On a related note, I have yet to meet a person who is racist who is actually intelligent. And it’s certainly not a bias of perspective, meaning…I will know a person for some time before it’s revealed to me they are racist and they are the dumb ones.

Have you ever interacted with different ethnics living in the same country that is not USA? Russians with locals in former USSR, Serbians, Bosnians, Croatians, Albanians, etc. in former Yugoslavian republics? Gypsies around Europe?
Wow. This isn’t my argument, but I do have to say that “racist” jokes are funny. It’s part of embracing the differences in race and culture. Your first hint is that it’s a joke. There’s nothing wrong with that. It is wrong to treat race as some sort of taboo subject. It’s ok to talk and joke about it. Without humor, what is there? Hell, my black friends and family tell me more “racist” jokes than I ever knew. They get it. I get it. If you don’t, I’m sorry you lack a sense of humor. [/quote]
Good on your black friends. I applaud their sense of humour. And I’m not sorry I’m not like them. Black people who make racist jokes make me sick. The same with those who love to use the N word, apparently trying to claim the word back or some shitty reason like that.
And good on you for finding most of the stuff posted on here as a ‘joke’ funny. My apologies in advance if you didn’t. I didn’t look at some stuff and others make me laugh. So yeah, it all depends on the content.
And what’s funny I always hear this kinda shit from the white people, ‘my black friend joke about racist stuff all the time, my black friend is okay with it.’ Yeah, cool. If you say so.
But I’m not one of them.
But seriously, is there still a need for ‘‘racist’’ jokes? There are other ways of embracing races and cultures than ‘pleasantly mocking’ one race or another.
Edevus please educate me as an American in Texas. You are Russian correct? This is a broad question, do the Russians hate the blacks, hispanics, muslims and if so who is the most hated?

No, I’m Spanish living in Estonia, so I can tell you that most Estonians don’t like Russians. Most Estonian Russians don’t like Estonia and cry racism. It’s a mutual feeling.

Whats the general feeling towards African Americans in Europe?

There aren’t many African Americans in Spain. Most black people we got here are from Africa. In Spain there’s quite many and while people still joke a bit around and especially old people are bit defensive, they are respected because most of them try to work within the law (we can’t say the same about some others).
In Estonia there aren’t many at all, so I really don’t know how people react to them.

Poor people, followed by the ignorant.
And before your trolling ass tries to twist what I’m saying, I’ve lived in poor white communities and poor “ethnic” communities were I was one of like 4 white people in a square mile.
People are people. No one wants to accept their fate, their own doing. People look to blame others for everything. White, black and everything in between, it is an American issue, rather an economic issue, not a skin color one.
But, You don’t sound like the type that will understand what I’m trying to say, because your just here to put down certain races and cry “poor me” about a double standard.
Me a troll please counting beans, Im not the one with over 10000 post here. And you where one of 4 in ethnic community, guess what bitch so was I!
Poor people are not dumb just poor you fool. Ignorant well you sound like one. Where the fuck am I crying about a fucking double standard bitch? Where? I oppose that shit. I dont put down certain races never have my friend. When have I blamed anyone you idiot when?
Sounds to me like its your time of the month.
To me its not an economic issue thats just a fucking excuse to get away with it. Guess what Ive been there done that. Oh poor me…sniffles
The irony in this thread is so thick that you can cut it with a knife.
Pro Tip: if you’re going to rail against racism, be sure not to make sweeping generalizations about things that “white people do all the time” that piss you off. Hypocrisy looks pretty bad with any skin tone.

Stronghold I agree with this, its the old saying that only white people are racist and that bothers me to no end.
In this day I tend to belief that minorities are more racist.

I doubt most black people today give a shit about you or your color. My question is, what the fuck have YOU as an individual accomplished in life that puts you above ANYONE else on any social level?
You are the one continually asking “who keeps it alive”…as you keep it alive. Your accusations are hilarious in that you really believe you can rant this much about another race but not be seen as racist by doing so.
This thread is a hoot. It will play out like all others.
You are about as fresh and original as 8 track tapes.
What have I accomplished well that’s not the point my brother from another mother. What the hell gives those who spout the race card that special right? Nothing since we are the same my friend.
Im keeping it alive to make the point my fellow American not to blame others. Am I racist no as I do not judge people by skin color. And well since Im a minority don’t I get the privilege to use it? Right?
You remind me of some of my co-workers who insist that Rush Limbaugh and the Republican party is racist. Even though they do not know anything except what others tell them. Not saying your dumb.
Also my point is that you and me know fucking well that our peeps use the race card often to gain the advantage in a situation. So please take off your blinders my friend. That is the point.
