Reg,

We used two different sources, but the video was the same.  It was a scream watching Mr. Cobb stammer and “hammina-hammina” his way through the cognitive dissonance.😁

Yes, we are all Africans (hence my earlier reference to the Leakys, Mary and Louis, who discovered our earliest known Hominid predecessor “Lucy,” the Australopithicus in the…[Read more]

Kristina, I have never seen anyone who consciously identifies as Woke or Politically Correct have an ounce of humor in them whatsoever.  And they certainly couldn’t do a better lambasting on Mr. Cobb than he did on himself with his posturings of purity.

So when someone makes a joke, you’re digging around to see if they “consciously identif[y]” as…[Read more]

Actually some of the most hilarious jokes are ones about a nation of people that have few, if any negative stereotypes like Canadians or the Finnish. They end up being super bland jokes that could apply to anyone (say if they were about the cold weather in those countries). Even funnier is when shows come along and just invent jokes.

First you had Simon hyper generalising about woke people, and now Eco is doing it. Eco…consider laying off of the stereotypes. Woke people cover a very broad spectrum of people who use a variety of tools to cut down on harmful speech.

Woke people can even include university jock frat boys who call out their friends when they make rape-jokes or…[Read more]

@TheEncogitationer: This may be the video? I have seen another similar one somewhere too. Are we not all “out of Africa” anyway…where it all began?

If you start telling any stereotypical Irish jokes I will punch your lights out as soon as I finish this drink.

I don’t know that I’d qualify those as ethnic jokes. The third is the closest. The second is more of a language joke. The first only feels like an ethnic joke to the extent you could hear a Jewish stereotype delivering that punchline as a sort of dry, almost dark humour.

But even if we include those jokes, I don’t think the issue is that we can’t…[Read more]
