Funny how it's only white people saying these racist jokes are nbd, and when a POC makes a statement to say otherwise they get attacked.

It's 100% on brand.

Unless that POC is a teen, then their opinion on what teens joke about, and how they interpret those jokes, is irrelevant.

EXACTLY.

My POC teen has a diverse group of friends (mostly mixed race) and they do not make jokes like this.

And that’s fine. Some do. And that’s fine too.

But I don’t believe we’ve heard from a teen in this thread. We’ve only heard from a white dad talking about all the jokey racism that goes on in his house.

Well since teens don’t come here to post, you likely won’t.
I’ll take the dad’s word for it and my Blair kids. This is just how they do. Sorry you don’t like it.

Yes

So in summary, the only people on this thread that think that race based jokes are ok are white parents who seem to think we live in a post racial society. Okay then.

Well when you have a website that’s majority white you’re not going to get a lot of different views.

Do you think it’s relevant that these parents live in a racially diverse area? I’m guessing most of the pearl clutching people on this thread don’t.

If you think your teens don't make jokes, read their texts, snapchats, and see what their watching on social media. Mostly it's a bunch of older people in here telling people about kids these days who don't even seem to have or know any teens. The discussion is stale and inauthentic.

It's not that you're getting attacked, its that people are saying the your opinion is different from the current generation of teens and you guys just cant seem to accept that

Yup, I'm the Dad with the white kids that lives in Montgomery Village and sends my kids to GHS.

You can call me racist because I laughed a little under my breath when I heard the "dog for dinner" joke, but you'd be wrong.

What jokes have you heard your white kid make about his black friends?

Oh the top of my head, we were driving the boys somewhere and cop came up with the lights flashing and my kid said "Nate, what did you do? why they after you?"

and of course he'll called my son a racist POS and everyone laughed.

I will acknowledge that this all sounds horrible, typing it out on DCUM. But in the moment, when you see these kids that truly care about each other, you really do realize that this is how they are showing affection, making fun of the stereotypes, and taking the power back as a group.

And remember, 14/15/16 year olds are supposed to push boundaries. And it really feels like they are doing that in a safe way with each other

Do you think your kid would make that same joke if the parent of his black friend were driving? I wonder if the POC parents of your kids' friends think their kids live in a post-racial world where everyone is fine with race jokes. Curious if you've ever talked to them about it.

You keep missing the point. My opinion, the friend's parents opinion, and your opinion are more or less irrelevant.

We're talking about the world the kids live in; we're talking about how the kids see race.

This. As the Dad that lives in MV, I bet that most of the people criticizing my kid and his friends probably wouldn't stop at a red light at night on Montgomery Village Ave, but are telling me that I don't understand how teenagers talk about race.
