    Don’t forget it’s literally a very slight rewording of a common racist one, but that’s different. For reasons. “Rather run into a black man or a bear (or wolf, or other dangerous animal)” has been asked by racists for years.

      Punching up and punching down are extremely different and your comparison is deeply disingenuous.

      Black men don’t hold positions of power in society simply by being black. Black men don’t get off with nothing but a slap on the wrist for serial sexual assault because “we don’t want to ruin the promising life he has ahead of him”.

      Knock it off with the false equivalence.
