Got sent this by my boss.
Would you be offended?

Offensive to who? (Whom? Never sure which it should be...)

If I were a clown I suppose I might be offended, but I'm not.

MrFaceyRomford · 28/04/2020 22:58

If you are seeing "yellow" Lockdown either your screen needs looking at or you need to get your vision checked. I'm seeing a slightly pink shade.

JimmyTheWeed · 28/04/2020 23:02

Why? What's offensive about it? Obama is black and Trump is a clown.

RapunzelinQuarantine · 28/04/2020 23:05

I think it’s funny. It’s not supposed to be literal since obviously not all the former presidents had moustaches. Bet a lot of Trump supporters would be ‘triggered’ though!

justanotherneighinparadise · 28/04/2020 23:05

The last emoji should have been the 💩

Thurmanmurman · 28/04/2020 23:06

No

RapunzelinQuarantine · 28/04/2020 23:06

I feel like y’all need to see bearded daddy Obama if you haven’t already. Wink

No but I'm not a clown. I suppose clowns every where will be clutching at their balloon animals offended though 🤷🏻‍♀️

user1471504210 · 28/04/2020 23:11

Frothy frothy froth froth.

ProfChaos · 28/04/2020 23:11

@RapunzelinQuarantine 😋😋😋

I still would.

thistimelastweek · 28/04/2020 23:15

Totally going against the trend here but I don't feel comfortable with that image. It's plain wrong.
Great men, past and present get reduced to the colour of their skin. For a cheap joke.
I can't even think why someone thought it ok in the first place.

SpoonBlender · 28/04/2020 23:15

Definitely! Sorry, Michelle.

ofwarren · 28/04/2020 23:18

I think Obama looks great with a beard!

PotterHarryWitch · 28/04/2020 23:18

Not offensive. Trump is a clown. Obama does not look that old.

MT2017 · 28/04/2020 23:28

No. Were you offended?

Tillygetsit · 28/04/2020 23:40

Obama with a beard 😍 woof! Get a life, OP.

Notmyrealname855 · 28/04/2020 23:41

thistimelastweek but it’s not just a joke about Trump, it’s about representation too. At least, when I saw it laid out like that it’s pretty sad in a diverse country! Same as lots of countries, like the UK

Sparklesocks · 28/04/2020 23:42

So OP hasn’t got any posting history, posted this and hasn’t responded since. Very interesting.

Boatymcboatofftheboat · 29/04/2020 08:10

The clown emoji is an inaccurate representation of Donald’s resplendent mane

theemmadilemma · 29/04/2020 08:19

I miss Obama. Nice beard.

It's accurate and not offensive as far as I can see.

SimonJT · 29/04/2020 08:24

It’s offensive to clowns, there won’t be a single clown with a lower IQ than Trump 😂

Baconisgoodformeee · 29/04/2020 08:29

It actually makes you think for a second about something (not just trump) - people who say there is no patriarchy etc - the world has been run by white men for ever!

homeschoolmyarse · 29/04/2020 08:31

Obama looks lovely with a beard

Changeofname79 · 29/04/2020 08:32

Not offensive at all but this thread has brightened up my morning.

picklemewalnuts · 29/04/2020 08:32

@homeschoolmyarse Obama just looks lovely, full stop. I think he's one of those people whose personality and integrity show through.
