A World War I veteran is the first person identified from graves filled with more than a hundred victims of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre that devastated the city’s Black community, the mayor said Friday.
Using DNA from descendants of his brothers, the remains of C.L. Daniel from Georgia were identified by Intermountain Forensics, said Mayor G.T. Bynum and officials from the lab. He was in his 20s when he was killed.
“This is one family who gets to give a member of their family that they lost a proper burial, after not knowing where they were for over a century,” Bynum said.
The reason this joke is bad is because it’s punching down. The subject of the joke is the victim of horrible atrocities. They should not be the core of the jokes punchline. If the joke made the perpetrators the butt of the joke, it would have worked.
Buddy there was no butt of this joke, certainly not making fun of any victims. unless the victims are Intermountain Forensics.
the joke comes at the expense of a victim.
It really does not. If it does, what victim is being made fun of?
THE WORLD WAR 1 BLACK AMERICAN
How the fuck does it make fun of that person?
It makes fun of the fact that 1898 was before WWI, that DNA testing wasn’t a thing in 1898, and that the people massacring others in a different town in 1898 probably weren’t interested in having justice for their victims.
Dude, just accept that a lot of people here thought your joke was crass and offensive.
