I don't get easily offended so as far as black commedians (for example) and their jokes about white people go...that's fine. But I think the key to that example and some others is that it's all personal preferance.
I'm going to step outside the race barrier for a second and take you to the male/female barriers. I had a boss say a bunch of lewd comments and to some females that may not be offensive, whereas to me, they were.
Similarly some things that black people do or say may or may not be offensive to the individual...and vice versa.

I really wish people wouldn't clump each other by race, because aren't we all individuals with individual thoughts, ideas, and feelings?

And as to the start of this thread I have no idea who disagrees or agrees with PM_Mama or what that has to do with anything...I'm just throwing in my two cents (which probably didn't make sence to begin with).

Much love,
Hootie
