As a black man I FIND IT ALL OFFENSIVE!!!

Just kidding.

It all depends on context. If it's supposed to be offensive then it is easily recognizable and I'll react accordingly, if it is all in humor then I'll laugh it off with the rest of my white friends. There are always those people who take things too far and push the boundries, and it's whatever. Interestingly enough, I've lived in the south all my life, and I've had very very few instances where I've felt really offended. All of my friends generally give me the whole " I've got a black joke for you, don't take it too seriously" thing before they say it.

By the whole react accordingly thing, I really mean I'll just shake my head and walk away. Rarely, if ever, do I let things get to me. It's just too easy for me to simply laugh it off and shrug at someone's own ignorance. Just like these boards. You just can't take shit too seriously, or you'll end up with a heartattack at the age of 30.

Me and my white power friends love our racist jokes. You should come to our meeting one day.....we just ask bring clean sheets, some sticks and a length of rope that can hold approx 200 pounds. (n/t)

Obviously you're a cult of hobos with large collections of belongings (n/t)

Baroness March 30, 2012 11:23AM

Depends who's saying it

Just curious, how much time have you spent in New England?

ExPaladin(VIP) March 29, 2012 10:05AM

I've never been to New England.

Batman March 29, 2012 10:47AM

I hate Kender, they're always getting into my stuff.

Wanderlust- March 29, 2012 11:28AM

Good for you, man. Seriously. Way too much shit out there and it's too easy to drown in it. (n/t)

TaterPig March 29, 2012 01:41AM

Especially when you fear water and can't swim. n/t

jalim March 29, 2012 01:57AM

You are on a roll today (n/t)

RobDarken March 29, 2012 03:05AM

Why do black people get all the fried chicken? It's not fair! We need to reclaim all greasy food! (n/t)

Quas March 29, 2012 04:26AM

I think they're funny and don't really give a rat's ass. (n/t)

TaterPig March 29, 2012 12:42AM

Everyone replying to this thread so far thinks that humor is okay, and yet

Stevers March 28, 2012 05:32PM

Weird. It's almost as if they have reasons for disliking you besides the racist "jokes". nt

Java March 29, 2012 02:08AM

No, that can't be. n/t

Stevers March 29, 2012 05:33AM

Hey, man, you poke the bear, you get the horns.

Wanderlust- March 28, 2012 06:00PM

I guess I'm a nowhere man :(((((((((((((((( . (n/t)

Matrik March 28, 2012 05:36PM

Eh your a puss

Quas March 28, 2012 05:28PM

Love me some Pole or Jew jokes...

Seilclavin March 28, 2012 05:27PM

What a coincidence! I like nigger jokes. My family and I are white, though. Is it still the same? (n/t)

TaterPig March 29, 2012 12:43AM

Racist humor is entertaining and there is nothing wrong with it

vortexmagus March 28, 2012 03:48PM

God became man, and making jokes about real people aren't funny.

legobelt March 28, 2012 06:48PM

lolled. NT

Batman March 28, 2012 04:20PM

Sacrilege is the keyword for checking it.

Engurd March 28, 2012 02:47PM

I find them absolutely hilarious.

Batman March 28, 2012 01:15PM

What the heck is a sop? n/t

Stevers March 28, 2012 01:17PM

Stevers On Porcupine

Matrik March 28, 2012 01:19PM

Dude you weren't supposed to tell him about my fetish. NT

Batman March 28, 2012 01:21PM

Depends on the joke and the situation.

DurNominator(VIP) March 28, 2012 12:36PM

I know you are but what am I (n/t)

Matrik March 28, 2012 12:45PM

You're a fat little gnome. (n/t)

DurNominator(VIP) March 30, 2012 07:04PM

Yo momma so fat I called her fat. (n/t)

Matrik March 28, 2012 12:44PM

You're so poor when yo momma stuck the key in the door to unlock it she killed 7 people sitting in the hallway. (n/t)

Matrik March 28, 2012 12:44PM

There are women, and asians, and even asian women that make women/asian jokes for precisely that reason, to ridicule sexism/racism. Usually under 40. (n/t)

Scrimbul March 28, 2012 12:12PM

Depends.

Death_Claw March 28, 2012 11:54AM

Exactly right

Coumidin March 28, 2012 01:44PM

Clearly the worst word is "Stevers" (n/t)

Matrik March 28, 2012 01:52PM

I don't think nigger is the worst word.

Batman March 28, 2012 01:45PM

I've already had enough of your truthiness for one day. (n/t)

Coumidin March 28, 2012 01:51PM

Re: I don't think nigger is the worst word.

Stevers March 28, 2012 01:46PM

Uggh, don't even type that word, seriously man, I'm getting sick. NT

Batman March 28, 2012 01:48PM

Always.

RobDarken March 28, 2012 11:12AM

Depends on the joke. If the punchline is a racist comment, not so much. If the joke itself is racist and funny, then yeah.

Sam March 28, 2012 11:10AM

There is nothing wrong with any sort of humor ever. Anyone who says differently takes their self too seriously. (n/t)

Matrik March 28, 2012 11:08AM

I think intent is important

Baroness March 29, 2012 03:11AM

Apparently, Kamchatka hates that movie...

Matrik March 29, 2012 06:05AM

I think that by Kamchatka you meant USA and by Korea you meant Equador.

DurNominator(VIP) March 29, 2012 06:36AM

I don't know if you guys are fucking around or not, but it happened in Kuwait.

wrathpuppet March 29, 2012 07:14AM

I certainly was fucking around

DurNominator(VIP) March 29, 2012 10:49AM

Yeah, this whole line of posts had me terribly confused... (n/t)

Coumidin March 29, 2012 08:26AM

At least I got the shooting part right. Even if it wasn't a bow. (n/t)

Matrik March 29, 2012 08:27AM

I wasn't fucking around. Heard on NPR, so guess I just misheard. (n/t)

Matrik March 29, 2012 07:18AM

I didn't. That actually happened. We do it to Equador too? (n/t)

Matrik March 29, 2012 07:11AM

It happened in Kuwait and the country conserned was Kazakhstan. (n/t)

DurNominator(VIP) March 29, 2012 10:50AM

So I'm 0 for 1000. Kamchatka! Play too much Risk. (n/t)

Matrik March 29, 2012 10:51AM

I don't mind the intent either way in humor, personally. Doesn't bug me a bit. NT

Batman March 29, 2012 03:20AM

I would

RobDarken March 29, 2012 03:37AM
