If…I understand… and I’m not sure i do… it’s a reference to a retort Harris had a while back. (maybe this speech)
My mother used to — she would give us a hard time sometimes, and she would say to us, “I don’t know what’s wrong with you young people. You think you just fell out of a coconut tree?” (Laughs.)
You exist in the context of all in which you live and what came before you.
part of a swearing in ceremony for something. in any case, IIRC her father is Jamaican, so there’s some of that too.
You exist in the context of all in which you live and what came before you
Relatively speaking to the American quality of discourse, that’s almost a Marxist dialectical analysis.
i don’t know why people meme on it. it’s not nonsensical. it just means “you think you came out of nowhere?”… it’s pretty clear that’s what it means too. people acting like it’s some indecipherable saying.
Yea, or you could take it literally, as in you’d be disoriented and maybe have a concussion if you just fell out of a coconut tree.
Makes sense.
Sounds like you need some … context
Understanding a statement like that requires a minimum of mental acuity. No wonder the Republicans freaked out.
Lawls, I posted this only ever seeing the memes and/or references to “coconut tree” - all without any context. Never saw the original statement.
I looked it up after making the meme, just thought it was funny either way.
Yall really be acting like you just fell right out of a coconut tree
You exist in the context of all in which you live and what came before you
Well, A told B and B told C I’ll meet you at the top of the coconut tree.
Eastern racists trying to do an agitprop.
Disregard the scum.
eastern racists?
I guess she told a story about a coconut tree. I was assuming it was because memers were encouraging Joe Biden to retire and have a relaxing drink out of a coconut under a tree in Hawaii or whatever.
I think you need some context: Brother bought a coconut, he bought it for a dime. His sister had another one and paid it for a lime.
