(I'm suspicious also but I find some of these genuinely hilarious because I'm thinking about the kids on The Wire while I read. Unfortunately I'm not sure if that makes me really racist or not?)

Fake as all hell. Love how he uses the words "urban" and "ghetto" as a subsitute for "black" to hide how blatantly racist this is.

I found the "cut and paste this orange leaf" one very sweet, then wondered if the tumblr was racist. I can't tell if this guilt I'm feeling is correctly orientated or not.

I am so sick of this fucking racist trend of stupid websites talking about "ghetto" kids. Why is this posted here?

I was going to send the link to this guy, but he'd just excoriate me for being a dumbass because of how obviously racist this is.

Didn't know it was actually literally a "trend", this is the first I've ever seen it and racist or not I find it very funny. But then I'm not American so I can't really have a very strong opinion about this sort of thing. *shrugs* Anyway I've self-flagged the post since people seem upset, so there we have it!

I was thinking of that idiotic blog where the guy purported to be posting the things his 13 year old cousin would send him or whatever..

If we had gifs, here is where I would link to that one of Orson Welles clapping.
