Jazmine Hughes is tired of people making jokes about white people. Ms. Hughes is African American. And, no, she is not saying that minority people should not make fun of white people. Instead, she argues that white people need to stop making fun of white people.
African Americans and other minorities simply need to make fun of white people. That is a simple truth, according to Hughes. The fact of the matter is that minorities need racist humor "to placate themselves in the face of the overwhelming reality: It’s just better to be Caucasian."
Racist humor against whites, she continues, is "one of the most enjoyable" ways to "fight prejudice." But it is not something whites should do, even if they're making fun of themselves.
"This is how the party ends," Hughes writes, "with white people wanting in on the joke so badly that they create a separate category of “cool” white people who mock their own whiteness in an effort at solidarity."
Jokes about white people, Hughes continues, are not actually about white people, but are about "socioeconomic circumstances" and truthful "inequalities between whites and other races."
In the very rare circumstance that "white people are the actual target," she explains, it's not actually about all whites, but funny things that certain parts of the white community do.

He so white he bleeds bleach.
That was very white of her.
Don’t hate me because I’m white.
Another attack on “white privilege”?
There were a few times when I could have used a little of that “white privilege”, but no, I had to fall back on just being able to do the job to the best of my ability. There are just an awful lot of folks out there who have NO INTEREST in trying to live in a color-blind, or at least color-neutral, world.
If you want to have the “white privilege” then just start “acting white”, that is, to rely on the God-given talents you have, and work to put them to use in the most beneficial way to yourself and others. There is an attitude that needs to be adjusted in a big way, that color, and not content of character, should be the controlling factor in “affirming” special favor in the market place.
Merit knows no color.
Jokes about black people, Hughes continues, are not actually about black people, but are about “socioeconomic circumstances” and truthful “inequalities between blacks and other races.”
There, Ms. Hughes, fixed it for ya.
See, it’s actually a sign of respect.
jealous and hard of hearing. answers a lot of questions.
Jasmine is obviously not old enough to remember when stand up comedians - even on tv - used Italian, Irish and Yiddish accents. Sometimes even Swedish and of course Pollock ?sp jokes were everywhere.
If that’s too subtle for Jasmine, I will point out that the comedians were white making fun of other white people.
We already have this experiment running in Africa. The last white farmers are being expelled from Zimbabwe as we speak.
not guilty? seriously you need to get your eyes checked.
She’s a cutey.
she starts out- white people should be banned- kinda says it all.
shes a racist piece of shit.
Only blacks like Chris Rock are allowed to make fun of whites.
I get a big laugh on when I see an idiotic Black person walking around with his pants down! I am laughing at a black person not a white!
I’m invoking my White Privilege to tell Jazmine Hughes to sit on it and spin. Wait a minute - “Hughes” - that’s a Slave Name, isn’t it?
HUH? Logic is not her strong suit
Not builty but possibly blind.
LOL. try www.stuffwhitepeoplelike.com
It's her version of AA - she doesn't like [white] competition in comedy...
