[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought this was supposed to be funny.  People are just posting things that are mean/sad/racist.  Does anyone have anything actually funny?[/quote]

When you come from dysfunction and cruelty, you learn to develop a very dark sense of humor so you don't become deeply depressed.[/quote]

Racism   just isn't funny or simply chalked up to dysfunction for some of us.[/quote]

Saying dumb racist and often cruel stuff is being posted as funny because it is dumb and racist - it is funny in that it is so obviously off the walls crazy. And horrible, that the best way to cope is to laugh at it.

- poster who was warned she would be sex trafficked in Africa and Middle East if she did not lose weight …[/quote]

There is a big difference between how you react in real life and what you later post here as having funny side to it. Comedy is often about exploring taboo or difficult subjects.

I would get into major fights with my mother about her cruel comments. I left family Events where she was making racist and homophobic remarks (more than 20 years before such views became widely unacceptable in my conservative home country. I got therapy and don’t talk like that to my kids. We now have a multi racial family which she accepts.

Please do not assume posting stuff as funny here means we condone racism or other forms of hate in any way .

It's not funny or even crazy. It's straight up racist, cruel and evil and you're minimizing that by relaying it as a quirky mom anecdote.[/quote]
