Okay, here's my first joke:
Me: What did the black man get after sex?
Other Person: What?
Me: 15 to life...
Here's another joke:
Me: What do you say to a black person on a bike?
Other Person: What do you say?
Me: Hey! That's my bike!
Anyways, what do you think of my jokes?
Trigger warnings?

Ethnic humor is a no-no. We are all Swedes, all blonde, all frigid women. So no Swedish jokes, no blonde jokes, no misogyny.

White people who think they created civilization.
Knee slapper, fam.

They have short term memory loss. At most their memory goes back 200 years ;-) On the other hand, Kilo Ren is right some times, some old things we really do need to forget.
Most people didn't invent anything, including civilization. Most of us are freeloaders on the inventions and labor of others. Our attitude should be gratitude, not arrogance. Here is to George Boole, who invented Boolean logic, central to computing today!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Boole
He happened to be male, happened to be White, happened to be British ... but what counted was ... he was one smart dude. And of course his work was built on that of other smart people (yes, women do math too) going back thousands of years. Most importantly the Indians who invented "arabic" numerals and Aristotle. He died when he was only 49. So many brilliant people have been cut off while still full of potential. For a larger perspective ...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_logic#Rise_of_modern_logic
It started independently in India, China and Greece. It develops into, among other things, computability theory today (see Alan Turing).
Here is a contemporary practitioner of modern logic ...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saul_Kripke ... I agree with his personal position regarding religion and philosophy.
Traditional logic is still in use ... by doctors and lawyers. Computability theory isn't something of use to them.

The only joke here is you. And you are not a funny joke, just a stupid, vapid, empty-headed excuse of a creature; you don't even quite measure up to be a human.
I don't think that jokes about race should be off limits, but you should be careful who you share them with. Some people are kinda rabbid about that. That said, I don't find these funny, although the second one reminds me of an old meme from ten years ago...

Not my brand of humor, actually.

I agree with Blackleaf that jokes about race shouldn't be off-limits; I enjoy "racist" jokes as much as the next guy.
For me the problem lies in a self-proclaimed racist making said jokes. Jew jokes? Funny. Jew jokes coming from a neo-Nazi? Suddenly not as funny. Same principle.

Can't we all get along? ... Probably not.

Did
ZenKlassen proclaim himself to be a racist or is this just a general thought on the subject?

Yah. Check out his creativity thread, it's a religion based on white supremacy, who's founder is who he is named after.
I still wonder if the reason he never answered was because I am of an inferiour race, and he isn't allowed to interact with us... I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and say he hasn't posted much since his first few threads, so maybe he just wanted to expose people to his religion and then bugger off...

Clearly he is a racist. He admitted that he believes in what the elder Klassen believed--mud people and all that shit. This guy is a worthless piece of shit and is basically trolling this site.
Don't insult trolls. Clearly he is an Orc ... just be glad he isn't an Uruk-Hai.

He's visited today, but it looks like he hasn't posted anything since starting this thread. We probably scared him away. Didn't take well to the criticism, I expect.
I'm sorry, but I have a tolerance for humor. Even bad humor. Even truly evil humor.And I understand it.
The point of humor, the SUCCESS of humor, is all mean. BY which I mean, there is no joke that doesn't make somebody look stupid.
Here is an atheist joke... Ann atheist got tired of being the butt of jokes. One evening, she went home and memorized all the state capitals.
Back in the office the next day, some guy started telling a dumb atheist joke. She interrupted him with a shrill announcement, "I've had it up to here with these atheist jokes. I want you to know that this atheist went home last night and did something probably none of you could do. I memorized all the state capitals."
One of the theists, of course, said, "I don't believe you. What is the capital of Nevada?"
"N," she answered.
LOLOLOL! I cracked up. Admit it, it's FUNNY! And just as funny if it was "he". Or black? Or gay? Or Italian? Maybe not so funny then. But why? The joke is still the content and the surprise at the end.
Yeah, too much of one victim wears thin. Buts its not the joke, it's the intent. I can make a lot of atheist jokes because I am one. I can make Black jokes. I can make Polack jokes. But I can't make the same joke if the "victim" is Asian or gay?
Think about that for a while...
This is considered to be
the world's funniest joke (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World%27s_funniest_joke):
QuoteTwo hunters are out in the woods when one of them collapses. He doesn't seem to be breathing and his eyes are glazed. The other guy whips out his phone and calls the emergency services. He gasps, "My friend is dead! What can I do?" The operator says, "Calm down. I can help. First, let's make sure he's dead." There is a silence; then a gun shot is heard. Back on the phone, the guy says, "OK, now what?"
I guess that's pretty funny, but I like George Carlin's humor better. Or even Father Guido Sarducci:
QuoteLife is a job. You get $14.50 a day, but after you die, you have to pay for your sins. Stealing a hub cap is around $100. Masturbation is 35 cents (it doesn't seem like much, but it adds up). If there's money left when you subtract what you owe from what you've earned, you can go to heaven. If not, you have to go back to work. (Sort of like reincarnation -- many nuns are Mafia guys working it off.)

Achievement isn't happening because of skin color, it is because of opportunity plus human nature. Where opportunity exists (see US), then interesting things happen given human nature. For example, the Kardashians. And in any case, 99.99999% of the human race never achieved anything other than being an example of what not to do.

From what I've read, it was somewhat more than .000001% of humans who spread out across the continents. By our population at the time, that would have been less than one person. That's a pretty tricky way of re-producing.
