2) Enter 3 challenged white, heterosexual males with an ignorant statement of being a "minority". And blame Obama for it as well ~~~~Last census in the US still showed 'whites' as the majority (though estimated to change by 2025). Furthermore, the lauding that sexuality or sex separate one's self within their own "racial group" is absurd. I guess this joke is created by the simple fact that white heterosexual males are threatened by female progressiveness, homosexuals, and minorities all at the same time. Funny because it's true. Also, Obama has nothing to do with it at all....just a scapegoat for them to blame self delusional issues on.
White people have been playing the "persecuted minority card" for years and years now. While simultaneously playing the majority card. This is mostly a play on Rush Limbaugh. "Thanks, Obama" has become an internet meme simply because a certain body of almost exclusively white people have blamed Obama for everything from the economy to the weather.
So yeah, you're right. But since you don't get the context, there it is.
4) Friend Zone/Son Zone. ~~~ I honestly don't quite get the context of this joke. I'll throw a guess that "son" is the white Jersey version of saying "homie", where as "friend" is like in the context of a common word similar to that of Candians use - ex. "Hey, friend". Maybe I'm misunderstanding the joke because I'm not tied to the MTV sewage subculture? I hope that's the reason.
That slice represents his mom. Someone suggested the use of the chart may also play off a Penny Arcade strip. I don't know. But the pie chart basically represents reasons women won't sleep with him.
5) "Zimmerman Mode" ~~~ You really went there? Okay, this one has me baffled. I mean, the whole situation was a painful one, but it was a bunch of people yelling "racist" over a crazy man who thought a kid in a dark hoodie, going around the neighborhood late at night, was breaking into houses on his street. Paranoia kicked in and he stalked the hooded figure with a gun...got his ass kicked (don't deny it either, the police reported as such besides the images of him with bloody head wrappings), used said gun, and shot the kid. Zimmerman was Latino, not white...so that's why I'm lost on it's relation to this comic joke. The problem with the whole Zimmerman situation is that the parents of the kid (who couldn't bother fully explaining why their teenager was in that neighborhood, that late at night), as well as other figureheads ('Reverend' Jessie Jackson) were all trying to play the race card in a tragedy that seemed to be at fault of both parties without consideration of race pre-shooting.
Wait, what? They couldn't explain what he was doing in the neighbourhood? I'm yet to see the visiting a friend claim be refuted, so...what?
Now, maybe it's just me, but I've watched like 4 hours of footage where George's brother Robert defends him with various variations of "black people are scary," up to and including comparing him to "another" criminal and ranting that the liberal media should ask why they find black people threatening. Based on one other dude. George brought race itno it himself, as well. It's fun to blame Jessie Jackson, but it's also disingenuous. Unless you're just looking to excuse Zimmerman's actions. Maybe you are, I don't know.
Also, Zimmerman has a white parent and was basically considered white up until race became an issue (how ironic for you to bring up that defense while complaining about the other side). Only then did he start getting called hispanic, and hispanic doesn't equal non-white in the first place. Poor defense, especially given the guy had previously shown hostility against "latinos." For someone who's multicultural and non-racist, yeah. That's suspect.
