As one of the chosen people you are my brother (sister?) in oppression and I appreciate you writing this. This is what I wanted to say but I couldn't find the words.

it's a sticky place, I let my family members set the tone and stay maybe two steps back, if that makes sense?
As an unmitigated Jewish honkey, I will not tell any person of color whether they should or should not be offended. But I sure as hell can analyze a joke (it's like dissecting a frog; no one is interested, and the frog dies!)
Yeah this isn't offensive. Its a fucking joke and actually pretty clever. Some people get too caught up in the p.c. police and lose out on laughter.
Exactly. Some kind of fucking noose gag? Hell no. I would be leading the protest to run them out of town and back to their home planet.
Perhaps she should have shown more discretion. That's not for me to say. If my brother's white/Hispanic wife had posted this I would have laughed and thought nothing more. Other people are pretty offended apparently. I personally was not. I run into racist crap all the time and this don't strike me as being hateful or…
Yeah, so my 'is this offensive' test for times when I can't tell is 'who is the punchline' and it seemed to me that the KKK was the punchline here. I'm not totally sure (I really don't trust my own judgement - hence using 'tests'), but I specifically came into the comments to see if anyone else was thinking that, so…
my post got cut off- I meant to wrap up by saying if you disagree, I totally respect that. But please don't try to silence me or mockingly ask what my point was.
Naw, I'm kind of with you. It wasn't a lynch joke or anything... as a black person, I too am not offended. But to each their own, I guess.
If I'm not claiming to speak for an entire race of people I can't share a personal opinion? On a story that is very very relevant to my experienc in life?
Agreed—I may have laughed a bit too loud at my desk in surprise at the "let the black men in" part.
kontribution...I honestly lol'd.
Also, there's the totally unfounded implication in the write-up here that here black in-laws do not or would not approve, while for all we know she ran it by them first.
I'm black and I'm failing to see why this is offensive. It's mocking the KKK, not black men. I'm not saying other people cannot take offense, but I am personally not offended. The KKK (and other racist folks) hate white women dating black men. Perhaps possible off white racist, assholes is the only positive Kardashian…
Scott is still my favorite, though.
The thrill she gets out of exploiting other peoples' tragedies is gross.
Seibert's lawyer said he is looking into Grace's history and other instances where she has made "outrageous and defamatory" statements about people on her show.
Wow, I didn't even know A-Rod was on the market.
Thank you! I'm not "mad" but I think it's pathetic and desperate. I feel the same way about women I know who do this on their own Facebooks. I'm not like "how dare you", it just makes me feel awkward and sad for them. As far as Beyonce goes, she's a public personality. Lots of girls look up to her. She's sending a…
