This thread's racist!

[Galletea]

Man, I shouldn't click on these threads. That's like an hour of my life I was going to devote to boring, yet productive things. Now I'm humming Guile's theme, wanting a bacon sancwich, and being angry at the dude who thinks he can speak on behalf of everyone that's had a racist experience ever.
Thanks bro.

I'm sorry.

I'll be sure to make a terribly boring thread next time, just for you

Dude, that's racist.

This thread is being derailed into super serial territory!

Don't worry.
Daystar has the ability to rerail, as well as derail.

white people

Haha!

Yeah... we're the worst dancers ever...

I dunno. Michael Jackson did some of his best dancing as a white guy.

Becoming an auton doesn't count.

One of my close friends and I used to teasingly call each other racial slurs all the time. It got to the point where we sort of forgot that the majority of people get offended by shit like that. Protip, children: shouting "Get over here, you dumb dago" in a crowded classroom? It will cause shit to get real.

I just have one request for any white people on this thread. Joking about racism is fine, and yes to an extent the right thing to do. I've had friends with whom I used to trade racial jokes with and it's fine, actually kind of fun, but a few times it got annoying because it felt like that was the only way some people could interact with me. I had a few friends with whom every other word out of their mouth was some kind of racial joke, and sometimes I just wondered if that's all I was to them, their "black" friend, and if that's why they had to keep that at the forfront of our relationship. I've kept in touch with some of these people but their not really close friends because I don't like the feeling of maybe oneday going to them for moral support and having one of them say " What's the matter? Has the man got you down?". I'm not saying any of you caucasians here do that, and if your friends don't mind than who am I to tell you to stop, but just consider what I'm saying. I personally really prefer to be thought of as a friend to a person, and not a "black" friend.

I can only think of an old one that's probably been posted already, but oh well.

"Man, we should stop with these racism jokes."

"Yes, racism is a crime, and crimes are for niggers."

Captcha: i'm sorry

Fitting I guess.

This thread needs a heaping helping of:

Turns black people from terrifying, to overwhelmingly attractive.

Seems legit

 

[Glorious manwhore]

I'm not a racist.
Racism is a crime and crimes are for black people!

Racism is still a problem today, much to my disappointed.

But this thread isn't about how much racism sucks. Oh no, this is thread about how potentially hilarious the subject of racism can be.

That is to say, how funny it is to mock racism, because as we all know, the more you laugh at something, the less power it has.


So please, share your tales of racism based hilarity, whether it's because they're facepalmingly (totally a word) bad, or because they're genuinely funny.

And please, let's keep this classy

There's a difference between mocking racists and the entire concept, and making light of the real problem that racism presents. This video is definitely in the latter camp. Still funny though.

Surely the video is in the former?

I mean, there are genuinely people with a persecution complex so ridiculous that they think that everything bad that comes their way is a product of racism.

I'm with Chris Rock on the issue of race.

I don't give two shits about the colour of someone's skin or where they came from. But I give 7 entire shits about their culture... Culture is a problem...

Actually, as part of my college education, I was required to attain a qualification called "Equality and Diversity", a large part of which was racism in society. Racism being the prejudiced treatment or generalizing characteristics of someone based on their race. While slave trading by white society was one of the original and worst offenders, that doesn't exclude white people from being on the receiving end of racism. Racism isn't exclusively prejudice backed by power. That's subjugation, with racial motives. That in itself is not exclusive to white people either. For an example, watch that film where Samuel L Jackson plays a cop living next door to the protagonist. That's racial subjugation through use of power in which the subjugator is a black man.

And race is biological. Ergo a child's race depends on the race(s) of his parents. That isn't any reason to treat said person any differently, but that does not mean the concept of race doesn't exist.

Wow, you have a qualification, that's pretty neat. "Race" is a concept that does not apply to whites. It is not biological. It is the arbitrary grouping of biological characteristics intended to describe a group of people in order to justify their subjugation. White people don't have a "race" other than one they have defined FOR THEMSELVES. Samuel L Jackson's character (ha ha) had individual power, but not the power of society and a history of 400 years of slavery lifting him up over his white neighbor.

Here's a simple example: it took black people 600 years and 18 MAJOR Supreme Court decisions until institutionalized racism was dismantled in the U.S. It took one white man (Alan Bakke) 2 years and one Supreme Court case to end racial quotas at public universities. If you call both obstacles these people faced "racism," meaning prejudice + power, you are quite obviously mistaken.

Splitting people into races isn't "races", it's merely categorization of people for convenience. People from Africa are "Africans", not racist, simply a denomination.
