The Clapback Mailbag is over.
We’ll continue to respond to emails, DMs, tweets and comments every Friday but, to be honest, there’ll never be another mailbag as good as this week’s collection of well-moisturized whiteness. This one is filled with 40 percent more whiteness. This one is the fulfillment of all our clapback dreams. This one exemplifies the concept of white tears. This is what we mean when we talk about “whataboutisms.” This is why the mailbag exists.

This is white people.
In fact, you know I am not a man prone to hyperbole (sarcasm font). However, when this world has ceased to exist; when the oceans have consumed the continents and the sharks are eating the last remaining zebras (because of the long necks); when Jesus or Zeus or T’Challa or the great Panther in the sky returns to itemize and pass judgment on all that has ever existed; after they separate the wheat from the chaff, the lion from the lamb and good from evil; just before they beat the swords into plowshares, they may need a point of reference to understand the phenomenon of white supremacy. If, for some reason, they ask: “What is this Clapback Mailbag whom you speak of?”
