If you take offense to a joke about an event that happened HUNDREDS and HUNDREDS of years before you were even concieved, you either have no brain, or you have servere mental issues... I mean, come on! Why care so much about something that happened in the past if you, yourself, will never have to worry about it in the future? That's like black people (or African American, if you want to be politically correct) taking major offense to all white people for slavery, which they didn't even experience, nor did the ones they hate against have anything to with it. It doesn't make sense!
World = Nonsense
Really it is true, I would have to blame the individualistic air that most people have, yet they will still seek to attach themselves to a certain sect of culture. Black people argue that they were oppressed, yet they seem to put down themselves more than it seems that white people put them down. I find more offense in a black person saying the N word to other black people, and even more to white people, than a racist joke made about black people, because they seem to enclose themselves in the stereotype that they take offense to.
