Apparently you can safely make fun of a race if you are in it, or have demonstrated you are communicating in the right context. Just like Amerinds calling ourselves "Skins". Though it seems some descriptives are too bloody hateful to excuse away even in comedy, but that is my opinion;) Maybe my sense of humor sucks - which is a strong probability.
To me, It appears people deny the use of labels only when it suits *them*. Linguistically, how can we communicate without them? they identify, quantify, qualify, etc. Just one does not cut it, but a string of ever changing identifers. <http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://farm1.static.flickr.com/165/428458245_079bd3ff25.jpg&imgrefurl=http://blog.newsweek.com/blogs/stumper/archive/2008/02.aspx&h=500&w=500&sz=74&hl=en&start=2&um=1&usg=__xccwf9d_8su6M2eeS4PcVLJR76c=&tbnid=avDGrBPa281lSM:&tbnh=130&tbnw=130&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dobamas%2Blogo%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26rlz%3D1T4ADBR_enUS217US217> On Wed, Nov 5, 2008 at 10:29 PM, Jason (Memphis) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>wrote: > > So is this wrong when Dave Chapelle makes fun of blacks while being > black?
