I agree with Ann.. It was a joke. A kind of a funny one as well.

No, we won’t get over “pretending to be offended” until the Left does.
Use their own weapons against them.

I couldn’t care less about Deniro’s comments, but I love it when lefties get hoisted on their own petard, with the same language they use against conservatives.

I guess that makes me a partisan

Whether or not it was a joke, whether or not it was funny, it was an attempt to marginalize whites. Wake up.

Replace “white” with “black” and ask again. I find it offensive in either case. The joke was meant to be offensive, otherwise it wouldn’t have been said.

What did you find funny about it? Please explain in detail because I don’t get it.

Hi Hildy,
Looks like you and I are alone here. Let’s go on record as saying that the joke wasn’t intended to demean white people in any way. What was funny about it (only slightly funny, IMO) was the use of irony. As Wiki puts it, “...a sharp incongruity or discordance that goes beyond the simple and evident intention of words...”

Kind of a shame to have to explain this.
