"Dealing with racist situations"

[EDIT]

Kids have the idea.

Really young ones.

They see another person, and what do they respond to? Kindness and a pleasant attitude/envrionment.

F**king people.

Racism makes me laugh. The fact that people can get so offended by something so trivial just displays how infantile the human race still is.

Children, who are not old enough yet to be self conscious, have no concept of racial prejudice, certainly not in the way small minded adults do. It is parents who force these corrupt values onto children.

"most of you know I'm black even though I've never told anyone I am"

that is the best statement ever.

it's very nice of your owners to let you play on the internet isn't it? ;P

A bit of 'run and gun' never hurt anyone.

Was a different time back then.

Although alot of racist things these days is used in humor and without meaning to offend, (stand up comics do it alot) and people take it that way.

But i think it's one of those things that isn't funny to some people, like joking about homosexuality.

I personally think it doesn't need to be said at all there is never really a need to bring race in to a conversation in a negative way.

was just watching "till death do us part" with alf garnett and some of the stuff he used to come up with are unbelievably racist!

like..."we done all dem coons a favour in africa! all they were doin were swingin around in the trees anyway"

And the audience cracks up listening to it!

Yeah, I think the jokes are funny too, as I actually can relate to some, or know someone who can, but any joke like that about a black guy said by someone white would result in the death penalty if it was still around.


If you've seen "Down To Earth" with Martin Lawrence where he's a white guy, and he makes a joke about how black men have their own shopping mall, and white people go to theirs. Everyone of course scowls at him, but it's true, and yet, everyone would be in hysterics if he was black (the entire point of the scene).

Anwyay, enough.

*Stuff*

Funniest programme ever.

EDIT-Fresh prince of bel air is what i was refering too due to the comment before the other posts. :)
