Yes, but why in shitpost?
This is anything but a shitpost
All racism is real racism, this is a shit post because it’s gate keeping “real racism” .
If nobody gets it, is it a shitpost or a shit post?
First one then t’other.
Borderline to original 4chan shitpost sentiment. I dont like it.
I will never understand how people can treat others as if they were less human than them.
Agreed, but why did you post it in this community?
Well, mostly agree, people can remove themselves from being treated as equals by their actions and views. I’m not gonna treat a Nazi, Pedo, LGBTQ-hating religious notjob etc. with respect. The default for all beings, not just humans, is to be treated as equals, but it’s up to them if that continues or not. 99% of the time it does, even with differing opinions, but if you live by hate or corruption of others you prove you don’t see everyone as humans so you’ll be answered in kind.
Agreed, but why did you post it in this community?
The account is a random as random gets bot for its posting. Just go have a look at its spamming of the nsfw lemmy.
I fully agree, but I think this is the wrong community. There is a subtle not-so-great meaning to posting this as a shitpost which you might have missed.
Well, yes. But that’s not a meme or a shitpost.
Why is this black and white? In '89?
I didn’t think it was too uncommon. B/W images where often “crisper” and also seemed more artsy. I also remember quite a few B/W TV sets around in the late 80s.
Well, IDK. My family photos from the 80s are in colour (admittedly rather poor colour, but still), and a little looking up seems to suggest it fell out of fashion by that time. Maybe it was an aesthetic choice, yeah.
Apartheid?
The medium is the message
Yeah because frankly I was kind of feeling like this might’ve been one of those “make it black and white to make it look older than it actually is” type scenarios…
B/W film was still cheaper through the 80s and so color photography was very much optional.
I wasn’t thinking that, the tv and the the outfits of the people in the chair sort of date it anyway. I was quoting McLuhan
Black & White film was usually cheaper to buy and to process, it’s also easier to process yourself at home so was still quite common even into the late 90s.
In my family color photos were a rarity until my dad got a digital camera because it was easier for him to process the b&w film in a home darkroom.
Newspaper maybe?
because it was illegal to be mixed race
Aha!
We have a family album with a bunch of photos from my brother’s toddlerhood in ~'83, mostly black and white. Those cameras were still around for a while (not in South Africa, though). Maybe family heirloom, maybe it was just cheaper, or some hobby stuff.
Why do you still use your 15 year old Toaster? Because it still works…
Is that how you make an Elon ?
Also this.
Why gif instead of 2 panels? Reading that was a very frustrating experience.
She’s allowed indoors, what more do you lefties want?
As opposed to non-real racism?
This is what real racism looks like.
I’m going to be honest with you, mate, I can’t really make out what you’re meaning very clearly from the pictures. The scale and coherency is off between each picture, and the school ratings one specifically is sort of scattered enough that I can’t tell much of a trend beyond more orange than green in the middle bottom with some random blue everywhere.
Systemic racism at work - and just one of the many reasons why DEI policies are necessary. The best schools are in the white communities while the worst schools are in the hispanic / low income areas. Just an example of one locality in a country that contains many such examples.
I’ll point out also - a lot of people wonder why the hispanic population voted for trump in such large numbers. Well this is a reason. They are badly educated. All of these policies to defund education over the years have been squarely aimed at them and other minorities.

Throwing up random graphics doesn’t really help educate anyone
Nothing about these graphics are random. In fact that’s kind of the point – I’m sorry it went over your head.
The issue is you just threw up 3 pics and said it’s systemic racism.
Make a little 3 sentence description of what this is supposed to be.
or you could, you know, use your brain and try to make the connection yourself.
Guy, I work in mapping and I’m gonna go ahead and agree with the other reply that none of this means anything if you don’t add context. But you do you boo.
The other thing that’s driving me nuts here is you picked three different zoom levels for all three graphics. At least try to match / overlay them so that its apples to apples.
I could. But I am currently under the weather and can barely function so I will not try to think too much as my head hurst enough already.
Look at those poor people, they only had one chair for two. So sad. Couldn’t even spare a cushion for the third lady.
But the good thing is they had a slave. You gotta give it a positive view or else you might end up in El Salvador with a sore anus.
My reaction was “no fucking way this is 1989”.
It’s amazing how much wasn’t taught to us in US shcools
it was taught to me idk what shcools you went to
its really kinda lowkey genocide
