    Once I saw this guy on a bridge about to jump. I said, “Don’t do it!” He said, “Nobody loves me.” I said, “God loves you. Do you believe in God?”

    He said, “Yes.” I said, “Are you a Christian or a Jew?” He said, “A Christian.” I said, “Me, too! Protestant or Catholic?” He said, “Protestant.” I said, “Me, too! What franchise?” He said, “Baptist.” I said, “Me, too! Northern Baptist or Southern Baptist?” He said, “Northern Baptist.” I said, “Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist or Northern Liberal Baptist?”

    He said, “Northern Conservative Baptist.” I said, “Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region, or Northern Conservative Baptist Eastern Region?” He said, “Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region.” I said, “Me, too!”

    Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1879, or Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912?" He said, “Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912.” I said, “Die, heretic!” And I pushed him over.

    It is hilarious how accurate this is. Coming from a predominantly white country, our peoole have their own way to separate us in groups and hate each other.

    I wouldn’t say that POCs wouldn’t do the same. It is just the humanity like this. Any big group if people would find ways to be grouped and to hate other groups. Only small groups will be friendly to each other.

    Check to see if the Asian people are still okay.

    A more cynical answer is to buy as much property on the south side of Chicago as possible before the prices skyrocket.

      Asian people will divide themselves by skin color, features or nationality, too. Not immune to racism. Its partly a survival instinct from the past that is rearing its ugly side.

        Absolutely. I was just laughing at the original post forgetting that half the planet doesn’t exactly fit into the black/white classification.

    Okay, aside from the obvious “what the fuck happened to all the people” racist Thanos snap of it all, my real question is this: who is left behind? Because “white” is a made up category. I have 2% African ancestry, do I stay or do I go now? I have some level I don’t remember if Asian ancestry, less than 5 percent. I also have higher than average neanderthal DNA. Does that part count as white? They’re likely European Neanderthals… Go far enough back, obviously, and all humans are African descended.

    Where do we draw the line? Because honestly, if there’s some weird racist god out there snapping away people based on their DNA, I need to know the rules so I can make proper arrangements!

      Was just about to say “You reckon the magical racist thanos snap would finally recognize north african and middle-eastern and azerbaijani and circassian and… groups as white now or still no?”

      Dude, the grieving process just gets prolonged because of how hard it is to make new friends as an adult. Like, great, now I’m sad AND lonely.

      They had all the other colors (and even fire red with cool patterns !) and the white people STILL organized themselves by eye color 🤦

    Nah, more realistically they’ll just went back to say Italians aren’t really white, then irish people and so on.

    In America, they would not have very long before they started having to forage for food.

    A majorly significant portion of the workforce for agriculture are non-white.

    There may be a few locations that can maintain business as usual, but the world is going to collapse, and it’s not a question of if it’s a question of when, and I’m guessing for most people that will be less than 30 days.

    Of course I won’t be there to see it, I will have been raptured along with the rest of everyone, so best of luck.

      Had my wife look for this exact comment. Was going to have her post this if no one else had.


      He thinks he’s so clever. A Stormlight Archive reference, how original.

        Yeah, but at least I made it subtle and confusing for non-fans, unlike the other dude who has since just posted a picture of the WoK cover…

    This is confusing. The are more than “white” and “black”. If it’s only white people left, does that mean anyone that’s not of pure European descent is also gone? Is there a fraction that’s allowable? 3/5ths?

    We’d be looking at a potential extinction-level event for Homo Sapiens, in any case. It would be hard to come back from that.

      There are about as many people in Europe now as there were in the whole world just before the Industrial Revolution. I know quite a lot of Europeans aren’t “white”, but humanity would be far from extinction.

      Also 3/5 compromise is wild lol
