That man is going to get an extremely brutal lesson in the difference between absolute and relative values.
In true genie fashion, the only change in their life is that now, a single occasion where a racist person decided not to hold a door open for them, changes so that they do.
Genies are all about malicious compliance.
Lol. I don’t know how you managed to have the absolute worst take to this stupid comic, but congratulations.
“The only racism Black people experience is one person not holding a door.” LMFAO
It’s not a “take”, goofball, it’s a joke. Get over yourself.
“Black, white, you’ll still not experience what it’s like to be blue. Or have your deed of slavery cursed into a literal lamp.”
Maybe the genie is not actually obligated to grant wishes, and could just turn you inside out if they wanted to.
Hope they made him suburban rich too
Say what you will, but the genie never misses ab day.
Genie: congratulations you are now a health insurance CEO! You will not know suffering for the rest of your days
easy is relative. all depends on how you see the world. while there is quantitative evidence for genetics to play a part in it, ease can be changed just as much by the person as by the environment.
And the twist is that he now is a Traveller in Ireland
wouldve been more effective to just make him rich
ah, good point.
I need to watch the wishmaster series. Of all the stuff with the concept of evil genies that twist the meaning of wishes into anything BUT the intention of the wisher, it would be that. Or so I heard.

As a white dude, I’d like to know when this shit gets easier?!?
be black first
Should have just inherited some money ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The race thing is just a diversion from the fact that financial prosperity is the true great division that separates us. But just keep believing that white people have it easier just because they’re white, because that’s much better for the oligarchs.
To be fair black people have been forcibly kept in lower class by wealthy white people
Racism itself is promoted and maintained by the ruling class because white supremacy serves to undermine class consciousness. The same playbook is uses for other forms of marginalization, but race is the most strongly maintained in the United States due to chattel slavery and the ruling class’ investment in it.
What this means is that while class is the major material dividing line that societal forces follow, racism is also a potent force. Just because it gets the oxygen it needs to survive from the continued class war does not mean that racism itself does not exist and make the lives of black people, brown people, etc harder. And white people do have it easier just because they’re white. So if you say otherwise, those who know better will not listen to you.
So, instead of going the route that dismisses the impact of racism, instead acknowledge that class and race oppressions are intertwined and that the former drives the latter, so we need to end capitalism in order to undo marginalization. And to do so in solidarity means you also need to take an anti-racist line and stand in solidarity with marginalized people.
We can’t deny systematic racism. It’s totally baked in.
I think you need to look at prison sentencing disparities if you don’t think white people have it easier than black people.
Everybody is ridiculous. I’m not saying people aren’t racist, but there’s no way to act on that fact. Go ahead and try lol. Now if you had money, it wouldn’t matter because you could afford a good lawyer to keep you out of trouble. Not everybody can be rich, but at least they can act on it. Good luck “acting on racism” because everybody already knows and nobody is going to change their mind if they’re already racist.
Do whatever you want!
Tell me you don’t know what systemic racism is without telling me you don’t know what systemic racism is.
Nah. He will be blamed for everything that’s happening in the world. White guilt is real.
And will also inherit white fragility, it seems.
South Park video game’s difficulty level is directly tied to the skin color as well.
What’s funny about that is the “difficulty slider” doesn’t actually affect gameplay.
“Just every other aspect of your life.”
I don’t remember if it does in Stick of Truth, but it does affect some things in Fractured But Whole.
He was later rejected by his family and ended up homeless and struggling.
