Amazing, some tolerance for once.

Mississippi (and other areas) were overtly racist. In the 80's we had a military exercise in Mississippi, a group went to a bar with a black officer, the bouncer looked at him saying "Your kind ain't allowed in here."

So here is a racial joke:

Camp Shelby Mississippi is used by multiple states as a training base. The guard at gate saw a convoy driving up after dark, he stood up with his hand out saying: "Halt, who goes there?"

The reply came "Alabama National Guard", the gate guard said "Alabama National Guard come on thru."

An hour later another convoy arrived where the guard again stood up with his hand out saying: "Halt, who goes there?"

The reply came "Louisiana National Guard", the gate guard said "Louisiana National Guard come on thru."

A short time later a third convoy arrived where the guard again stood up with his hand out saying: "Halt, who goes there?"

The reply came "N@@@@@, get out of the way!", the gate guard responded "Mississippi National Guard come on thru."

There is a perfectly square room. In the center of the room is a $100 bill. In one corner is Santa Claus. In another corner is the Easter Bunny. In another corner is an honest, hard-working member of BLM. In the final corner there is a typical member of BLM.

If they all start toward the center at the same time who gets the $100 bill?

There’s a headline I never thought I’d see.

I will respond by making a liberal California joke:

How many liberal Californians does it take to screw in a light bulb?

5

1 to screw in the light bulb

4 to “share the experience”

Substitute any liberal area for “California”

I am of Polish decent have always laughed with others at a good Polish joke.
Some are bad and just plain mean but I don’t condemn those with a fine sense of humor. I have a thick enough skin.
I’m not one to throw the baby out with the bath water.

As an aside I do remember when Roe vs. Wade was being adjudicated in the Supreme Court there were a slew of “Dead Baby Jokes” that was popular to desensitize the horrors of killing of babies.

Humor can be manipulated and weaponized. Fortunately liberals and progressives have no sense of humor because they take everything seriously.

Reminds me of where a friend had a house fix issue and a black guy was helping. After many workarounds they got it working. The black guy stepped back and said “That is some awesome Afro Engineering”.

I smile whenever I think of that, great when people can make fun of themselves.

Life is a whole lot more enjoyable if you have a sense of humor. That’s why these NeoPuritans go around so sour and joyless all the time. They have no sense of humor.

I wasn’t going to stop telling racial jokes with or without a black man’s imprimatur.

Now hit my hand with that shovel.

I’m a white man and I have to issues with black jokes either !!! You can call that racist but I have no issues with white jokes, asian jokes, gender jokes or any jokes.

It’s a joke not an insult and if you’re offended then you’re the problem.

As they say F’ your feelings.

A bit o/t, but how about a shout out for an Army 2nd Lieutenant on an Air Force Base? I sure heard my fair share of jokes, and had to deal with senior AF NCOs that didn’t want to salute me, in front of my battery’s barracks. With my soldiers watching me, I had to pull out the old “salute the rank, not the man.”

Unless you’re a pilot, lieutenants are supposed to be barely seen, and certainly not heard.

Apologies for going off script, though for two years, I was one of the Army’s most dangerous weapons: a 2nd Lieutenant with a map! lol

Everyone has something they find offensive.

Everyone has the right to be offended.

Everyone has the right to say "that is offensive to me".

You do not have the right to try to hurt the other person because you find something they say offensive.

You have the right to walk away, you have the right to decide you will not give someone your money, you have the right to ask the other person not to say something. But if they tell you to F- Off you have to walk away.

And for the love of mike do not try to force them to apologize. A forced apology is a lie and goodness knows we have enough lies floating around all ready.

I’ve worked in factories for 45 years, in manufacturing and quality engineering. Back when I started, the factory floor was no holds barred, nothing out of bounds. Race, religion, ethnic origin, sex, family, physical features, handicaps, etc. were all fair game. Nobody took offense - we just tried to come up with a better insult the next time. We all went to the same bars after work and got along. It was a much healthier environment than we have today.
