"You were a racist site!"
The absolute lack of subtlety on this meme, my god. The point blank spelling out of the authors opinion, the complete absence of a joke, and that exclamation mark. My word.
Xitter, pronounced as shitter
- l already said that
  
  Oh I see. As you can see, I don't read in the mornings

  Just know that it's a racist site
  
  Name a social media site that isnt racist.
