just purposefully disrespectful and offensive. Why does it even need to exist?
Do these people not care at all about Trayvon's parents and how they'll feel if they ever catch wind of this? Something this offensive is sure to get coverage on some news outlets eventually. Ugh.

Using the name and the event as a verb is one thing. Posting a Facebook picture mimicking his death is something else on an entirely different continent on its own.

No, just the white ones.
Yeah, it's not like other generations haven't acted like idiots from time to time. Not to mention these people don't reprisent majority of their age class.
How do you define black white people? Can't really find anything about it.

Maybe I missed it, but did someone here call it racist?
He made an offensive statement I'm sure he thought was funny at the time. Did he upload it on the internet though?

Honestly, this is such a lazy response. Yes, "all" white people are stupid. Right? Imagine the shit storm if these guys were black and I said "Black People" .

Yes, yours was too.
You know, you're right.
Can't wait to jump in the next thread and type "Black people." I'm sure that won't get me insta-banned.

Yeah this is basically sweeping the Nation.
Someone might have thought it, even if no one said it. Being sensitive to racial-oversensitivity is the newest thing.
tcha!
There's a difference between a celebrity, who usually dies as a result of their own self-destructive behavior and an unarmed teenager murdered by someone.
I'm glad someone had the courage to say it. Speak up, son.

Define this.
You don't see any sort of difference between a public figure and a private citizen - lest one that was murdered?

I don't offend easily, so this is kind of funny because of its outlandishness.
Naw, there have been tons of jokes/imitations of dead celebrities that didn't die by drugs. Natalie Wood, Payne Stewart, JFK Jr. all come immediately to mind. I'm sure there's dozens of others if I think about it.
I think there comes a point where a private citizen becomes so famous, so fast they cross over in the minds of some people.

Oh, it's fuckin' dumb, nobody denying that. Bored ass people doing bored ass things.
are these people not implying this is racism?
You should test out that theory.

I'd be so incredibly pissed if I was one of his family members right now. To see people make light of a situation that has no inherent humor whatsoever is incredibly idiotic.

The first is. The second I see more as saying a lot of white people don't understand how this could be offensive.
This guy looks Indian/Arab.
Quite offensive.
