Adrestia Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 [quote name='dUSt' timestamp='1296155495' post='2205135'] Oh, if you're black, then it's not racist. It's funny! But funny in a way where I cannot laugh, but you can. Being black is amesome because you get to laugh at more jokes! [/quote] Did you skip my previous post? They weren't jokes. They're not funny. "Racist" is a matter of perspective - neither of the white men who made those statements to me intended to be hurtful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But black jokes told by black people are funny. Not to me of course. I don't think they are funny. But my black friends tell me they are, and I agree with them about them thinking they are funny.

Lilllabettt Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 you know there was some dude on ebay renting himself out as a "black friend." Like if you made some racist statement at work and you need to prove to your boss/co-workers that you are not racist, you can hire this dude to be your "black friend" for a day and he will come and hang with you and allow you to prove your colorblindness.

fides' Jack Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 We live in a very white and latino part of the country, so I haven't known too many black people. I have known a few Halfrican Americans, though, and they're solid. What I have seen of black people, I like - except for rap and hip-hop (especially Catholic hip-hop). I don't know how those music forms originated (I'll just ask my wife), but they seem to me to be predominantly culturally black now. Anyway, yeah. I can't stand rap and hip-hop. I'm here for the discussions on schismatic sects. (sorry - had to) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
