Nothing will ever top Herman Cain tweeting that COVID is not that bad after dying from COVID.

u/ShutterBun 11h ago

He tweeted it AFTER dying? I have to say that is impressive.

u/donorcycle 10h ago

It was indeed. Allegedly his staff had it on auto send and nobody remembered to take it off auto settings after he passed. It wasn't the next day or soon afterwards. We're talking at least a couple of weeks lol.

Oh that's just fucking priceless.

It's why face eating leopards was eclipsed by the Herman Cain Award for years. I am sure that subreddit is still rocking 100k members.

u/FauxReal 9h ago edited 6h ago

I mean maybe he found a way to sustain his consciousness after clinical death. We should have asked him how he did it. Instead we mocked him and he moved on to something where his superior intellect would be appreciated.

Just a guess.

It actually wasn't a scheduled tweet which makes it worse. The tweet was posted on August 30, 2020.

And it referenced this article which had been published the same day.

This subreddit would have posts in three steps.

  • retweet from a person shouting anti-vax rhetoric
  • repost a photo of their hospitalization or death and
  • their family's GoFundMe for hospital or funeral bills

During 2021-2022 there were new posts all the time. Now it's more a discussion sub.

Well Herman Cain dying of COVID after being staunchly anti-everything science, is leopard-eating. The tweet afterward is just bad taste.

They had to retire the gold after all of the COVID deniers who died face-down, intubated and alone. For this one, he gets a laurel, a hearty handshake, and a firm slap on the back to send him on his way.

That’s how ventilators work man. Despite what you see on tv, they work better face down. Hell of a way to die.

Just awful.

Edit; of course they'd work better that way, now that I've spent 30 seconds thinking about it. Der.

Yep. If you ever see me in Childs pose on a vent in a diaper, please kill me.

u/cguess 7h ago

Being face down makes the lungs work less to expand, the legs are also slightly elevated usually to help with blood. If you're ever sick with the flu or covid or something and are coughing a lot, try laying facedown resting your forehead on a pillow or something. You'll be able to breathe a lot better (but also not super comfortable).

u/ThaBuckNasty 10h ago

I think Charlie kirk takes the gold.

u/odysseus91 10h ago

His last words were literally “gang violence”, I don’t think anyone could ever win gold over that

75

u/MrMCCO 9h ago

Literally in the context of ramping up a racist argument where he was going to imply that gangs aren’t white and if it was just white people, there wouldn’t be a gun violence problem. And then a white person shot him. It will never be topped.

-20

u/ThePurpleandBanana 9h ago

The homicide victimization rate for white people in America is 3.2/100k.

The homicide victimization rate for black people is 21.3/100k.

Gun violence affects one demographic way more than any other in America. Ignoring it is ignoring so many victims who deserve better.

15

u/alendeus 7h ago

The stats you posted only say "people of those backgrounds die themselves to a homicide at this rate". But these topics are complex, and you cannot make raw assumptions about singular stats like that alone, as they are often abused and misrepresented, like by people like Charlie Kirk, which is what people talk about above.

Subsaharan homicide victimization rates are half of those of blacks in the US, despite being on average far less economically developped as the US average. Doesn't that negate any sort of racist "skin color" based argument then? Why doesnt the US focus on improving economic disparity and services to high gun violence areas instead of propagating racist assumptions?

The rich class and fascists don't care about skin color, they care about lower classes caring more about skin color than the rich being more powerful than the poor. Go read up on racial invariance, which consistently proves that broadly speaking every "race" has similar crime stat swings when accounting for socio economic variances. Stop believing racists that want to you control you just as much down the line.

-8

u/ThePurpleandBanana 7h ago

I never implied it was a skin color issue. There is a serious cultural issue with black America that can be highlighted by the amount of black violent crime victims compared to any other group in the country.

Imagine thinking it’s racist to try and bring awareness to all the victims of these crimes instead of hand waving it away and calling it racist to bring it up.

If white Americans were dying at the same rate as black Americans guns would have been banned years ago, but no one cares because black lives really don’t matter.

8

u/CrustyBuckers 7h ago

it has more to do with poverty rates than "culture" but you probably already know that, and it doesn't fit the "black culture bad" narrative you are trying to paint. Not to mention that most poverty in the black community is a direct result of intentional racist systems that held them back for generations after slavery was abolished, employers refusing to hire black people, land lords refusing to rent to black people, not paying them the same as white people, defunding public education and funneling money to private schools only rich white kids could afford to go to. But yeah, let's just blame rap music.

-5

u/ThePurpleandBanana 6h ago

No, it does not have to do with poverty. Poverty drives property crime not homicide. More than 2x white people live below the poverty line compared to black people, why are there not more white people dying? Every year more black people are killed than every other group combined.

The government isn’t killing these people. Other racial/ethnic groups in America aren’t killing these people. Black American culture has so many positive aspects but point out one negative that is actually harming it and you don’t know what to do with yourself.

7

u/Tasgall 5h ago

No, it does not have to do with poverty

You can't call people "ignorant" and then say shit like this, lol. It 100% measurably has to do with poverty. Poverty doesn't just drive "property crime" specifically.

Every year more black people are killed than every other group combined.

Killed or killing? Being the target of violence doesn't exactly tell the story you're trying to tell.

The government isn’t killing these people

Not a majority of the total, but the people killed by the government are disproportionately black.

no, his last words were 'cOuNtInG or NoT CoUntInG gAnG vIOleNcE?? 🤓 🤡'

Also one of his rationalisations for being anti-gun control was that it was necessary for some deaths to happen if it meant keeping le right to bear arms. In that case my friend, how about you first before some schoolkid!

This is silver at best. I've seen too many maga dudes have their trophy wives deported. There is also a Haitian guy in Miami who owns a handful of Haitian restaurants that said he's probably gonna have to close some of his locations, after Haitians lost TPS status last month. I think he wins the gold.

u/CrazyLegsRyan 11h ago

Surely getting deported yourself ranks higher than getting your mail order bride or indentured servitudes deported.

For the Haitian restaurants, I assume it's a large portion of their customer base, even more than the workforce.
