Is it racist to laugh at jokes on race and stereotypes?

[Anonymous]

I find stereotypical jokes and jokes on race funny. Does that makes me a racist?

Let me ask you a question: why did The Jeffersons last as long as it did? People used to be able to laugh, not only at themselves but at AN EFFING JOKE. That ability seems to be disappearing as time goes on and each successive generation is born with thinner skin of any type. Why can’t the current generation laugh at itself or really anything else for that matter? I think redneck stereotypes are hilarious, bring it Larry the Cable Guy, and Jeff Foxworthy and Buddy Brown. When Chappelle first blew up in popularity, I thought he was hilarious too, the white jokes included. Because he’s legitimately funny.

No. By laughing at jokes like that, you are acknowledging the absurdity of racism.

That's the point!

Who cares? If someone makes a joke and its funny I'm gonna laugh. If someone gets angry at someone for laughing at a joke they can talk that out with a therapest. That's not my problem. Stop caring about what people think. Jokes are made to be funny.

Thank you for MHO:)

No as different people find different things funny. Not all jokes are funny to all people.

If you’re white, definitely. Racism is a crime, and crime is for black people.

some of these jokes are actually funny and it would not be racist to laugh/

[Anonymous]

Only if theyvare about white people. That would be extremely racist. Otherwise, nope.

[BeMuse]
