Whether he missed Jerm’s joke completely or just really didn’t like it, the EFF leader reacted with outrage.
EFF leader Julius Malema took to Twitter to react angrily to a tweet from cartoonist Jeremy “Jerm” Nell, in which he joked about using his “privilege” to buy groceries. “I used my privilege to get groceries yesterday. Didn’t need money. It was amazing. I just told the teller that I’m privileged and she gave it all to me. How did you use your privilege?” Nell tweeted.Most reacted to the tweet by assuming Malema had missed the joke completely and was suggesting that under an ANC government white people, or those who are “privileged”, are being given free groceries.
Nell himself assumed the former, responding to the leader of the red berets: “It was a joke, Julius. Nobody gives me groceries for free simply because of my skin colour. I pay for them like everybody else.”
Wait, so a white person jokes about something that prejudices against black people, and black people are supposed to laugh? That 'joke' got the treatment it deserves because it trivialises a very real social ill. mynameisjerm Julius_S_Malema Donadam2016 EFFSouthAfrica

Trump slammed for 'silence' on white supremacist threatThe White House was forced to deny any affinity between the president's anti-immigration rhetoric and the Christchurch suspect's extremist views. Well cause I suppose its dwarfed by the other threats. It doesn't matter what he said or didn't. He would have been slammed either way. Charge him for inciting violence. Lock the fr up for in quantanamo bay and let him rot. He is the cause of the world's problems
