Apparently Sophie Duker is a stand-up comedian and blacktivist author. She appeared on Frankie Boyle’s aptly named BBC 2 show, “New World Order,” where she “joked” about killing Whitey.
White power is Trump Tower. When we say we want to kill whitey, we don’t really want to kill whitey… we do.”
The audience gave a good laugh after that genocidal joke.
She went on with some gibberish about Whiteness being a capitalist structure of supremacy.
Whiteness is a capitalist structure, it benefits itself. It hurts white people, it hurts black people, but still this kind of fear of a black alternative and it’s these rhetorics battled against each other, these extreme capitalist rhetorics of supremacy.”
This is what goes for @bbccomedy now:
“White power is Trump Tower..when we say we want to kill whitey we dont really mean we want to kill whitey (we do) *laughter* but when we say we want to kill whitey, it’s like but not today. Whiteness is a capitalist structure”@sophiedukebox pic.twitter.com/MbJNHE0piq— Ben Harris-Quinney #Brexit (@B_HQ) September 15, 2020
Just consider the outrage that would ensue if a White person made a joke about really wanting to kill Blacks or jews.
Needless to say, there was a bit of controversy after this “joke” was made.
The BBC released a statement:
Frankie Boyle’s New World Order was shown after 10pm and its content is within audience expectations for a post-watershed, topical, satirical programme from a comedian whose style and tone are well-established.”
Guys, genocidal jokes are completely acceptable after 10pm. Plus, the woman made the comments about wanting to kill Whitey has a well-established tone and style, which makes her “comedy” kosher. This is post-watershed, so stop being so uptight!
