Nah, he'll go back to Spud.

But will Spud take him back?

He may need to grovel and plead and say how terribly, terribly wrong he was about everything in their relationship right back to:.

Has our nation grown enough to allow this ?
I wonder.
In my own little world, I'd say yes !
Not being a practicing racist (as most people are), the skin color on either "side" must be ignored..
Respect for others however, is more important than cheap laughs.
Having read the results of the poll, I'd say that we are improving as a people, but we do have a ways to go.

No a racist is made by circumstance and upbringing not by googling how to be racist.
 
I value my right to hear funny stuff more than my right to be protected from mockery.
 
If done creatively, it is enjoyable. The ones I laughed with the most were portrayals of uptight white people.
 
If they are targeting whites specifically then no, it's not okay.
 
I wish the OP had included "Is it OK for whites to bash blacks for comedy purposes? I think it would be interesting and entertaining to see the racists defending blacks bashing whites while condemning whites bashing blacks.

White comedians do it, too. I don't know how Daniel Tosh gets away with some of the things he says. Oh wait, yes I do: he's funny.

I thought he was just lame.

If that is the case, that is the case, but I still think he is ignored because he is just not worth the effort.

Everyone has their own taste. I wouldn't consider him ignored though...I mean, how many comedians actually go on to have their own show?

I think most people are not nearly as sensitive about race as they feel like they have to pretend to be just for the sake of political correctness.
 
Freedom of speech - White comedians are free to bash blacks however they want. If they're funny they'll be accepted; if not they'll be ridiculed. It's all fair.
 
I really don't understand your argument.
