Michael, if you haven't yet gone to the page that Wayman linked, I recommend going there. I only just went there, and it's pretty awful. I can't speak to what was in his mind when he posted some of the amazingly offensive tweets seen on that page, but it's hard for me to view most of them as satirizing racism. They're not funny, although, to be honest, I don't even get some of them. But I get most of the ideas (if we can call them that) behind most of them. If they were intended as satire of racism, then he would seem to be satirizing racism among gay men, not something I think he would have done, at least not in this way. Perhaps he thought that being outrageously offensive would bring him attention.
In any case, I haven't yet gone to the Advocate page. I guess I'll do that later.
I am posting here the link that Wayman posted. |
