The fact is black in that joke is a useless adjective.


If people don't like some of the things I say that's their problem.
Apparently it DOES bother you or you wouldn't be acting like such a drama queen by complaining about it. All you are doing is proving the OP's post.

As a latino male, I find jokes about my race hilarious. Why?....because most of them are stereotypical jokes that are true! LOL Same goes for many other races but blacks seem to take offense about jokes against them. UNLESS it's coming from a fellow black!

People nowadays take every little thing waaaaay to seriously!

Social media and the ability for everybody to have a written response on view is more often taken advantage of by those who want to dictate what is socially acceptable these days.

This thread is a pretty good example.

Hide his welfare check under his work boots!
Much funnier with BLACK added! Does that make me 'racist'? I DON'T GIVE A DAM! See, the word racist no longer means anything to me. It has been so overused and abused by liberals, media and groups like BLM and NAACP, that it has lost it's power. Call me racist? You may as well call me Buddy. It's just a word.

There is so much fear of causing an emotional trigger, we can no longer joke around and laugh, without our virtue being checked.

What the hell happened to this nation, where all these hurt feelings are triggered by trying to get a laugh.
All this social justice warriors, are humorless. There chit is funny, but no one else can get hateful to make a joke but them in a one sided laughfest.

People and especially comedians are walking on eggshells. George Carlin is friggin saying I told you so.

social justice moneymakers get hired to go around corporations whose business involves federal agencies, like pharma, and demand ZERO TOLERANCE of any jokes that guys might share with each other, etc.


their fear is the slippery slope, if you say something negative it will lead to more negativity and before you know it, telling an off color joke will make you a rapist.


Same theory as pot being a gateway drug.


Of course zero tolerance is simply a factory built to manufacture enemies where there are none. It defies human nature and sets a goal no one can honestly reach.


It goes hand in hand that you can;t be offeneded unles someone teaches you haow to be offended. Just like teaching a kid to be repulsed by spiders, learned behavior, instiututionally taught.

Exactly.

It is like the "n" word. Some blacks even use it in music. It is a word often heard coming from blacks. But heaven forbid a Latin, Asian or the evil white person uses it and it becomes the biggest issue known to the USA today.

Believe it or not, there used to be comedians know as insult comics. Don Rickels, for one, made a lot of money insulting every nationality and religion.

P.S. George Carlin is dead.
