The black guys assumed the white girl crossed the street because she’s racist. Most likely stemming from the thought that white people are racist/scared of black people. Which in and of itself is racist. After she tells them the truth, it seems like they’re trying to recover from looking like idiots.

Not funny and not witty.
I had a black man walk up to me and said “Are you afraid of me because I am black?”
I looked him up and down and replied..
“I am not afraid of anyone who can’t zip their fly”
He laughed, zipped up and said thanks.
See not funny or witty either, but true story.
I’d say that was rather clever and, even though you refuse to acknowledge the hilarity of it, made ME smile. Not many people would actually think to say something like that to someone clearly intent on starting a ruckus!
“Well be careful! Ni–as got guns!”
Good advice. So he was actually concerned about her well being. By telling her that all members of the group that he is a member of are not concerned about her well being, and are in fact a danger to her.
He was trolling her! He might as well have said “This statement is not true”
The joke isn’t on the people involved, it’s on the complexities of racial tension. And it’s better to laugh at the issue than to get angry about it. Makes it easier to talk about and find solutions.
Hurry the hell up, Harry! The Carrows aren’t exactly fluffy kittens or anything… Or maybe fluffy kittens with a fetish for knives and the Cruciatus Curse.
Why are you bothering with the horcruxes, he evidently can’t kill you. Why don’t you just walk in there and fight him over and over again. You’re bound to win eventually… well, maybe not, but its worth a shot.
Skinny White Guy with no car is trying to get home late at night from “interesting” part of town where taxis don’t go at night. Approaching bus stop, he sees & is seen by Big, Mean-Looking Black Guy. SWG puts on game face, walks up and says, “Uh… Cross-town bus run all night long?” To which BMLBG whips his hands out of his pockets and starts clapping time, while singing “Doo-dah, doo-dah!”
Dey waz afraid dat she waz afraid, but she not. Den they’z afraid she not afraid. Den deyz ‘fraid of not being fearfully lookin’ to her. Den she afraid dat she waz not afraid. Loddafraid but no fear.
Racists (especially black racists) usually expect everyone to be racist (white supremecists usually think that non-racists and anyone who doesn’t think like them are morons). She wasn’t racist, she broke their flawed world view (like when a white supremecist encounters an intelligent black man). lol.
It’s not racist to cross the street when you see some black people walking your way, so long as you WOULDN’T cross the street if they were black men in suits. There’s a lot more than race available as information during that judgment. I have certainly crossed the street when a skeezy looking white guy in a hoodie was headed my way.
HILARIOUS! If I were to have witnessed this in person, I wouldn’t have been able to keep my composure…lol And let’s face it people, harmless racism can be quite funny…
Funny how someone makes a race based joke (note, not racist, but race based) and everyone jumps in shouting racism. A girl points out an example of racism from an ethnic minority, and people jump in to defend it.
Recently, beard scratchers have been trying to promote the idea that you *can’t* be racist if you’re in the minority, which is of course absurd. They imply racist views when you’re in a minority is just a defense mechanism, but how does that work when you see things like, I dunno, that blacks and hispanics seem to hate each other? What do you do when two minorities display racism?
Folks, racism is, as defined by Webster’s, :a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race.
Nothing at all about whether or not you’re a minority yourself and you feel other races are inferior.
the UN stated in the 50′s that the term “race” did not apply. There are different human phenotypes but no different human races. People are just getting it wrong since then >:|
The only “race” that can work with “humans” is for the man-bear-pig *O*
In wordplay, often times the deciding factor isn’t a words exact definition, but instead a word’s understood meaning. The best example of this would be the word “gay”
It means happy, but everybody knows it as meaning homosexual. Race is the same thing, it doesn’t mean the same thing that we use it for, but it’s understood to be taken as a word for varied skin color and other subtler traits.
Well, when teenage (or college) guys dress like punks and/or gangsters then they shouldn’t have a reason to get mad for stereotyping!
This is for white AND black AND Hispanic guys.
NOTE: I did not include other races because I have not yet seen any deliberately cultivating the “gangsta’” image here.
It’s like a girl complaining that she gets called a slut. Dress like a slut, get called a slut.
Racism
just in case
^THIS
..except not at all.

said the guy with a white icon…
The icons are assigned randomly by the Cheezburger Network.
Unless you got a Gravatar of an avatar that was previously-randomly-generated by the Cheezburger Network.
I wish I had an gravatar of an avatar….. forever alone!
That’s light orange.
Jersey white.
uh huh
Or it could just be funny…
*Whispers* Now is the time when you’re supposed to laugh…
If you have to tell someone to laugh. It isn’t funny.
Doesn’t even deserve a courtesy laugh.
No funny. You are failing failbook.
Facebook is Fail. What are you worried about?
Personally I’m just curious how you got “is” in italics.
Good old html.
Wait, they support html?
I never knew racism had reverse compatibility.
Welcome to the real world.
Nope. The only racist people are white people.
Yes, and the only people with tiny wieners go by the handle “tor2ga.”
Oh, wait, neither statement is true!

reelley…okayyes….
oh no. Not Drongo again… learn to spell.
Leave Drongo alone, learn to failbook.
Really? It’s extremely common.
Fail troll.
Detection failure != bowing to…
for the record, there’s no such thing as “reverse racism.” it’s all just racism XD
THANK you. i say this all the time and people look at me like i’m the idiot!!
Not funny and not witty.

I looked him up and down and replied..
“I am not afraid of anyone who can’t zip their fly”

Actually, that is a little bit witty. Not a knee-slapper, but a pretty good on-the-spot response.
But Vilewoman exposed herself as a Meat Gazer.
Who isn’t? Either sex has some meat to gaze at.
And that’s wrong why?
They claimed to have looked them up and down, I don’t know about you but I would have noticed.
I’d say that was rather clever and, even though you refuse to acknowledge the hilarity of it, made ME smile. Not many people would actually think to say something like that to someone clearly intent on starting a ruckus!
the above was funny, yours not so much
I lol’d
U probably didn’t see the part where he unzipped before he walked up….
think about it… makes his question a little more pointed, no?
Why were you looking at his crotch?
Probably to see if it’s true “what they say about black men”…
Oh, it’s twoo, it’s twoo!
Ma’am, that’s my arm. (or something to that effect it’s been awhile since I have seen that movie. Lol)
That’s actually pretty funny lol
Yeah! I love 1st Guy’s honesty.
Yeah, not really a fail here.
Sounds like life is less confusing for n***as, if youre racist…
“Well be careful! Ni–as got guns!”
Good advice. So he was actually concerned about her well being. By telling her that all members of the group that he is a member of are not concerned about her well being, and are in fact a danger to her.

Racist. N—-s doesn’t mean all black folk here. He certainly didn’t mean that the Obama’s have guns.
*Obamas
But, Obama does have guns. Well … access to a large group of people with guns anyway. And Tanks. And Planes. And Aircraft Carriers.
And nucluar weapons!
And lions and tigers and bears
Oh my!
This^
and le bear cavalry.
Y U NO scared of us, white girl?
The joke isn’t on the people involved, it’s on the complexities of racial tension. And it’s better to laugh at the issue than to get angry about it. Makes it easier to talk about and find solutions.
Agreed. I thought it was funny.
Actually, this is kinda sad.
I treat everyone equally, like crap. No gender or racial bigotry is found here.
The unnamed One
yeah right, you pureblood supremicist.
HE KILLED MY PARENTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am close to finding the 4th horcrux…..
Hurry the hell up, Harry! The Carrows aren’t exactly fluffy kittens or anything… Or maybe fluffy kittens with a fetish for knives and the Cruciatus Curse.
Shut up, Schlongbottom!
Why are you bothering with the horcruxes, he evidently can’t kill you. Why don’t you just walk in there and fight him over and over again. You’re bound to win eventually… well, maybe not, but its worth a shot.
emo.
If I walked towards black people, I would just ask them for crack… I’m not scared of crack addicts..
Now THAT is racist!

You just never know…
(credit Spider Robinson for the story)
At first I was like LOL
Then I was like… getting a towel to wipe the Diet Mtn Dew spray off my monitor.
Who the hell drinks DIET Mountain Dew???
Wait, there’s diet Mountain Dew?
I know right: the world got so ugly
I the hell drink DIET Mountain Dew!!!
(as do many people who like to consume mass quantities of Dew but don’t want to grow a 400-ton ass)
Diet Dew doesn’t taste like Dew.
I would cross the road to get away from people of all races. Equally.
^This
Speciesist!
People that annoy you:
N_GGERS
you gonna have to apologize, Mr. Marsh. Go on…..apologize……
Naggers? The correct form would be “nags”, but I agree that they can be very annoying.
NOGGERS?
I’m a nogger, but I only drink egg nog during the holidays. I usually drink it with Bacardi and nutmeg.
funniest effing thing i’ve ever effing read
God is just a Jedi in robes man
Meh
Dey waz afraid dat she waz afraid, but she not. Den they’z afraid she not afraid. Den deyz ‘fraid of not being fearfully lookin’ to her. Den she afraid dat she waz not afraid. Loddafraid but no fear.
This would have been far funnier had it ended with “Give us your car.”
Then it would be a tragedy.
Racists (especially black racists) usually expect everyone to be racist (white supremecists usually think that non-racists and anyone who doesn’t think like them are morons). She wasn’t racist, she broke their flawed world view (like when a white supremecist encounters an intelligent black man). lol.
Please name an intelligent black man who wears like black men

There’s a lot more than race available as information during that judgment. I have certainly crossed the street when a skeezy looking white guy in a hoodie was headed my way.
I’d be more likely to cross if they were in suits…suits are scary…
I would have crossed the street because I am sexist, not racist. I also prefer to be safer and not sorrier. =D
This reminded me of Crash. (The one with Matt Dillon, not the one with James Spader).
The one with James Spader was awesome. Kinky awesome!
THIS ISN’T RACISM. It’s sexism.
The entire concept is black and white people, but yeah, you could swap out the words and still have a valid situation that’s not uncommon.
Communist!
HILARIOUS! If I were to have witnessed this in person, I wouldn’t have been able to keep my composure…lol And let’s face it people, harmless racism can be quite funny…

Intelligence! You don’t belong on the internet! GTFO!
You do not own the internets. They belong to us!
HAHA! I read this whole thread and barely cracked a smile…
But you, sir, gave me a nice laugh from the gut!
the UN stated in the 50′s that the term “race” did not apply. There are different human phenotypes but no different human races. People are just getting it wrong since then >:|

Like Indy 500.
I honestly would have stayed and hung out in the hopes of further lulz. Or just to stay and hang out, whatever.
F*cking funniest slice of life status yet!
