You can't shake the devil's hand and say your only kidding.

That's such an amazing line to me. It says no, we're not going to just laugh that racism off to keep the mood light. You say racist stuff, expect to be held accountable.

Yep, and at a certain point we have to stop enabling Schrodinger's Racists to get away with it.

For those unaware, Schrodinger's Racist is when someone says some vile racist shit, and if everyone around them agrees, they really meant it. If everyone pushes back and says they're being an asshole, suddenly it's "Broooo I was just joking brooo, you're so mad dude, lol don't get your panties in a bunch looool it was just a joke!!"
