I’ve seen a few people repeating Roy Wood Jr.’s joke about Clarence Thomas being an NFT.
And I’ve got to say, I’m a little conflicted on this – because I don’t really believe that’s our (and here I mean white people) joke to make. Calling someone a token is something Roy Wood Jr. can do. I don’t think it’s something we should be doing as white people.
I mean, I get it, it’s a killer burn, and it feels good to have something to give an apparently corrupt judge that’s insulting. But I think when we (white people) use it…well, it’s just not our place to make that determination.
If we want the fediverse to be more diverse, we need to see to at least some of the background radiation of racism. This is that kind of thing.
