Gallows humor refers to making a joke about a serious situation.

Rock shared a meme on Instagram that had been making the rounds on Twitter.

Same on Twitter as well.



Apparently it's OK to refer to people of color as "thugs" and "animals" but a Black man points out a fact about recent acts of domestic terrorism in the United States and everyone loses their minds.

Giphy

But the "reverse racism" crowd got some pushback.

But one person nailed the issue.

Unless you're out here posting the same outrage when it's all people of color being targeted, your argument about stating a fact about a small, specific group of White people lacks merit.

President Donald Trump shared an unhinged tribute to Apple CEO Tim Cook—whom he again referred to as "Tim Apple"—following Cook's announcement that Apple will have a new leader starting in September, openly reminiscing about all the times Cook would call him to "kiss my ass."

Cook took over from Steve Jobs and reshaped Apple by leaning on his operations expertise. He streamlined and expanded global supply chains, introduced Apple-designed chips, and pushed the company beyond hardware into services, launching subscription offerings like Apple News, Apple TV+, and Apple Pay, which have since become major revenue drivers.
