Why are Race jokes taboo?

[code1211]

Lately, many comedians are making jokes about Trump that are funny to those who hate Trump.

These jokes are very similar to jokes of a bygone age that always used minorities or members of hated races as the punch line.

The situation was not the joke- the hated race member was the joke and the malady or mishap that befell them was seen to be deserved and that is what made the joke.

The Race based jokes involved the inability of the butts of the jokes to restrain their imagined instinctual responses or imagined deeply held desires. The humor depended on the bias and hate held by the audience and the teller to be funny.

THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE HATE-BASED JOKES INTENDED TO DEMEAN AND DIMINISH MINORITIES AND THE SAME JOKES INTENDED TO DEMEAN AND DIMINISH TRUMP.

Oh for the days of Johnny Carson when he actually could tell a joke that was funny because it was funny.

When will the illegitimate heirs to Carson's legacy figure out that the jokes they tell brand them as the shallow, prejudiced and biased, hate mongers that they claim to despise.

Liberal Jew media fake news inciting and empowering black people in race war against whites. Wake up white people.

Orange is a minority population and power. Gropers a minority and institutionally marginalized. Trump's people, a nation of one, are seriously disadvantaged. You joke while civil rights are trampled.

It's a good question, isn't it. But blinking of eyes and surprised face do not answer it.

Orange gropers are a very challenged lot. Making fun of them is like laughing at transvestites. It just isn't fair and is certainly not polite.

I don't believe he's aware he's flat-out rationalizing racial slurs, in all caps. It's kinda ludicrous.

I'm not saying all orange gropers are bad people, there are good ones. Some save lives, a small price to pay for a clown grope or two.

Nah, I think they're fully both aware of what they're insinuating. Which is why I'm so utterly mystified.

If I wasn't in uniform, I would be drinking myself stupid to try and understand how making fun of Trump is the same as insulting someone based on race or creed.

Oh! Absolutely! Orange Groper lives matter!

I can think of a motive.

They pay for it in their ratings. They are abysmal. Daytime TV even tramples them.

its unfortunate that even our liberals here can’t refrain from bad humor they find amusing. Well, at least they laugh at themselves... just as those night-time comedians do.

As a car guy, I have no issues with "race" jokes.

Ford. At least they circled the problem. (Funny because ford logo has a circle around the word ford)
Built ford tough. All with Chevy stuff. (Funny, because, a lot of racers end up using Chevy engines and trannies in their built cars)
Ford. Found on road dead. (Because they break a lot)
Mustang = Rustang. (Because they're slow)


I could go in, but I think you guys get what I'm saying. Ford sucks.

Because everybody's a ****ing drama queen, nowadays.

How about this guy, who got fired for bringing a watermelon to his co-workers?

Well, that wasn't my intention.

My intention was to show that the Trump-jokes that comedians tell that are funny only because they have Trump as the Butt of the Joke. In this respect, they are formatted EXACTLY as the racial slurring jokes of the past were formatted.

My intention was to condemn both of the presented examples: BOTH Trump and Racial slurs. I suppose if you have no issue with one, then you have no issue with the other and so your confusion rises as evidenced by your post.

If the jokes were creative or funny, that would be one thing.

However, they are only barks from the attack dogs.

The format and creativity are no different nor are they more creative or funny than the racial slurring jokes of the past.

You have have to hate the butt of the joke to appreciate the humor. No hate, no humor. You obviously see the humor in one or both of the genres.

The irony is strong in this post as anyone who visits the "cartoon" section can see. Actual cartoons with actual jokes are the exception. The thread is dominated by hatefuelled memes of quite disturbed violence, mostly supporting Trump. Humour is noticeably absent. Physician heal thy brothers. (and sistern)

Well, the media is constantly telling us that Trump is inciting rage in the minority community by using "dog whistle" words like "all Americans" to reveal his hatred of brown people.

I remember that a sports announcer pretty much had his career ended because he referred to the very happy face of Magic Johnson as a "watermelon smile". He tried to explain that it was an expression from his youth, but that was immediately dismissed.

I think the guy should have gone with the donuts.

You are apparently in the group that hates Trump.

I'm sure you love the jokes.

He seems to be doing a better job at President than the A-holes making the "jokes".

Are there any jokes they tell about Trump that would be funny if they were about Obama?

If they are funny only if Trump is the butt of the joke, they are no different than jokes that were funny only because they rode on the wave of racial slurs recognized as automatic laugh lines.

Might as well be Klan meetings.

This is the most uneducated, moronic ignorant thing I read today. Wow, that comment has mad stupidity meters explode all over the place.

Trump provides the material almost everyday.
