In the grand scheme of things this is an issue of white privilege and the reason many of the members of this board don't understand why a black person would get upset by the "Most Ghetto" award is an example of such. They have the privilege of opting out of any form of injustice or oppression that is perpetrated against any other non-white.

The reality is this: White people have privledge in the world. It's a fact we must all face. The sooner we all face it, the sooner we can fix the problem. For all those people complaining about Black comedians making racial jokes, I say get a clue. Have you even looked at the world around you?
Also, on joking: Listen, whoever said that thing about a Black comedian making Black jokes to a Black audience, you're on point about saying it's okay. I don't care if they make jokes about white people, at all, because being white, those jokes can bounce off your chest. As the one person said "the real joke is on you" or something. Because being white, you don't have to worry about that joke being a reality or a product of racial injustice towards you.
Everyone just needs to open up a little bit and see things from other people's perspectives. Then maybe we wouldn't have this damn thread.
