I love black women, but black women can be demanding! I only know of only 1 white man who knows how to really please a black woman, and that's Col. Sanders

Now if i tell this joke to a black dude, and we both have a good laugh, does that make him sexist... and me racist for telling it?

Here's a good example of subconscious racism. Have you ever noticed how it's usually the liberal elite who are the first to call someone a racist, ban racial humor, and offer blacks and other so called minorities special privileges? That's because they subconsciously look down on them. I believe they subconsciously feel that these folks are so inferior that they (the liberal elite) must protect them.

I think that's ridiculous. Blacks and gays would be better off without your so called "help".
youre right on man ... thanx
its more than racism to me .... by someone calling a joke racist... it just proves that rascism exist ... if it didnt no one would have minded that joke....

we shouldnt shy away from rascism or racist jokes ... we need to get past the whole ordeal and feel comfortable to talk about race without anger... nice point.

A joke is a joke, but only if it's stated around people who aren't insulted by it. If they are can u blame them?

Humor is one thing, but you have to realize it can piss people off, and be deemed racism.

Like this joke:

"Obama wants to tax Asprin. Because it is white and works."

I admit that it was funny, even if it is completely untrue.

There is obvious racist undertones to it.


And the southern republican that said it in his speech opens himself up to being deemed a racist.

I'm really not sure. Have you tried telling it to a black dude so that you can both have a good laugh?

I haven't had the opportunity, yet...

You don't know any black people do you? LOL

Blacks have a sense of humor just like anyone else, and can be thin skinned like anyone else, but it's not the leftists elite's job to stick up for blacks. That's an insult; To think blacks can't stick up for themselves, in itself is racist.

When the government gives blacks special privileges they are actually being racist. There are many examples successful blacks, who didn't need any handouts from anyone, getting where they did. there are too many famous black names to mention.

and when you encourage people to take handouts, you are actually keeping them down, by making them reliant upon someone else.

I think this joke would be funnier if Obama was going to levy a special tax on aspirin, but only in the south lol

This is actually one of those things that gets to me.

I have a friend who is a good guy, and really doesn't want to be racist, but inside I know he is. He will say a sentence akin to: "I know a lot of white people at the gym, and a lot of blacks too."

I hate when people always put people after whites, but don't after black.

It's more acceptable for whites to be prejudice out of fear than pride. It's alot more acceptable for blacks to have racist views and enterprises. Black Pride Parades, Black Entertainment Television (BET), "Ebony" magazine, ect-ect. Can you imagine the reaction to a "Ivory" magazine, White Entertainment Television (WET)
Really poor analogy there, bub. BET and Ebony were started because there were no other media outlets catering to a black audience, which was largely ignored by popular media. I'm old enough to remember a time when MTV never showed minorities. There was such a thing as "WET" at one point, only it was called television. Even to this day, there aren't many shows featuring predominantly non-white casts. We've come a long way to be sure, though.

I read a book called "A People's History of the United States" By Howard Zinn. This book suggests that naturally, human beings are not predisposed to racism. Racism in America is a result of the segregation that was created by the wealthy to keep the different classes divided to prevent uprising in colonial times. Black slaves, indentured servants, freemen, natives, women, and non-landowning freemen could shift the balance of power if they were to all stand together against the minority elite. Their rights were intentionally engineered specifically to highlight their differences. Later, we caste gay and lesbians, preps, jocks, geeks, whatever. Just give one group rights that the other groups don't have. Eventually, you get prejudice. Add color to it, and you have racism. I am not saying it doesn't exist, it certainly does. But it never had to exist in the first place. We cannot stand together if we are all divided.

I be wary of believing everything that you read, especially in a book that incorporates "Peoples' " into the title.

I mean, trusting a book like that is like believing that the Peoples' Republic of China (Red China) is really controlled by the citizenry instead of the Communist Elite.

As a wee lil' jewjewboy I have been taught from birth that I will be hated, persecuted whatever, by some, and loved by many. By that burned into my youth I'm actually almost trained to take your weak insults and pay them no attention and laugh with ya because it's possible you as yourself don't even know why you do it.

I'm sure that is a sound piece of advice, although I'm not sure that is really what is going on here. I don't recall ever noticing the difference between my black schoolmates and I until I first noticed the way "my kind" reacted to "them." I believe that racism only exists in the weak minds of suckers who do not realize that they are more than just the things that make them different. There it is.

I had someone tell me the other day that denying that you are racist is proof that you are.

Yeah, people who use denial as an indicator are usually the same people who are too chickenshit to commit to stand on one side or the other. They are content hiding behind a vague statement that has no foundation on fact. Kind of like "opposite day" or crossing your fingers behind your back. But by the time they are done talking, they leave you without having said anything at all.
