"Behind every great black man....

[iamme]

......is the POLICE"

I heard this joke on a movie preview for "Undercover Brother". If I think the joke's funny, am I being racist?

i'm surprised no one has responded yet with: it isn't racist, cause it's true.

I guess I understand the "you can make fun of your own race" theory....but if you do, can I laugh too?

Its funny 🙂 who cares if its racist im sure most black people will laugh at it as long as you dont say it as an insult...

i don't know, i think the more politically incorrect the joke the funnier it is to me for the most part. most people probably feel the same way, otherwise we wouldn't see jokes like this and others. anyone see the MIB:2 trailer? "actually it used to come with a black guy, but he kept getting pulled over."

stereotypes are just easy to make fun of because almost everyone can relate or at least understand. i'm not discriminating at all, i just find those that get all uppity about this stuff need to chill.

I think it's pretty polically incorrect, but so is that movie... when does Undercover Cracker come out?

 

[melly]

i thought it would be, '...is a great *cough*' 😛

i'm mixed; i know i'd laugh at the joke if i was watching comic view on b.e.t. or some chris rock, etc.

 

[slikmunks]

hahaha, i just thought it was funny... my black friends thought it was pretty damn funny too

But see, if I were sitting next to a group of Black people in a theater when the quote came on, and I started laughing hysterically, wouldn't they get offended?

Of course not. They would take it as a compliment that you are seeing a black movie 😉 The harder you laugh, the better.

I remember going to the theatres to go see Kiss of the Dragon. When the scene of the huge black guy versus Jet Li came up, some black people were offended because the huge black guy got his ass whooped.
