I have heard a lot of stupid things in my tine but this..fucking takes the cake. U mad bro is just a saying its not offensive to any person of coloured skin. The one thing that makes me wonder about it is who thought it was racist in the first place?

lol they mad

Seriously though, the whole "U mad" meme has been in the lingo of society for awhile now. I know it had gotten its start as an internet meme, but I've heard it enough in conversation to consider it a part of modern lingo. Even then, those who didn't know what it meant, cannot simply take the word, "bro," and deem it racial. People always look for small things like this to hate on, and its just fucking ridiculous.

This is shockingly reminiscent of the case of a group of teenagers who were arrested for rapping their order at a McDonalds drive-thru. The staff at that particular McDonalds justified calling the police regarding the teenagers because the rapping of the order supposedly made the staff feel threatened. We live in a ridiculous world. We really, really do.

My God, I fucking hate the NAACP, why do they take everything racially? Really, they lost all relevance in 1964.


Please disregard all of my pre-2013 posts. I was young and borderline retarded.

The ones who pretend to be offended by "U mad, bro?" are really the ones at fault. Calling a phase such as that racist is discriminatory because they assume that it is directed at a specific ethnicity due to the fact it uses the term "bro" and it contains incorrect grammar. This is implying only one ethnicity uses the term "bro" and only they are capable of poor syntax. There is nothing to suggest it it was directed at one ethnicity.

It also shows complete and absolute ignorance on their part. They may as well paste a sign to their back saying "I do not understand people born after I was, I will never make any attempt to do so, and change scares me into the fetal position." as that is what they are conveying. This could have easily been cleared up by talking to the students and doing independent research, but who needs verification of facts when you can use buzzwords such as "Racial slur", "Racist", and "Offending" and instantly get attention from the media.

High school students were charged with racial intimidation because they unveiled a banner at their school's football game that read "U MAD BRO". Just a terrible case of being stupid and easily offended.

So in conclusion, yeah, they mad.

People these days are too easily offended and need to b able to identify a joke when they see one.

No look again if you noticed they actually spelled it proper "You mad bro? Ironically they didn't seem too
familiar with the joke. Especially since the media looked up urban dictionary.

Nothing racist about that term at all. Why everybody gotta make shit racist nowdays? That sign was inappropriate, but I'm black and I don't think that's racist.

Here's my theory: If someone finds something like this as racist, then they're likely the more racist one.

I think it does. While most wouldn't think that it is even in the slightest offensive, others get offended by almost everything.
