    1. pizza and pasta boi Your like 6 😂😂you need to stay in school because what you don’t know will hurt you

    2. Go and say the N word to somebody irl then and then send me a selfie of ur face (if u are able to lift up ur phone to take the selfie) 😂

    3. @pizza and pasta boi you’re attempting to speak logically and philosophically with leftist and minorities. You’ve basically invited a “who can come up with the snarkiest insult is the most intelligent” contest.
      Its a shame they are too stupid to see the bigger picture.

    1. ‘YOU DON’T KNOW HOW MUCH ADVERSITY WE FACED’
      ‘STOP IT THIS IS LIKE THE N WORD’

      Wow, passion of the Christ, eh?

    2. @The Sparkle Zone I keep hearing that this was said by boomers but could you tell me who specifically? Because I cant find any boomer who has said that.

    1. @Uno Reverse Card neither do I considering the fact that I dont think any boomer has ever said that

  1. Me calls my grandpa a boomer

    30 years later

    Me: get off your phone

    Kid: Ok zoomer

    Me: No dont do that dont give me hope

    1. Penguin Dude I understood that reference. Unless you didn’t mean to make the reference, then I still understood the reference.

  2. The fact that they said ‘ok boomer’ and not the actual n-word, means that they are not on the same level.

  3. She is just making “ok boomer” look like we are just joking around

    ITS A COMEBACK😂😂😂

    Edit: it’s a joke

    Just kidding I didn’t make an edit

  4. The Nword is the Nword, don’t compare somebody putting a old crusty bad breath boomer in their place to such a despicable overstatement.

  5. The phrase “ok boomer” has just become yet another trivial insult for leftists to debate somebodies physical characteristics, instead of what they are saying.
    Its a phrase for morons really, so is millennial.
