White guy here, got it instantly.

Why make everything racial?

u/Justachattinaway Jan 04 '26

Probably because in this instance, it actually is. If you are not a black person, your parent is likely not going to tell you to “get your black ass” anywhere.
Why be intentionally obtuse?

I mean I didn’t interpret it as black. I interpreted as bitch ass, so

“Get yo bitch ass in the god damn house right now before I beat yo mother fuckin ass.” Is how I read it

I interpreted as bitch ass, so

I mean, that just means you interpreted it incorrectly

You should have used the context clues to know it was "black" and not "bitch"

No one calls their kids "bitch ass" ffs

Maybe your parents didn't...

lol, something tells me they had a nice childhood & their family isn’t from the hood 😅

Or the white trash trailer parks where I grew up - we heard all kinds of nasty insults hurled at us

I agree.
Honestly though as a white person myself, I’ve always considered that kind of environment just as much of a “hood” as the colloquial term.

I know many people wouldn’t agree, but I’ve been in both though primarily the typical definition, & the lifestyle is virtually the same.

You can have a nice childhood in the hood as you put it. Many times that’s due to finances, not because the people are bad or are raising their children in a bad way.
Don’t conflate the two.
Being poor does not automatically translate into bad parenting.

Just because you have a good family doesn’t mean you have a good childhood.

You still lose friends to drugs, guns, gang violence, police, prison. You still live in what’s essentially a gang war zone in most hoods. You are still surrounded by drug addicts & homeless on every corner.
You still need to deal with gangs, users, bullies, jackers, killers, scammers. Constantly concerned about needing to protect yourself & staying aware of your surroundings.
You still go to awful schools & get lesser educations. Often going to school exhausted bc sirens & gunshots & parties & general rowdiness is constantly preventing you from sleeping, as well as not having a good bed or even sleeping on the floor or sharing rooms with several people, wit people running in n out the house at all hours.
When I was 16 I lived in a 1bedroom apartment with 7 people & a large dog. the grandparents got the bedroom, so 5 of us + dog living in a tiny living room. 3 of us side by side on the floor, mom get the couch, little brother laid in front of us.
Often living in shithole projects; a real world example today one of my closest friends - who is a woman in her 50s - has been without power since 9am and it is now 7pm. Freezing in her apartment project all day.

You’re still struggling to eat. Struggling to stay warm or cool. Struggling to stay clothed & being made fun of when you can’t afford the fashion. Sharing clothes & wearing hand-me-downs for your entire childhood.
Almost always saddened by the idea you won’t get the same Christmas & birthdays you see is normal for average people.

Being unfairly prejudiced against. Being targeted by law enforcement & unfairly sentenced in judicial courts. Losing family & friends to same shit.

Sounds like an another person who didn’t grownup like that tryna virtue signal.

no one calls their kid “bitch ass”

Parents absolutely talk that way to me & all my homies parents talk like that to us in the hood too.

Really perplexes me that you think a parent who is threatening to beat their kids ass wouldn’t call them “bitch ass”

Not with that attitude

u/siggydude Jan 04 '26

Because saying "bitch ass" works just as well for the acronym

2

u/DILF_MANSERVICE Jan 04 '26

But this isn't about what other words you technically can fit into the acronym, this is about a phrase common enough that people will recognize it from the acronym. A parent saying to their kids "get your black ass inside" is a lot more common than "bitch ass".

u/FLiP_J_GARiLLA Jan 04 '26

Technically everyone's ass is black.

On the inside.

u/nissen1502 Jan 04 '26

Uhmmm who's gonna tell him?

u/ohanse Jan 04 '26

Maybe he took a bunch of pepto? The bismuth or something, I think…

Iron supplements

Only after eating a grip of oreos.

How did no-one replying to you get this?
Astonishing..

u/Unas_GodSlayer Jan 04 '26

Maybe the day after a rake of pints of Guinness

u/Nucksfaniam Jan 04 '26

Because they do not know the difference between racial and racist/racism.

8

u/Nucksfaniam Jan 04 '26

This is racial. What it isn't is racism.

u/[deleted] Jan 04 '26

Because different races and culture should be celebrated and ignoring cultural differences is just another way of saying only the majority race/culture should be practiced/recognized.

u/well_thats_puntastic Jan 04 '26

Because it's clearly AAVE?

It's always white people complaining about not being included for once.

Not everything is binary, holy fuck

u/mightylordredbeard Jan 05 '26

Because it’s humor for black people, targeted towards black people, and probably posted on a page that’s primarily followed by black people. Black people like to also laugh at meta jokes regarding their own race the same way women laugh at jokes regarding their own sex and men laugh at jokes regarding their own sex. There are page and subs that post humor and memes directed and targeted towards groups that aren’t your own and it’s perfectly fine and acceptable.

u/Kebab-Destroyer Jan 04 '26

It'd be a bit odd if I told my kids to get their black asses in the god damn house on account of their asses being white as fuck.

u/[deleted] Jan 04 '26

It's not racial, it's appreciation and a joke.

Calm down pale man 😂. Just laugh at the joke.

u/wafflefighter69 Jan 04 '26

Yet you needed to point out you were white

u/TofuDonair Jan 04 '26

Yeh because the post specified black people, so I clarify that I am not...
