Time for everybody to grow thicker skins.
Now what will happen? he 'offended guy' will lodge a complaint with the school and the 'racist pig' will get expelled. If he wants to go all the way, the OG could call the cops and have the RP arrested for 'hate crimes' Sheesh!

I didn't think it was funny. If it was, it wouldn't be racist. Since it wasn't, yes it was racist.

Wasn't funny at all. It doesn't even make sense unless you inject a racial stereotype into it. So the black kid, although he over reacted responding to an idiot, had a point.

As for the contention that somehow because we have a black president all racism has ceased is preposterous. Last I checked the hate groups in America and all their secret members didn't disband once Obama got elected. In fact his election has probably help increase membership.

I think I've actually heard Chris Rock tell a variation of that joke.

Why does racism get so much traction? After all, think about it. What is racism? A small subset of discrimination. In discrimination, we have age, sex, weight, religion, clothes, education, etc, etc. Why is it my looking down on fat people, ugly people, white trash people, etc, etc seem more benign than me looking down on you because you are black, asian, mexican, etc, etc? What's the difference? Isn't discrimination discrimination? If I look down on you because you are poor or driving a beater car, etc, etc, how is that better than me looking down on black people, white people, green people, etc, etc?

Agreed.

Jokes are especially funny when there's a slant of truth in them...and that's why the black guy got offended...as long as the issue is kept within the black culture (like the use of the "N" word), it's alright, but if someone outside of the circle makes light of it, then it's offensive!

Sorry...I would have laughed too.

But we got the white keepers of the flame saying its racist, G-Benz, yet you don't seem offended. I'm so confused
