The theme of that bingo chart is, "this is wacky shit white people come up with to cover up their racism and happiness over Martin's death and Zimmerman's acquittal". "When white people talk about white people stuff like the law, they're really being racist, and we see right through them."
I think the chart and the comments along the same lines is more like trolling than sincere racism though. The goal is to get white people to feel generalized and riled up, so they can experience just a small taste of the reality of suppressed minorities. "See how you like it". And I get it - it's not fun to be generalized as a racist, but it's at least 1,000 times worse, and much more dangerous, to be generalized by a racial profiling cop, or by a paranoid armed neighborhood watchmen. It's still racist though, and it's still trolling, and IMO, it really has no place in a discussion like this where people are talking about this civilly. Why troll us?
