What can i say. White people have been world leaders in the art of dirty tricks since the first time a white man said to an African. “Come check out my ship, bring your cousins.”

But, because it was so absurd, I definitely remember the punchline. It goes:

Wow, Michael, you’re doing something right when your trolls actually name themselves after you!

Oh, and the part where you hired Robert Mueller and got black people to pull for the FBI? That was genius.

And, Auburn University is in the Final Four. This prank is very thorough. 

The blueprint is out there now. Fuck with Joker all game, get him pissed off, the refs wont give a call and he will get angry or ejected. This is how the Nuggets can be beat. IT all comes down to if the refs can call a foul or not.. that and if the rest of the team can remember how to shoot.

I was hoping someone would add this. The given answer of “this is what they do - do you think it’s worthy?” was an excellent approach. History and context are always valuable too - part of what makes this place great.

Yeah, there were plenty of things other kids said growing up that my parents wouldn’t let me say and they didn’t fret about how to tell me not to do that stuff.

First graders know there are words they can’t use that others can. 

“2. Do you consider the NAACP a worthwhile organization to join for a white person trying to fight racism (or at least trying to minimize the extent to which they might be accidentally making it worse)? I looked into BLM, but there’s nothing close to me (2+ hour drive each way).”

I know she wrote “this will be posted to social media” but all I saw was “I will be informing your manager.”

“1. What’s the singular of “wypipo”? “ Bob was joking.

“paleo-vegan (I only eat animals that don’t eat meat)“

She doesn’t sound like she’s enjoying it.

“What had happened was...” isn’t a term, it’s a phrase. Seems like ‘Monica’ is pretending to be educated as well as pretending to be black.

don’t kink shame   :P

I disagree, first graders haven’t learned a lot of facts yet, that’s what getting an education is about but, if they’re normal, they already instinctively grasp social cues. It's why they're able to press the right buttons to bully someone or make them feel better. I might understand a two or three year old having…

Dear Monica,

If your first grader is clueless enough that he needs you to explain to him why blacks can use the n-word but he can’t, don’t write emails about it, face reality and get a specialist to figure out which type of learning disability he has and if it can be helped.

Michael, I now live for Fridays and your responses in the Clapback Mailbag.  Some of these readers (do they actually read for comprehension?) are very sad to say the least.  Keep keeping us informed.  Thanks for all of the other content as well!  Y’all rock!
