What they say Take a joke!

What they mean You should be OK with injustice because I think it's funny.

What they say Get a sense of humor!

What they mean I've never thought critically about any of these issues and your perspective is different and that scares me. I like being able to brush this stuff off. Can't you just let me brush you off? In fact, you should also be laughing.

What they say But it's funny!

What they mean My ability to laugh at the same old tired shit over and over is more important than your lived experience.
