If you weren't funny it would make you look like the bad guy . But your jokes are hilarious and you're funny so that makes you the 'cool' guy imho!!

That lady was the African American women. She does this all the time, like she doesn't even notice the difference in colors. I think it's really amazing and am proud of her for it. Hopefully things will change big when our children grow up.
That's a great point you bring up. My little niece looks at my brother in law (white) and I (brown) one day and says to me, "Wow, I just noticed how different you are!" I was all ready to 'talk' to her about it but first I asked, "How?" and she says, "Your ears are pierced, that's so cool!" All I could do was hug her.

Yeah, she NEVER mentions a person as "different" in skin color, it's ALWAYS what they are wearing or a hair style, it just boggles my mind! lol

Duuuuuuude! I've always been on a mission asking black people if there are any really good white guy jokes (that doesn't involve the 'cracker voice'). Awesome.

I think black people are starting to take themselves a little too seriously - listening to Maya and Oprah or Sharpton and Jesse all the time.

It's just pics of mice and someone made the analogy and a joke. Get over it. It was funny. Made me chuckle.

Gotta think straight, Obama is about to change the game. Gotta get our minds right for what is coming and not focus on silly insignificant issues because there are greater things in store. Whether a mouse pic and a caption is racist or not is extremely unimportant.

Peace.

If you think this is in the least bit racist or inappropriate then you are inappropriate.

You know, the more I look at it, I find that you are right. It's not really humerous per se.

Truth is, it's more amusing if anything. Like: "heh, cute." would be the better response, rather than "ha ha, that's funny." Which is why it isnt particularly racist because the point was gotten, but it just wasnt that funny.

Peace.
Ay was that directed at me for quoting Maya? lol BTW I don't pay ANY attention to the other three, you gotta admit Maya be getting deep sometimes.

On topic the pic is too cute to be offensive to anyone IMO. Looks like Mickey is about to get some cutty.

Exactly...

It's not "ha ha" funny, more like "heh, that was cute." hence "a chuckle"

I don't think its racist but I also think that this pic should not have been posted on AOL. Also, I believe that black people prefer to be called "black" and not "African-American". I know white people think that "African American" is less offensive because it sounds benign but that is due to the whites deeply ingrained negative view of the word "black". The night is black, the day is white. A pigeon is perceived as a pest, a rat with wings but when that same pigeon is white, it is a symbol of peace, pure and virgin. They (whites) erroneously believe that black people prefer to be called "African-American" because it does not explicitly connote blackness. In fact, "African-American" is more offensive to them because they were uprooted from Africa to be brought to the Americas as slaves. They have no connection with Africa any longer (thanks to whites) yet are still labeled as "African-Americans" - suggesting that they are not true Americans. This is the same as the term "Asian Americans" although in the case of Asians, many of them still do have a connection with their motherlands. America is a country built on lies and the tears of Indians. What America stands for is great but, in practice, it is far from reality. America has had the worst history of racism, slavery. Think about it, slavery was only outlawed a couple generations ago. White people were so torn between whether slavery was right or wrong they killed their own brothers and fathers to keep slavery alive (Civil War). It will get better as we grow together and there is hope in the newer generations.
