Do Black people ever laugh at blond jokes? Do they tell blond jokes?

Question

Are they being racist if they do?

If a Black man told me a blond joke you know what I would do - LAUGH if it was funny - and not think ANYTHING else about it!

Answer 1

I'm sure they have their own racist jokes and comments as well. I was shocked at the comments Imus said. I don't agree with it. Yet I have to admit the first time I heard those words was from a black girl hurling comments to another black girl. They have their own act to clean up and I'm not saying that's an excuse for Imus. So much of their own culture is still very gutterish. It shouldn't be how low can you go. Measurements shouldn't be from low end of the spectrum. We can all wallow in the mud if that's where we choose to be. Unfortunatly not everyone aims high and there's a whole lot that offends me out there. A whole lot that offends me as a woman that I would love to see gone, so I didn't have to change the channel or block sights on my computer or drive down a different street or change the channel. But like it or not.....that is out there and as long as I can change a channel or whatever.....I don't have to live in it. You have to develope a thick skin to survive because not everybody cares to aim high.

There's a whole lot the black community does that is very degrading and hopefully this incident will also make others wake up to see their own responsibility into feeding into these attitudes. You can't go throwing stones in glass houses and the ones who claim to be so offended are a couple of the greastest offenders as well.

People look anymore to find something to be offended about. So we're dealing with extreems. I do have to admit I have a pretty thick skin but his comment shocked me. It definately crossed the line. I just also know there are equally offensive things thrown and as a white person....maybe we've been too tolerant of blatent racist terms as if it's acceptable when thrown our way. I don't know the answer. But it does give people something to think about.

Answer 2

Well truth be told, I am a white celtic woman Scottish/Irish, and I have not had very much experience with mixed race cultures, but what I do know is there is good and bad on each side, but in general, I have found that women, no matter what colour or race, are the same, the world over. There are two kind's of people in this world, regardless of creed or colour, some with open mind's and some who suffer badly from tunnel vision.

And yes I would laugh if a black man told a blonde joke.

Answer 3

Being blond isn't a race. Are you trying to say that telling a blond joke is like telling a racist joke?

You can change your hair color. Also, hair color hasn't ever been used as a reason to enslave or suppress a group of people. Your hair color also doesn't describe your heritage or ancestry. Therefor blond jokes don't even come close to being like a racial joke.

Answer 4

Yes, I heard blond jokes from Black men ( my cousins ) , but I never heard of people getting lynched and enslaved en masse, just because they were blond.

( I'm a red head and about 350 years ago I'd probably had to burn at the stake because of that fact )

Answer 5

Yes

Blonds are the only universally mocked minority.

As a member of a multigenerational blond family I have experienced this first hand.

Non blonds ridicule blonds and then rape the blond women.

Even the Bible has a comment about the criminal desire against blonds.

Yet does our Government do anything to protect blonds NO.

Answer 6

I take it you're offended that Imus has been asked to resign? Yes Black people laugh at jokes. All kinds of jokes. Do we tell blonde jokes? I don't...seeing how I don't have blonde hair. No one in my family does...I can't relate to people with blonde hair.

Make your point and stop being so superficial. He was wrong and your pointless question proves it.

Answer 7

Why do some people bring up the past. Blacks are not slaves, they are not worth 3/5 of a person, they can vote, ... I have never owned a slave or a blond. To me they are all the same ...equal

Answer 8

I am sure that African-Americans, Like all people all over the world, no matter their race, creed or color laugh at any joke that is funny. Humor is universal among mankind

Answer 9

I don't think I've ever hear a black person tell a blonde whore joke - have you?
Have any of the white team members been referred to as blonde whores on the air?

Answer 10

Really? Hair color and skin color are in the same category when it comes to being racist? I never remember there being laws proclaiming blonds as being 3/5 of a human being; I don't recall it being illegal for blonds to marry, oh, let's say, brunettes; Blonds have never been persecuted and even killed for the color of their hair (which is very changeable, skin color is not). I see no correlation here, none whatsoever.
