So, how long do we have to wait until racist & gay jokes are funny again?

No, not the "White power" "Black Power" "I hate people from Canada because they smell" ignorant crap, but the good ol' Archie Bunker jabs that used to crack everyone up.

Me, as a black fellow, I'm not offended what-so-ever over racist jokes, in fact, I'm a million times more offended by people who GET offended at off color jokes. People who whine and moan about all that bullshit seriously offends me.

So, when will this politically correct, censorship crap end and let us emotionally stable humans have a little fun at each other's expense?

Oh, for those who were going to say "They were never funny in the first place..I'm calling PETA...wait, NAACP? Hmm..well, I'm writing a letter to somebody!", or "How long do we have to wait before -insert bad comeback here-" joke, well, you suck and you suck hard.

Bigotry in small doses is hilarious, so why can't we all join the fun, dammit?

You should watch It's Always Sunny In Philldelphia, great show, makes fun of pretty much every PC topic out there.

I like a good racist or gay joke once in a while.

Then again I am white and straight, why shouldn't I.

im never really offended by any type of joke, however depending on who is telling them, i may find them to be offensive people.

like, if a friend tells a black, italian, jew etc. joke i tend to laugh.
if some backwoods fascist ****tard tells the same joke, with their own creepiness
and obvious motive/fear for telling such jokes coming through as they tell it, it would override the funniness...if that makes sense

I get what you're saying but people can interpret that as, you're only allowed to say a joke about something if you're that something.

i guess they could interpret it as that if they didnt bother reading what i said, or drew their own conclusions based on nothing.

I'm ok with jokes and I don't think they should be limited to people of that race either. People who take offense to it are just coming up with another way to hate people instead of having fun with the difference people share.

i dont think they should be limited to race either. i just dont like hearing them from racists.

So should jokes about chicks with cellulite only be told by those carrying it around with them?

i just dont want to hear a black joke from david duke, ok?

i mean there's a difference between:

"a black guy walks into a bar..."

and

"a dirty n****r walks into a bar..."

Actually, I didn't mean that as a counter-response to your post. I was just saying that in general.

Jokes about bald guys, chicks with pot bellies, chicks with cellulite, smelly people, people with buck-teeth, hunchbacks, chicks with a size 30 chest, guys with a cocktail weiner down below, chicks with moustaches, guys who can't grow a beard, people with a bump on their nose, chicks with veins showing in their legs....there are jokes about them all, and should they only be told by people who possess those qualities? Would they even want to? Does anyone see my point here?

oh hell no. anyone should tell whatever joke they please (at their own risk)

hey, remember this?

Q: what does every racist joke begin?

A: *looks over both shoulders*

Wouldn't it be "how"?

Yeah it does. This might sound funny but a person could tell a racist joke but hes not really racist, he is just being provocative, while other people are geinunely racist and xenophobic.

While I see what you're getting at, that is also a problem.

Mostly because if you call yourself something, you need to expect for others to call you that.
Of couse, I undestand you mean racist motivated jokes....im just saying.

Same, I tell and hear racists and gay and whatever jokes all the time...

They are jokes after all

It basically depends on the context, is the person telling the joke purely to try and offend people or simply because it's funny?

The first statement is definitely true. But your second statement is a flat out lie, meaning not the white part.
