Funny or Offensive? Both? Neither?

[Fraught]

Much of the names were meant as a joke.

Either way, I don't see reason to be "offended" by this video.
I found it funny.

There are two black girls at my school named Puddin' and Precious.

Found it funny. Anyone who finds it offensive needs to lighten up

[Jedamethis]

High-larious!
But definitely incredibly offensive to that imaginary black person the media created.

 

[Distorted Stu]

I thought it was good, few racial jokes but it was what it needed to make it more humourus.

I could expand on something like, if someone found it offensive because they were indeed a black female, then something about while guys sterotypical hillbilly name. I wont expand but i hope you get my point.

I found it rather funny. I also found it somewhat worrying that none of those names struck me as a ghetto name I'd never hear in real life.

 

[Hazy]

A tad funny, and certainly not offensive.
If anyone thinks the latter to be true, they seriously need to lighten up.

 

[Alphavillain]

I don't find it offensive. The fact that many other black people are making videos continuing the trend hardly suggests it is offensive, either.
Despite some over-anxious and frankly humourless zealouts, it's not racist to point out that different cultural groups often act differently to each other; it's only racist to give some sort of hierarchy to races/skin colours.

I larfed.. Dont thinks its offensive, its a joke comoooooon!

 

[RobotNinja]

I felt that was pretty racist, and thus unfunny.

 

[I_LIKE_CAKE]

That was funny, but some people don't have a sense of humor.

 

[Soxafloppin]

Seen it ages ago, i laughed. Its not racist. Its hilarious. Plus there not exactly white, and non whites cant be racist.

 

[Fygar]

It was kinda funny, but then stupid. Fast. It's hard to be offended by somebody being racist when you realize how stupid they are. Then you just feel bad for them. So my vote goes to sympathetic.

 

[Chipperz]

Yeah, I didn't laugh because I didn't have the sound on and, looking at these people, I don't want to hear them but... Yeah, it was funny.

I felt that was pretty racist, and thus unfunny.

Please, PLEASE tell me you're joking...

I don't know, unless you are a professional comedian, you shouldn't be making racially tinged jokes, because one of the attributes of a joke is that it should be funny. Personally, I didn't find it funny, so to me, it just comes across as an exploitative sterotyping of a culture. But, that's just me, and it's not like I'm going to be up in arms about it.

Edit: Maybe "shouldn't" is not the right word, people are of course free to do whatever they want to do. It's going to come down to if the person finds it funny or not as to whether or not they find it offensive in most cases, which is purely subjective.

 

[Rock 'n' Soul]

I think it's hilarious. Some of those names are kind of insane, but, having known a "Kwanza" and a "Antiquesha", it's hard for me not to laugh.

 

[anthony87]

I liked it, in fact I tend to like most "racist" jokes.

Sorry, my first double post, just ignore.
