A friend of mine (caucasian) tried to tell me off the other day when I laughed while looking at this site. I tried to explain to her that it is meant to be funny, it isn't racist, it is a joke on racism, but she didn't get it. What do you all think?

Btw, I found it by accident awhile ago, I think it is hilarious and so do my black friends.

She "understands racism"? I think not...and nor do you sweetie.

It's a satirical look at white people (and perhaps racism in general). Not anything negative about Blacks.
The site is not racist- it's a humorous look at racism.

I have seen that site before and think it is so funny! The fact that people can make fun of the stereotypes is great. Notice how the white people are dressed up like country club folks. That is stereotypical/racist too. Most people just do not consider racism against whites.
Your friend needs to get over herself. If she is going to be that literal about everything in life, she is going to be upset most of the time.

It's a touchy subject any way you go. I can joke about issues like that with VERY CLOSE friends who I have known for many years. I would be careful though. Once you racially offend someone, you will be branded a racist and the word will spread around, even if you aren't.

I guess it would really depend on the intent of the site creators, this may be their way of poking fun at racism. I can see how the site might be considered humorous but personally it's kind'a like "huh?" (Not even close to my brand of humor).

I'm black and think it's funny too. :) Seems like an obvious joke on racism.

I think the whoever made that site is crazy. It sort of tickles my funny bone but I can't help but think it's mostly stupid like a old Jim Cary movie from the 90's. So to me it looks more stupid then funny.

very funny, it was made by black people and it raises the question of how discriminatory everyone is... in the website, there are issues that only black people know they do... most people think those two white guys did it...

trust the PC police to kill any fun out there.
I thought it was funny in a totally dorky way. It's obvious they're all having fun with it.

You should listen to your (caucasian) friend because she "UNDERSTANDS" RACISM!.....I would advise you to research "Slavery" and also "Hitler" who abused the jews!....after you get "Educated" on Racism, then you will have deeper & Intelligent Understanding of what it's all about and who it offends and why "JOKES" SHOULD NOT be made concerning these Horrible act!..............simple as that!....
