Comment on Gen Z’s Tony Hawk is Tony Hawk

That has always struck me as a bad hot take.
One of my closeted racist family members love to ask “Who is Africa’s Leonardo da Vinci ?” to make some sort of claim to both his genius and the implied lack of genius to Africans.
And the answer is Leonardo da Vinci is Africa’s Leonardo da Vinci … and the only people trying to say otherwise is people trying to profit off of making up a difference.
So I guess that I get it but also it is … I just think that it is a bad take.

Fuck me, all I said was there’s no culturally significant skateboarders any more and you’re bringing a whole racism thing into it

No one called you racist, bud, but clutch those pearls.

The guy compares my post to White supremacist rhetoric and I’m the one clutching pearls? lol

Yup, still are, ignoring the point of the comment in favor of the fomenting over the “ludicrous” context of their anecdote. “It’s just a joke” is also a poor, worn out excuse to discredit criticism.

Nobody was calling you a racist but if it’s that upsetting that someone pointed out that your tactics are similar that’s on you.

“your tactics” is still like, several notches above a sane take on what OP actually posted. This is not a remotely problematic post.

You’re right, tactics is accusatory when it shouldn’t be. There’s no evidence of motive or intent. Let’s call it “your logic” instead.
