    I assure you I only found humor in people personifying a person into “Amber Lamps,” I did not recognize I was laughing alongside others who were laughing for racist reasons centered around poking fun of urban phonetics.

    …ok so for this one I was laughing at him thinking he confidently could break his cuffs and people turning it into songs and adjacent memes, I didn’t think at the time about the power dynamics and systemic racism surrounding the incident at the time.

    …ok so for this one, um, so that’s MS paint, a chainsaw, and a banned website… yes, ok you know what? I’ll just uh, I’ll see myself out.
