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.

You are not the mouthpiece for the caucasian race so as long as you realize that jokes don't bother YOU and others can be bothered, fine.
No joke bothers me as long as the intent isn't malevolent.
