Ironic, they forgot to separate their coloureds from their whites.

This picture is always misattributed, the outfit was deliberately made to be pink. The guy in white is the one out of place here - It's from the GayKK rally

I really hate that contemporary history has become so stupid that I can't tell if gaykk rallies are a thing...

I really wonder if history was always this stupid and historians just dismiss texts describing it as satire.

It's almost like memes are jokes.

Edit: And the more I think about it, I probably got whooshed by yours. 😂

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

In your defense, I made an effort to bury the joke

[–] octopus_ink@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 weeks ago

Thank you for being gracious in your victory. 🙂

Why is the outfit so weirdly thin? I thought they were supposed to be robes not fucking 5 buck dress shirts. If ya are gonna be racist trash at least put some fucking effort into it.

The idea that stuff was better in the good old days is false. The stuff we have now from back then is the stuff that is either special or durable enough to have survived. And whatever it was probably cost a lot. A thousand+ dollars for a dresser (accounting for inflation) - stuff like that.

Dude the fuck are ya talking about?

Did you not understand what I wrote?

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Moreso confused by what relevance it had to my comment. I was making a joke about how cheap their clothes look and you come out talking about how the past wasnt as good as it seems.

[–] LodeMike@lemmy.today 0 points 2 weeks ago

I guess so.

I mean, if the average quality of anything has declined over the past few decades, it's definitely clothing. We buy things more often at a lower price nowadays. That has to work out somehow.

[–] LodeMike@lemmy.today -1 points 1 week ago

Lol no. Clothing is better than it has ever been. For the same price. See my comment again.
