That was a really funny video! [laugh]

Too bad you can just like the video on Facebook; and the Youtube version has bad quality and does not have subtitles.
But I'm li(n)king it anyway.

Common sense is another word for prejudice.

Ummm... did you not get that it was a parody video intended to show that racism is a real problem, and that it's bad how a lot of white people are more offended at being accused of racism than they are at actual racism?

Oh yeah i got that part. I got the part about blacks having developed thick skin after years of abused...
You see it as a joke on whites... I see it as a joke on both.
Is the over reaction on the white people in that video supposed to reflect (also) how blacks overreact to anything?
there is this white chick under the cover of a joke telling blacks how they should treat sensitive whites... yeah I get that it's a joke or supposed to be but honestly... not so much.

And i'm the one who tends to NOT see racism under every insult... but something about this video... really really rubs me the wrong way...
