Racist humour can be funny though.
Chris Rock is proper racist at times but it's funny IMO.

One of the biggest problems with all this political correctness bullshit is that some people take themselves far too seriously nowadays. We have forgotten how to laugh at ourselves. Every time there is a tragedy, somebody somewhere will come up with a joke about it. It doesn't mean we feel any less for the people involved in the tragedy.

Tinned Toms - You know it makes sense!
That's not what I said at all is it 74. What I said is that I you are going to be offended by a joke about black people because it's racist why then are you not offended by jokes about any other race. Everyone, not just black people can think something is racist so why not kick up a fuss about the Irish, Chinese etc.bwfc1874 wrote:Mr Magoo wrote:If a joke is funny, I do not give a shit who its about.
I agree.
But this thread is more about 58 thinking only black people are allowed to think things are racist.
Which is complete bollocks.

You seem to be mixing up race and colour.

Fine, but you can see why I interpreted the way I did -
bwfc1958 wrote:I will say it again. WHY IS IT OK TO BE RACIST TO EVERYONE IN THE WORLD EXCEPT BLACK PEOPLE?
I've no idea what your joke was, I doubt I'd have been offended by it. But it's not up to you what other people do find offensive.
As for the Chinese and Irish point you keep mentioning, I don't think it's true. If you make a racist joke about white, asian or black people you'd find people get offended. So it's just a load of bollocks to say they're not approached in the same way.

Charlie Williams never seemed to bother about his colour, but that was 30 years ago as well.
Feel free to change it brummie boy if that doesn't suit the PC mindset.

Certainly the second one you wouldn't!!
He was before your time, and dare I say it, highly amusing?

Maybe, but the fact remains non-white people have been persecuted for centuries and seen as inferior to white people. I'm guessing as a white male you have no experience of racism aimed at you.
Perhaps if people had been calling you "nigger" or "paki" for 40 years you might take offence at a joke aimed at your race/colour.
