Hi This community seems empty as of yet, but let me begin.

I made this comment. It sounds pretty assholy as is, I agree. That's on me, I phrased it badly. It should at least have an /s or a hyperlink to the reference. I realize that now, but I can't fix it since they banned me for it.

I would love to explain myself, because it is actually a reference to this comment made by the trainer of FC Barcelona in 2018. I thought it was a well known racist rhetoric, but apparently I was wrong. I thought it was fitting for a meme ([insert minority] and normal people), in a sense that the best way to depower them is to make fun of them.

I think I'm just stupid, but not an asshole, am I?

You're kind of dumb. It doesn't really work as a depowering joke if it's completely indistinguishable from a bigoted comment

Thing is, I thought it was a reference to Biden talking about black kids and normal kids. Its just racist, and a fairly common mistake.

You did not have the intent, but you still came off as one.
