Okay, so I went to the supermarket today to get my groceries and there was this African American behind me and I was being polite by asking her if I was getting in her way. That's when she yelled "of course you are move out of the way white lady!!" then followed it up with the fact that she was only joking. I still felt extremely uncomfortable though. I certainly wouldn't tell somebody to get out of the way because they're black. @Wynona, or any other black people on this forum,.. would you joke like that to a white person? Do you find it okay?

One thing I am learning is its only funny when two people are laughing . Scarcaism means to tear at the flesh or get under the skin.

if the short end of the stick is unfamiliar it smarts when it is gotten!

My mother used to say; sticks and stones break bones but names will never hurt . The power of the tongue is life or death. . be carefull . There is a time for sarcasim . Like when Jesu called the law of the fathers. . a brood of vipers

You have some catching up to do. Critical Race Theory is teaching people to judge others exclusively on the basis of skin color. It is now OFFICIAL GOVERNMENT POLICY under Biden.

Therefore you were a "white lady" and automatically offensive. This is all about racial hatred being used to tear America apart.

In pretense. Someone could assault you and also say in pretense "Sorry, it was just a joke".


I would agree I do enjoy laughter it can work like medicine (not a cure) but its only funny when two people are laughing. We are not to give even a hint of evil .

The commandment to believers is to know no man after the flesh some did know Christ after the flesh but that disappeared when Jesus left

1 Thessalonians 5:22 Abstain from all appearance of evil.

Agreed. I say that quite a lot myself.

Its a mean-spirited joke if you ask me.

Would she be okay if you joked like that to her, race and everything?

It sounds like maybe she caught herself being rude and then tried to fix it. In my opinion, it wouldve been better not to have said anything like that in the first place.

Probably not, but we'll never know because like I said before I'm not like that and I certainly would never joke about something like that.
