ahhh , this site is a strange one . i'm confused as hell .
i don't get if they mocking white people there , or being racist toward black people .
at first glance it seems they laughing on black people . but after a little observetion it looks like a satire on white people who try to show how much they're not racist , but the fact that they show it make em racist .
ugh, i get a headach from all this thinking .
good thing i belong to the deep tan skin people .

lol this one is particulary ironic:

"Sally and Johnny are always giving me my props on how good it is that I graduated from college and that I do not have any illegitimate children. The fact that I have never been to jail makes me a "credit to my race" in their eyes. They know my race needs all the credit it can get. Thanks for looking out you guys!"

[and it has the photo of a black dude smiling] - can be found in "testimonials" section.

That site is really quite good.
Points out in a semi-subtle way the prejudices some people have.

it comes down quite well to this single point...

"Some of my best friends are... black/gay/asian/dj's/etc.*"

HaHa!
From the "letters" section...

"White people like you are the worst kind. You know nothing about the history and don't connect with black people on a level of humanity, but rather on the basis of race."

Now I find that really funny.

Swap "White" and "Black" - and you've got a pre-written reply.

In fact, the letters page is possibly the best part of the site. The main bulk of it simply poked fun at the exact kind of sickly people you see portrayed there (not white - possibly not even racist - but I don't want to sit here and analyse it)

The letters page however, is a fantastic insight into the open/closed mindedness of people.

Comments ranging from.
"f*** you if you are racist - well done if you are black"
assuming white=racist and black=victim
an unfortunate mindset to say the least


"Well done - you've really highlighted the problem"
from both blacks and whites.


The letters page is fucking fantastic to be honest. It shows just how deep racism is in ALL races, wether "native" american, black, white etc.

Love it!

Oh my word it just get better!!!

"One thing I like, that none of the other people seem to have noticed, is that it satirizes black stereotypes of whites as much as it does white stereotypes of blacks.

"We grew up in your average neighborhoods doing the usual things that all people do: swimming, golf, horseback riding, arts and crafts, gardening, building treehouses, mowing the lawn, selling lemonade, etc."

I mean, come on. That's brilliant.

Amazing !!!

After saying a multisyllabic word such as "understand," Johnny will often follow it with a translation for my benefit like "Dig?" I am glad that he makes his big words accessible to me

I love being around Johnny and Sally because they kiss their dogs on the mouth, and that is really funny!

- Sally and Johnny recognize that as a black man, I'm an expert on self-defense and the ways of organized crime. Whenever they are about to go to a "bad" neighborhood, they ask me for my advice. That's phat.

Johnny always compliments me by saying things like, "Damn bitch you stupid fly," or by telling me you a big fine woman back that thing up. Just things that make a black girl feel good.
^thats some stereotypical shiat, but alot of its fuckin hilarious...you have to admit, even though this stuff can be degrading, racist, disrespectful, and all those negative things it is also funny if you take it in good humor. we should just accept it as a joke until some tells us it isnt.

Vin Diesel and the Internet - relation? I THINK SO

Vin Diesel invented the internet while trying to steal cable TV.

Contrary to popular belief, it was in fact Vin Diesel who invented the internet. Al Gore stole the designs when Vin fell asleep at his keyboard.

Thats damn true, and what i was about to say.

Umm, it ain't really a joke.

It's sattire.

It basically attacks prejudices on both sides of black and white racism.
And the letters page give you a real insight into the mindset of the person that wrote it.
Look at it again...

See how all the black characters are the stereotype held by ignorant whites...

In all honesty - it's a site that goes a long way to illustrate just how stupid bigots of any race are.

im not that deep...infact I don't even think I can comprehend what you just said. So for simplicity I will just call it a joke because I thought it was funny. I would have never thought anymore of the site if you hadnt enlightened me ... all hail the great stiff
