yank one's chain

To annoy someone, especially about something they're concerned with or sensitive to, usually in a specious or humorous manner, just for the sake of annoying them. A real-world form of trolling..

'I proved to Bubba that Black people were superior to White -- it was all b.s., but I wanted to yank one's chain a bit.
