Let's put it this way. Slave mothers' toddlers taken away and sold--not funny. Lynching and dead black men hanging in trees--not funny. Genocide--not funny. If you think these things are funny you're a sociopath.

Bingo. One can find it funny all one wants to. But one must accept the perception of oneself that is portrayed in the process.

the fact that you don't says your a humor nazi. Should everyone share your sense of humor?

I'm not a humor Nazi at all. You can laugh at it all you choose. And then you can accept the fact that you are viewed as a bigot, a racist, and a sociopath. Freedom to choose is yours. And with it comes the obligation to accept the consequences of your choice.
 
Parody is only funny when used by a less privileged class to ridicule a privileged class. When a privileged person uses parody to ridicule people who are less privileged, it's just being a bully. Remember when Bush told the rich people that they were his base? Not funny in that context. Simply ironic.

Nope. I view people who have a sense of humor like you as a racist and bigot. Not to mention sociopathic and lacking in sensitivity. That clear enough for you?

For laughing at a picture???? :lol:
 
Yep. Can you say "covert"? And can you effectively use critical thinking skills to connect the behavior to the thought to the action? Requires a bit of a break from the literal school of thought.
 
TxGolfer, taking the context of the following picture (a song by MC Hammer, "Can't Touch This"), is the picture funny?

The picture is funny to me, because it reminds me of MC Hammer's dance moves, NOT Nazism.

MC Hammer in Action:

Can't touch this
Can’t touch this
Can't touch this
Can’t touch this

My, my, my, my music hits me so hard
Makes me say oh my Lord
Thank you for blessing me
With a mind to rhyme and two hyped feet
Feels good when you know you're down
A superdope homeboy from the Oaktown
And I'm known
as such
And this is a beat uh you can't touch

I told you homeboy,can't touch this
Yeah, that's how we livin' and ya know,
can't touch this
Look in my eyes man, can't touch this
Yo let me bust the funky lyrics, you can’t touch this

Fresh new kicks and pants
You got it like that now you know wanna dance
So move out of your seat
And get a fly girl and catch this beat
While it's rollin' hold on
Pump a little bit and let them know it's going on
Like that, like that
Cold on a mission so fall on back
Let 'em know that you're too much
And this is a beat uh they can't touch

Yo I told you, can't touch this
Why you standing there man, can't touch this
Yo sound the bell school is in sucker
, can't touch this

Give me a song or rhythm
Making no sweat that's what I'm giving 'em
So now they know
You talk about the Hammer when you’re talking ‘bout a show
That's hyped and tight
Singers are sweatin' so pass them a wipe
Or a tape to learn
What it's gonna take in the 90's to burn
The charts legit
Either work hard or you might as well quit


That's word because you know
Can't touch this
Can't touch this
Break it down!
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Stop! Hammer time!

Go with the flow it is said
If you can't move to this then you probably are dead
So wave your hands in the air
Bust a few moves run your fingers through your hair
This is it for a winner
Dance to this and you're gonna get thinner
Now move slide your rump
Just for a minute let's all do the bump

Bump bump bump yeah, you can't touch this
Look man, can't touch this
You'll probably get hyped boy 'cause you know you can't,can't touch this
Ring the bell school's back in, break it down!
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Stop! Hammer time!

Can't touch this
Can't touch this
Can't touch this
Break it down!
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Stop! Hammer time!

Every time you see me, that Hammer's just so hype
I'm dope on the floor and I'm magic on the mic
Now why would I ever stop doing this
With others makin' records that just don’t hit
I toured around the world from London to The Bay
It's Hammer go Hammer MC Hammer Yo Hammer and the rest can go and play

Can't touch this
Can't touch this
Can't touch this
Yea, Can't touch this
I told you, can't touch this
Too hype can't touch this
Get me outta here, you can't touch this

Why is it necessary to use Nazi uniforms to illustrate a dance move? That is the whole point. The connection is offensive.

Of course, I don't expect you to understand that.
 
I think this picture is funny. I bust my guts when I first saw that. A real (dead) squirrel lying on a street facing up, claws/arms in the air with two fake GI Joe action figures posing for the camera while in fatigues and holding their fake military issued guns with both figures' own foot firmly on top of the real (dead) squirrel. The whole things is just funny.
