I had someone - right before DD was born & we decided to adopt an AA child- make a comment about "why do black people back up to park in a parking spot"-- something along those lines meaning that they do it to drive away quickly if a police office comes... something REALLY rude & offensive.


LOL, I find that funny! Sorry, I know some think it's a bit off. I think that some of these are also jokes SOME black people say amongst themselves for a laugh, but you have to be "in" , as it were, so as not to offend someone. I need to tell this one to my sister...

I have to admit that made me laugh also; I remember a black man I knew told me that his father always told him to live near a Greyhound bus station in case he had to leave town in a hurry. I never associated that with race per se, but I can see that as a sardonic commentary.
