        color theory don’t mean shit when you is leaving blood trails

        Reading the whitest people on the internet typing shit in AAVE will never not make me cringe.

          AAVE is not strictly racial - though not extremely common, there are many non-black americans/canadians that are native speakers of the dialect, and it’s extremely common for non-black americans in racially diverse regions to speak it as a 2nd dialect (for example, me).

          Also… how do you know they’re white?

      It is the same as is explained. The carpet has a red backing that is used for the red trim of the pattern and it wears down in areas. Her father is seeing it as a brown and the carpet looks like it is disgusting and filthy at best and covered in shit at worst. But the carpet actually has worn in a pattern that the original owners never thought of and looks like a bloody murder scene.

      The comic the Animaniacs were going to tell him “OH MY GOD, IT IS A MURDER SCENE, YOU ARE WALKING ALL OVER THE BLOOD!!!” and Jacko was like “Don’t, its too easy”.

      Honestly I prefer the original. At least then I can tell it’s the carpet easily. But the colorblindness ones look a lot like shit

    But the dad have always see blood as that same “brown” tone, so it’s more likely that he also meaning “blood” instead of “shit”.

    I was doing a job at a client’s new site and this is what their carpets looked like throughout most of the office.

    I stopped dead in my tracks when I walked in.

    Red-green colorblind person here. It’s only some shades of red and green that get muddied into a kind of brown. To me, that is red as fuck. Not brown.
