I'm white, so I have no dog in this fight. If black people are offended by it :manny: it's a free country. Not that it means much but everyone I grew up with is black, and none of them seemed to care. Then again I'm not sure they even seen it.

All my boys got the joke. only on this site have i ever heard a brother have an issue with it. Is this the one place where everyone missed the joke?

hex has always been down :wow:

I mostly don't mention anything about my background in The Film Room because there's no context but I had guys in The Booth come at me on some "you never been around black people". I posted my high school pic and I'm literally the only white person in the picture. :dead:

I got what they were trying to do...bu this bullshyt about '' black ppl are offended by everything'' is stupid..lets not act like black face doesnt have a racist historical subtext...a movie like white girls being brought shows how little some of you know and your lack of historical perspective..

really?

fukk that's sad.
Whats even sadder is people in the thread not even knowing who george carlin is and others saying if he can do stand up anybody can and that bullshyt getting dapped up while anybody attempting to explain the routine gets called a c00n or cac.

Tlr is the woat section on this site easily.

Look I'm not going to say that racism isn't a serious issue but not everything is racism just like there are things that do need our attention when they're done. But like most things, CONTEXT is important. Same shyt we get on our parents about when it comes to hip hop. It's about context. I get why my mom wouldn't want to hear music with a guy calling a woman a bytch or cursing, or talking about drugs or whatever but there's context for it and a place of understanding
