My Class in England have done a research project on race studies, numerous of our class members posted racist jokes about blacks yet it's the white people who are 'outraged' and lash out, when the same thing was done in black communties about whites it was dramatically differnent. Our stats 7/10 whites are 'offended' by black racial jokes 2/10 blacks are offended by 'white' racial jokes.

For once i think you MIGHT have something. White people are quicker to come to a black persons defince than a black person is to come to a white persons defince. I dont know why that is but there is some truth to it. maybe its because ( i am not saying it is right) of slavery and stuff. Maybe they are pissed about stuff that has happened to there race. But its not like the white people today were the cause of all the stuff that happened back then.

I think a lot of it has to do with the factthat we have gotton used t it unfortunast e but true also I think a lot of us younger African Americans have no idea where we come from and what we as a people honestly have been through personally I don't like the jokes from either side they make me uncomfrontable

I learned blacks don't like whites when in 7th grade I went to a mostly black middle school and had to deal with racism against me for being white everyday

I am a native american and i dont trust whites in anything let them stop making themselves feel so supernatural.
Mostly when they say blacks are likely to suffer from every kind of disease than whites. And back it up with information that is not accurate, but they try to make it seem like it is accurate.

Maybe the White jokes just did not hit the Mark...
besides I think that the experiement shows flawed lines of logic, your SYLLOGISMS are not adding up.....
Example
Premis:Blue Cars AreExpensive.
Premis:My car is a blue car.
Conclusion: My car is expensive..
INVALID CONCLUSION
So many variables also... Maybe the black people you asked just had a better sense of humor..?
It might differ in differing social environments, ie wealth of area, etc
but still I do get your point...
Interesting experiment..

It may have something to do with guilt, karma or fear of being known as a racist by co-workers or neighbors. People try to be politically correct and P.C. favors minorities. Maybe one day we will find a happy medium.

What does this question have to do with celebrities?
The researcher for the your project asked the wrong people....the study is flawed.

Thats crap. I have personnaly witnessed how blacks take any small hint of racism, even if there is no racist intent, and get themselves all worked up and angry.

Who cares what you get up to at primary school these days.
Shouldn't you be in bed by now?
