Because white people are in no position to get tetchy about a joke or two at their expense after centuries of slavery and similar atrocities.
We'll deal with it until your conscience is cleansed.

Anyway, most of those jokes and digs tend to be hilarious.

Not only that, but it's kind of hard to insult a white person... what are you going to call us really that would hurt? The only thing I can think of is "White Trash" and even then that's more a lifestyle/environment thing than a color thing.

I don't think you could sling any insult at me for being White / Scottish that I would actually take offense to.... so it's 'ok' because most whites don't really get upset about it.

Depends what you mean by black racism. If you're talking about comedians going with the whole "white men can't dance/jump/rap" angle, then I can't agree with you (Especially as a fan of racially charged humor). If you're talking about black people being able to use the word "******", then we're on a middle ground, since I am of the opinion that no word should ever be taboo.

If, however you are referring to radical black nationalists like Khalid Mohammed or the Nation of Islam, I do agree that they are indeed racist but don't get as much flak from the mainstream media because of the history of their people and the chance that those who call out the racism of sucj groups might be called a racist in retaliation (especially if white).

So yeah, it's plenty fucked up.

Whats rediculous is when the whole slavery thing (which i do hold as the greatest crime ever commited between to groups of people ) is held up today.

I personally have never owned a slave or opressed anyone in my life and i really do not appriciate someone saying "Do you know what my people have suffered through at your hands?" (something thats actually happened to me...)

Racism is a horrible crime and should be punished...what we define as racism via PC today however is absurd...

EDIT: forgot to quote guy two posts up. Totally agree comedians doing it as a joke is fine and laughing at yourself is what makes us human the welsh deal with alot of sheepshagger jokes and some of them are pretty darn good:p (the jokes not the sheep)

The funny thing is that at the time many fellow Africans helpt the white man round up slaves for Europe and America. In the end I do look upon other races as different, but we're all human beings and we all have the same worth.

Interesting...

Multiple things which haven't been mentioned, but if we're disussing race and racism issues the whole picture is probably necessary. For example, a white man calls a black man subhuman because of the colour of his skin. This is racist. A black man calls a white man subhuman because of the colour of his kin. This is racist. A black man calls another black man subhuman because his skin isn't quite as dark as his. In Malawui, there are crimes we would class as being race crimes between two people from different ancestral tribes, based on skin colour and geographic location. It's racism, but not as we know it.

Also, would everybody stop saying 'we'. I have never once been involved in the owning of slaves, the subjugation of anyone of another skin colour, and I find it ridiculous and insulting to even suggest this to me. By even saying 'we white people need to accept our history of racism' lowers the argument to an unarguable basis. My history does not involve racism. My ancestors' history may or may not (I honestly don't know), but mine doesn't. I don't even see why I have to acknowledge my ancestor's history; as has been said before, I wasn't there.

I don't know about you but this kind of racism against white people I take fucking seriously, even if there's almost no chance of these dudes bringing their plans into being it's still worrying.

Worrying and hilarious, but still worrying.

I think we may have gotten a wee bit carried away with it in the past, if you know what I mean.
Yeah pretty much the last 400 years have been pro whitey, I can take a few words
First I would like to congragulate the rest of the world for catching up. Kinda sad how allot of us had to feel bad and give a bunch of hadouts to make that happen. But atleast now we are on equal ground.

The REAL (read: academic) definition of racism is "A system of advantage based on race favoring whites, and simultaneously disadvantaging minorities." (My wording). Perhaps in some countries you can switch around the races, but not in America. And if you follow this definition, it is impossible to be truly racist against white people, because racism works in their favor. Of course, the definition we most often see is personal racism, where a person or group engages in "racist" behavior. As the academics argue, if there was only this personal racism, then it would have died out already because society has realized that it's wrong. But there's still a system of advantage based on race.

Because there's history to remember. We treated black people like shit, so we should feel ashamed to do it now that we've changed our ways. Anything they do is just fair play, within reason of course.
Slavery and segregation is yesterday's news. It's time to move on. Have you ever noticed that even though black people in the US still complain about ancient history, countries that fought each other in one or two World Wars have essentially forgotten about the whole thing?

Accusing a black person of being racist to a white person is like accusing a 1940's jew of being a nazi hater, though that metaphor might be a bit strong...
A bit strong? Try "batshit crazy" instead.
Ok, hoopyfrood, you need to drop this vendetta against me. At first, I could handle the arguments, because they had context. But now you're just contradicting everything I say! I offered a logical opinion, and you just threw it in my face. I admitted that my metaphor was too strong for the specific reason that people wouldn't quote me on it, yet you're just jumping on the opportunity to belittle my argument at every turn! It needs to stop before the mods get involved.

im not racist at all and i think none should be judged by color. with that out of the way i want to ask something.

why is it a big deal if a white man is racist to a black man

but if a black man is racist to a white man its like "who gives a shit"

Because the only race that is discriminated agaist is the whites. Blacks have rap and the "I'm soo cool you trip nigga" attitude. The Yellows have Manga and Rapelay. And The Pink have Indi.. er, I mean Native American Casinos.

whites as a race and more specifically American's have become an easy scapegoat because of the actions of our ancestors. In the past things have happened that aren't the best, we need to drop the past,but not repeat it if we want to move on.


Also I find most white guy jokes funny and go out of my way to call other white guys like myself crackers,along with myself.

Well considering whites were racist towards:

Blacks
Asians
Latinos
Middle easterners
Hindus
Jews
and even their own women.

And whites should TOTALLY be punished for the decisions of their ancestors. Because, you know, we totally agree with what they did.. And hell, we were there. Unborn, of course, but we were there being racist too. So its totally justified.

Forget the fact that most of us are NOT racist, we should still be punished for something we didnt do. :)
And yet because of the racism back then there still are socioeconomic effects to this day plaguing a lot of minorities. But forget about all that whites will soon be the minority in 2042.

But does that justify racism today? I don't think anything can justify intentionally putting someone else down.
