How long before the waaaaaaaay worse jokes come out?

I'm black and I found the picture to be funny....just back dated as hell. A dreamcast really? That ancient.

People too damn sensitive.....I didn't find the picture racist at all.

Man, I rarely post in the Sandbox. But this is ridiculous. It's a JOKE! It wasn't even a racist joke. Newsflash, you can have jokes involving black people without it being racist. Take the chip off the shoulder. If you don't like the thread, go on to the next one. If you're not offended at least once in the Sandbox you're just not paying attention....

Thanks Jazzer. It just made me think, I've seen all kinds of parodies of Lincoln giving the Gettysburg address. It's been obliquely used as a backdrop for all kinds ads and jokes. Never heard an uproar though. And that was a speech every bit as important as King's "I have a dream" speech.

Agreed. I don't think I've seen one post from Thorough that wasn't grouchy.
Instead of a frown, try a smile on for size.

My first reaction was SillyGirl posting the Dreamcast image showed a bit of a nerdy side. And I so like a nerdy girl!

I can respect a man who formulates his own opinions..... A man who is straightforward and has his own mind, although he may be opposed to everything that i favor, he earns a grudging respect. But some slithering snake, hiding among the reeds, slithering out to bite the ankles of the already assailed.... take a lesson from Dirty and Sens55 and grow some nuttz, son.
