    Well, I've read it for a bit and for me the joke looks quite funny but offensive.

    Actually, Emily Parr from BB8 Has been booted out from saying 'nigger' to one of her mate and they think it was racially offensive word but if you listen to rap or hiphop songs they use that word often.

    well there is a lot of science behind what makes a joke, what makes a joke funny. and there is a lot of politics involved too - with the people who tell the jokes (notice I said politics rather than racism).

    I find baddiel telling a jewish joke pretty offensive, & ali-g the same too - the 'throw the jew down the well 'joke, would be funny if someone else told it?
    billy connolly is another of the 'comedians' who I don't find funny

    now, if you had little britain sketch with a mat lucas as black man drowning in a pool & david williams throwing him straw... you see the comedy.

    ..but that would never happen. it's only black comedians who can(/will) say 'nigger' on tv, which has everything to do with politics & nothing to do with humor.

    all that said, i think thats just what happens on tv. go to a stand up comedy show & anything goes & its all very offensive & very funny

    if you go to the other pages on that site you see its a political website, not a joke website.. point proven i think..

    Well to some like me I find it offensive. But then if it was jokes taking the p*** out of white people i would find it funny. But i took your advice keith, only i used the word scouser instead of welsh, then it gets really funny.

    I do have a good close friend who is black, who take offense if a stranger called him a nigger, but then he calls me a tight lipped thin nosed honky so who is racist ?

    "Ignorance and inconsideration are the two great causes of the ruin of mankind."
    John Tillotson

    Those jokes are really sad. How can someone find it as funny joke to hear or say? and what is funny about it? It is beyond my understanding...Only those who ignores what really is there behind those jokes finds it funny.

    i wanted to vote for funny and offensive..

    funny as i think you should be able to laugh at anything, no sacred cows.

    offensive because who ever created the web page looks to me like they really have a deep hate for black people.

    for goodness sake, jokes have been told about every single race & city on the planet. that page is a whole load of jokes about black people, and the site is clearly some anti black political organization.

    What do you call a Filipino walking a dog?
    • A vegetarian.

    if I made a page of 100 Filipino jokes, would the page be funny?

    "Did you hear about the new Black Barbie? It comes with 12 kids, AIDS and a welfare check"

    Is this a kind of a joke that will make you laugh? Why should we instigate those people who spread this kind of hatred and ignorance? Frankly, I don't find anything funny about those jokes...I don't find funny seeing a dead man with a stick in his ass? Was he a victim of violence, injustice or whatever? And those who read the jokes are laughing because those jokes were told centuries ago...because black were slave so they are entitled to be humiliated? Jews are stingy so as they have no right to have their own country? because they find it funny to laugh to someone's disgrace? It is not educative. To be able to laugh...Yes, we are so lucky that we are able to laugh because we are not dying of hunger...we don't have kids in Africa who are dying of AIDS, we don't fight our war...And what is our WAR? Have you ever thought about what is it? IGNORANCE is hard to eradicate it is a timeless war.

    well i don't see your point

    3000 people died in 9/11

    Q: What is the New York City Fire Department's favorite song?
    A: "It's Raining Men"

    it's a funny joke I think. seems like you want to turn all jokes into political statements.

    It's the least of my intention to turn all jokes into a political statements, what I am trying to point out is that those jokes might look funny but behind it there is a history. Not all jokes are educative not all of them are funny. Behind the 9/11 there is a history and I would not laugh if someone made a joke about it as I would not laugh if someone made a joke of children dying with AIDS and of a man who has been ripped out of his dignity as a human. What I am just trying to say is that we should not tolerate those kind of propaganda. Anyway, politically or not this is my opinion no offence meant.

    blacks and slaves, iam sure there is not a country on earth that has not been invaded by another, where its citizens have been rounded up, shot, butchered and murdered, or used as slaves, britian like most of europe had been invaded by romans, the british empire, nazi germany and the japanese, even the americans today. its thru humor that people are able to try to deal with the situation, as for africa, look at the state of it, you cannot tell me that its all europes and america's fault ? the picture you mention, is disgusting, that a human could do that to another human, but the slaughtering in africa now is mostly done by its own people on its own people, which country in africa is not corrupt ? they cannot feed their straving people but they can afford to buy weapons.. its a up world, just becuase i laugh at a joke, it dosn't mean iam not offended by it or hate anyone. some of the jokes to me are funny, thats my sense of humor, but it doesnt mean iam also not offended by them, or i support the racist who wrote them and put them on a web site, i could laugh at every joke on that site, but iam never going to join the KKK or kill someone..

    I don't find any humour in that jokes, people try to deal with the situations when they understand what they are dealing about. I am not pointing fingers to those who colonize Africa and who should be blame for it as what it became now, what its predecessor left them is the reality they are living now. History is there to teach us, but we have not learned far from it. I have an easy laugh but I do chose on which to laugh, knowing the root of those jokes takes away the humour of it. I do agree that if you find funny some of those jokes it does not make you a racist or a supporter, but what it makes of you?
