Why are Race jokes taboo?

Nickyjo said:
Don’t enjoy jokes about Trump’s hair or skin, most are silly, and I saw him good-naturedly allow a late night host to muss his hair up. There is no need to make jokes about his appearance as he has done about women, or make up facts about him, as he does so frequently. But his narcissism, extraordinary lying and cynical use of race cry out for satire and ridicule.

Those are less plentiful than the others.

Do you have an example of his "cynical use of race"?

I like humor.

I dislike hate and hate based actions.

IF the jokes about Trump that you enjoy are funny because they are funny, that's terrific.

Most of them are funny only because they attack and demean.

As an example, there are legions of jokes regarding Trump having orange skin or a particular kind of hair. I would guess you enjoy these.

Were you similarly amused by jokes regarding the color of Obama's skin or his particular kind of hair?

Making fun of spray on tans is an American tradition. It isn't racial, it's about the stupidity involved in getting your skin color from a can. I bet this makes you angry you can't make jokes about black people stealing TVs and Obama being a dirty Kenyan.


Sent from Donald's hair using Putin's Blackerry.
