      Based on the dark humor groups on Facebook, I am quite confident this is what racists actually believe. Transphobes too.

      The poorly educated think dark humor is a joke an acceptable way to joke about ideas they hate.

      When a study linking dark humor to intelligence was released, the knuckle draggers clucked and strutted about, thinking their hatred indicated intelligence.

    Dark humor is a coping mechanism. You either get it or you don’t. Racists aren’t making jokes, they’re making statements and desperately hoping you like them. They turn into jokes when they fail. Just like when their dad went for milk and cigarettes.
