What is it about this man that says to you "coke dealer"

[Puppycow]

Is there something about the appearance of this man that suggests that he is a cocaine dealer?

Only to O'Reilly.

Love Hill's reply.
I wonder how O'Reilly would be able to judge that he looks a bit like a cocaine dealer.
The question that actually came up for me was "Looks rather young for a professor".

It was was a joke. Funny how no one is whining about the guy's reply, which was no less "racist."

It's the word "Columbia" on his right lapel, dead give-away that one.

The only way that guy could be a coke dealer is if he were appointed Deputy Director of the CIA, which doesn't seem terribly likely.

Really? What's funny about it?

Now that's a joke, right?

Ya it was clearly a poor joke, but a joke. And the response was wonderfully snappy. Well done!

I think it's the shaved head and carefully shaped facial hair combined with an obviously extremely expensive suit.

If he wants to look like a (stereotypical) professor he should stop shaving his head, be either clean-shaved or have an unkempt beard, and should be wearing a tweed jacket with leather patches on the elbows. Glasses would help too.

Of course, I doubt a real life coke dealer would tend to look any more like a stereotypical coke dealer than this professor looks like a stereotypical professor.

Its funny because he is a well dressed black man. Everyone knows the only way blacks get enough money to dress like that is through drugs....

So what is it a joke about if not his race? Look this isn't the most racist thing he has said, O'Reily really is racist. I remember him being amazed a black owned restaurant could be nice from before.

See here for more on that.

Sounds like an idea for a JREF poll:

Do you look like a coke dealer?

I know a few who must...just sayin'

I didn't say how good of a joke it was, only that it was a joke.

Still going too fast for you?

Now that's a joke, right?

No, but your reply was.

Why does it seem like black guys always have perfectly shaved goatees?

 

[r0ast_p0tat0es]

My drug dealer looks like a Nigerian gangster.

Funny coincidence, that...

Considering your location, not really.
