You 1st…what are your best racist, sexist, gay jokes?...If you’re a straight white guy, good luck. It might be good practice cause with Hillary and Obama we better be able to tell non PC jokes. I think Leno, Letterman, O’brien, Fergusen, Kimmel,Stewart and Colbert might agree with that…

Kind of good answer, but you thought about it way too much.

Yes I second the boy fucking comment, I must agree i was thinking it. Making racial jokes doesn’t make you racist because racism is calling one race inferior to the other. I love making fun of really white people, I got the golf announcers voice down. The whitest meal is a turkey sandwich extra mayo with either a glass of milk or a glass of Arnold Palmer.

I was listening to Artie Lange on Adam Carolla’s radio show today and he was trying to explain how he pissed off some gay groups with a joke on Howard Stern’s Sirius radio show. He was apparently helping out a charity for Gary[Howard’s producer] who had a brother die of aids but I don’t think Artie helped his case. It’s nothing compared to Andrew “Dice” Clay’s battle with the gay community …

Catholic priests fuck alter boys. Not just any leather joy-boy that prances his sweet ass around in front of him. I mean, come on…..They’re priests for Christ sake.

Here is a middle eastern comic named SHERIFF who walks that delicate line of racism funny, not funny.

What’s amazing is the audience is with him on this, which kicks ass, but as with all humor it’s subjective. Seems like someone like Chris Rock’s infamous routine can only be delivered by Chris Rock, and not one of the guys from the Blue Collar Comedy tour…

Are prostitutes really a “race”?

Not a crace but one of the previous posts make references to racist/sexist slurs etc, plus I would point out that babies and frogs (the subject of previous jokes posted) are not exactly races or ethnicities either

On the broader point I do believe that this kind of humour can be funny. Watch Ricky Gervais, he’s a master of it he makes jokes about disabled people, religion & races all of the time yet he never gets pilloried the reason for this is your not necessarily lauging at the content of his jokes or observations but the ignorance behind them

Actually, I think frogs might be a different race…. I haven’t had biology since the 8th grade, but I’m fairly certain frogs will be in a different genus, species, and race.

i think racial jokes are one of the funniest kinds of jokes. you joke hoping to make things change but you cant change race. there is also a deeper meaning. if you are an african american and refer to yourself an an african american then you  yourself are rascist against yourself because you dont identify yourself as a human being. wich i do. and besides more black people are rascist against white people then white people are against blacks. sorry niggers you are the rascist ones. and have you seen africa lately. if i was you id be happy. people hack off each others limbs with a machede simply of where they were born. isnt that fucked up.

All I know is the most sexist, racist, homophobic and anti semitic jokes I’ve ever heard have been told by people in those same groups. I once heard Joan Baez talk about being with Andy Young and Dr. Martin Luther King and they were telling the crudest, most racist jokes she had ever heard…go figure. After a real tragedy, quite often the most normal people will tell the sickest jokes…
