Actually, most people's history reflects what they've been taught. For instance, people on this list refuse to believe that the United States lost the War of 1812. Even though the White House was torched. ::shrug:: I'm used to the distortions, so it doesn't surprise me that people accept unquestioned an idea like the French have never won a war. They aren't military geniuses either, but the statement just isn't true.
But coming back to nigger jokes, you guys might want to notice who is *not* in the thread agreeing with you about how ok they are. Cause see, my understanding is this. "Nigger" means an ignorant person and it's ok for one black man to call another black man that. When it comes from a white man though it means he is ignorant *because he is black,* which makes all the difference in the world. So if you really do think it's ok to tell such jokes, you may want to watch who you tell them to. Ditto the blonde jokes, which, take it from me, follow pretty much the same rule. Peace out.
