Would you prefer they go back to using the n-word instead?

Edit: maybe the downvote was because you don't know:

From https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/my-brother-in-christ :

My Brother in Christ is a recaption meme trend using "my brother in Christ" as a slang term put on top of words, most often replacing the N-word, in other meme captions to enhance the original meaning by adding a flair of polite Christianity for humorous effect.

Edit: fixed link.

Without context this is extremely funny though

"I don't like this expression"

"OH YEAH? Then I'm gonna go back to using the N-word"

[–] grue@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

I didn't say I was gonna do it! I don't use either expression.

Colon is breaking your link, btw. Thanks for sharing, though, that was interesting.
