🚨Warning Black people!🚨
-
I know that Bruce Lee used his martial arts and movie stardom to work *with* Black civil rights leaders, and to amplify their causes, and that this made him very popular with Black people all over the world.
But again, this isn't about you.
Stop being selfish!

@mekkaokereke Ironically (and this is a fun one about me), my parents didn’t like Lee (because he cheated on his wife) so as a kid my pencil case was of John Shaft. (We then moved to New Zealand and the white kids had that puny Luke Skywalker on theirs and I had John freaking Shaft.)

Warning Black people!Another famous white person with trash views has died! Do not use their own words against them, or *moderators may be forced to ban you!
Do not mention that "1000 years of darkness" is a white nationalist and great replacement dog whistle!
Don't mention birtherism!

Good riddance moron! Hope he burns. -
@mekkaokereke It's hard to imagine anyone could prefer Chuck Norris to Bruce Lee.
Hell, I'm not sure I prefer *anybody* to Bruce Lee. I sit down to watch a Bruce Lee movie and the whole time I'm just going "this is the coolest motherfucker who ever lived."
I only have one Chuck Norris joke I keep in rotation:
why do you always hear Chuck Norris jokes, but not Bruce Lee jokes?
Because Bruce Lee is no joke.

Shaft doesnʼt deal with pussy stuff like the force. -

).@mekkaokereke One of my coworkers made one of those "Chuck Norris is so strong" jokes once, and I said he was a pretty bad guy so I didn't care to lionize him.
He said, "Just because he disagrees with you doesn't mean he's a bad guy."
I shot back with, "Depends on what we disagree on." I never heard another Chuck Norris joke from him. So, mission accomplished I guess.
sigh I bet he says one on Monday, though.

@Azuaron @mekkaokereke maybe if he does you can just shrug and say "maybe but I guess death is stronger"?

Didnt know
. Thank you for sharing this! 
I find it hard to accept this amount of racism and to accept the acceptance of it all around. But this makes it so important to open your eyes to the issue. We cant solve it as long as we CHOOSE not to see it.

@Azuaron @mekkaokereke I didn’t know about Chuck and his views. I have a genuinely heartwarming and funny Chuck Norris story, that is rather personal. I told it to one person yesterday before I found Mekka’s thread, and now I regret telling it.
I’m not glad he’s dead but I’ve got better things to think about and put my energy into. Sure I’m sad about my story, but it is a personal one and I’ll just have to recontextualize and think about it on my own.
