Go for it. See how it works out

You only talk about people of your own creed, otherwise you look like/are perceived to be 'insert word'-ist.

I think if you don't focus on only one race you're golden. However, if all your jokes are black, black, black or Asian, Asian, Asian, you're looking for trouble.

Simple - minority vs. majority. The protection of the minority against the majority is a founding principle of this country. James Madison wrote to that effect in the Federalist Papers.

It's a hypocritical society we live in. I've seen it done but it's definitely a thin line. Personally I don't give a fuck about offensive humor and stereotypes, but I understand how some people feel that such humor perpetuates a negative derogatory image etc.

So it's ok for such services as blackpeoplemeet.com, and to have black history month, but it's racist and evil to have a whitepeoplemeet.com or white history month. It's ok for black, Asian, and Mexican comedians to rip on whites all the time, but it's dangerous territory if it's a whitey on stage.

I've seen Tosh pull some pretty racy stuff and he seems to get away with it, but then again he's one of those comedians who hits everyone, even crippled folks. Nobody is off limits for that guy.

Tosh.O goes there quite a bit. One of my favorite lines of his is "It's funny because it's Racist!" lol.

He is Dave Chappelle's friend and will say some funny stuff.

He is nice and sincere on stage and never comes across as hateful.

That is the key...

Michael Richards (Kramer) was being hateful and that is why people were mad.

EDIT: yeah Tosh does it too.

Proud
to be White!
I have been wondering about why Whites are racists,
and no other race is......

Proud to be White

Michael Richards makes his point...
Michael Richards better known as Kramer
from TVs Seinfeld does make a good point.

This was his defense speech in court
after making racial comments in his comedy act.
He makes some very interesting points...

Someone finally said it.
How many are actually paying attention to this?

There are African Americans, Mexican Americans, Asian Americans,
Arab Americans, etc.
And then there are just Americans..
You pass me on the street and sneer in my direction.

You call me 'White boy,' 'Cracker,' 'Honkey,' 'Whitey,' 'Caveman'...
And that's OK...
But when I call you, ******, Kike, Towel head, Sand-******,
Camel Jockey, Beaner, Gook, or ***** ..
You call me a racist.

You say that whites commit a lot of violence against you....
So why are the ghettos the most dangerous places to live?

You have the United Negro College Fund.
You have Martin Luther King Day.
You have Black History Month.
You have Cesar Chavez Day.
You have Yom Hashoah.
You have Ma'uled Al-Nabi.
You have the NAACP.
You have BET....

If we had WET
(White Entertainment Television),
we'd be racists.

If we had a White Pride Day,
you would call us racists.

If we had White History Month,
we'd be racists.

If we had any organization for only whites to 'advance'
OUR lives, we'd be racists.

We have a Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, a Black Chamber of Commerce,
and then we just have the plain Chamber of Commerce.
Wonder who pays for that??

A white woman could not be in the Miss Black American pageant,
but any color can be in the Miss America pageant.
If we had a college fund that only gave white students scholarships...
You know we'd be racists.

There are over 60 openly proclaimed Black Colleges in the US ..
Yet if there were 'White colleges',
that would be a racist college.

In the Million Man March,
you believed that you were marching for your race and rights.
If we marched for our race and rights,
you would call us racists.

You are proud to be black, brown, yellow and orange,
and you're not afraid to announce it.
But when we announce our white pride,
you call us racists.

You rob us, car jack us, and shoot at us.
But,
when a white police officer shoots a black gang member
or beats up a black drug dealer running from the law
and posing a threat to society, you call him a racist.

I am proud......
But you call me a racist.

Why is it that only whites can be racists??

There is nothing improper about this e-mail..
Let's see which of you are proud enough to send it on.
I sadly don't think many will.

That's why we have LOST most of OUR RIGHTS
in this country.
We won't stand up for ourselves!

BE PROUD
TO BE WHITE!

It's not a crime YET....
But getting very close!

It is estimated that ONLY 5%
of those reaching this point in this e-mail,
will pass it on.

AMIWITE???? errr...RITE?
