    change my mind! If you have kids you know the deal - liberal, conservative, none of that matters, this truth cuts through all that shit. Enjoy!

    You want to tell us why we're supposed to watch the video, Federal Farmer? Since you can't reply to this question:
    I'm not seeing why we should watch a video you like.

    You don't want to watch a video showing an inspirational black man overcome adversity? Damn that sounds kinda racist IMHO. Regardless that joke would work in any context - it's a joke about the stereotype. For example if it was "Trump People Meet" or "Southern People Meet" and I put up a picture like this it would equally funny.

    Granted you might have to take that stick out of your ass/chip off your shoulder/not be a pussy to see any humor in it.

    Why should I, regardless of the color of the person? What kind of adversity are we talking about?
    Why?
    Would it? Why? Because I can't think of too many "Trump People Meet" or "Southern People Meet" that have resulted in the deaths of folks who fit those particular stereotypes, but I can think of black people who've been killed due to stereotypes.

    Or maybe, just maybe, most people recognize that certain stereotypes shouldn't be joked about. Given that you're unable to respond to @Bailey's question in the original thread, I'm thinking you recognize this as well, and are just too much of a pussy to directly comment on it. Feel free to prove me wrong.

    or you could just watch the video (or google the guy) and find out about whatever adversity he's overcome. As for "most people recognize that certain stereotypes shouldn't be joked about"
    all I can say is :dayton: because of course you are the judge of what shouldn't be joked about. Again, reach behind you and find that stick when you get a chance.

    And who is he?

    And you are? What credentials do you have to back this up?
    What stick would that be? Is it one relating to the video that you've provided no information about, or is it the pic that you refuse to answer @Bailey's questions about?
