Where is the line between what is appropriate to make jokes about and what isn't?

Or do you feel there is no line, and humor should encapsulate very subject? Is nothing inappropriate to joke about? :ehh:

Tough call. No matter what you say someone will be offended.

I often get uncomfortable when certain jokes about racial or gender specific stereotypes are made. Black comedians sometimes get reckless with it and it's no big deal. White comedian are more cautious but some of them still try to push the envelope more and more. But then when they do i wanna get offended but feel guilty that i laugh hard at jokes black comedians make about whites that are equally if not more offensive.

It's a lose lose situation IMO

Its a lot of factors breh:patrice:...I hate to say anything is off limits cuz sometimes it can just be "too soon" to joke about sumthing,but as time passes it will be funny as shyt....also shyt that I think might be funny when im not personally involved wont be funny if its directed at me,like jokes about my dead family members:wtb:...but jokes about other dead people might be okay if its funny:manny:...depending on your color you would have to be a professional comedian most likely for me to laugh at the race jokes of a white man:wtb:....so if you a regular pedestrian you probably need to chill:comeon:


and oh yeah,mama jokes gon too far?

Anything is fair game as long as it's meant in a joking manner, but there are certain subjects you should avoid with certain people.
