I had a friend (black) who got a fruit basket with majority bananas from her employer. She was really happy about it, so I didn't say anything, but it gave me pause πŸ˜‚

My job just gave me the equivalent of $5 on their stupid company store thing for my birthday.

Nah this is clearly with an A. A bottle of henny on the cake is a bro move.

And this comes from a CertifiedBlackGuy!

And some cracker downvoted him anyway.

Why did they put the bottle on top of the cake? That's weird. Right?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 4 months ago

If the bottle is in the cake then you can't read Hennessy.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 months ago (2 children)

It's an hyper realistic cake.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (2 children)

You think the bow is cake too?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

Everything is cake.

My wife is cake.

Lemmy is cake.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

That booty πŸ‘? Also cake πŸŽ‚

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Actually it's a hyper realistic Hennessy bottle!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

It's so realistic, it functions as an actual Hennessy bottle and has real Hennessy inside. Art is amazing.

[–] [email protected] 49 points 4 months ago

If you put the cake on top of the bottle it just breaks the cake apart.

Can someone explain this to me?

Is he saying it's racist?

[–] [email protected] 22 points 4 months ago (1 children)

That’s the implication here, yes.

Hopefully it was just a joke though.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Oh, I thought they were being accused of alcoholism.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Nah, this is 100% about Hennessy being a stereotypical drink for black people.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

I mean, it's the biggest Cognac brand. Since my uncle sold his domain, where else are you supposed to buy?

[–] [email protected] 28 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I was not aware of that stereotype. Thank you for the enlightenment. I think.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Yeah, US & UK hip-hop and grime β€œpromotes” cognac quite heavily. There’s even the classic Busta Rhymes joint β€œPass the Courvoisier”.
