People are so brainwashed for thinking this is heartwarming and not incredibly fucked.

This is literally what "black excellence" is, but calling it out makes you (internally) racist, a pick me for the nazis, or a black person who is white on the inside.

This post is inspirational and any problem you have with it is racially motivated.

What are you on about?

Interesting point, but I think meme culture is also programming people to stop thinking the moment their outrage is triggered. There's a group consensus that acknowledging any other factors besides the evil in a situation is a defense of that evil.

The crowd clearly agrees with you on that, but many people are able to continue thinking even after they feel outrage.
