This is funny in that black humor sort of way.

I like the expression "black humor". It is one of the few "black" idioms that isn't considered negative, or in opposition to something more favorable, like a "blacklist" is a bad thing, you want to be on the "whitelist". You aren't invited to a club because you were "blackballed". But black humor is just humor found in a grim situation.

And the situation is very grim, I think. I keep seeing unsubstantiated stories about white people being killed for opposing BLM. These stories are being pushed in an organized fashion by groups with agendas. People trying to fan the flames, people who want to create even greater antagonism between the BLM movement and people who refuse to become Woke. As if they want to trick just one black person into committing violence against a white person over the use of a slogan. Or violence against BLM by someone who is openly a white supremacist. Then they can put that news story on endless repeat on social media.

This might not be the best forum for my musings. Oh well, I'll put it here anyway.

Switch the words white and black and see how that goes.

I have used "white" and "black" in many places, I'm not sure what you mean. White humor? Whiteballed?
