Why 'Black Jokes' At Trump Rally Receive Less Outrage Than Others - CH News Show

[G.A.Hamilton]

If any Black comedian would have made any jokes about Jewish people nobody would think it was funny and that Comedians career would be over .

[DireWolf]

Black people already know where they stand with Trump. They've been knowing about him FOR YEARS. Still, some people brush it off as "That's just how he is." and they let it slide. But for the ones who have and continue to call him out, they get all kinds of shit for having the spine to say anything.

"Who taught you to hate yourself..?"

[Barren]

You got entire groups of Blacks defending Trump's racism, even some defended the watermelon joke at this very moment. We stand on each other instead of with each other.

[jamesthomasjr]

We also need to stop calling each other the N word. We don't respect each other so why will they.

[MileyPit]

Wow!!! I didn't even know he made any black jokes. Just shows how little respect black people get, even from our own black people.

[charleswatson]

No matter what you do or say to anyone black person. The 1st thing a lot of them say is Let's forgive them!!!! Quit forgiving everybody for everything!!!

[preacher]

He didn't make any jokes about white people.🤔

I'm a Puerto Rican and I didn't like any of it. My ancestry is of African, Native American, and hispoñla (Spain today). The watermelon "joke" was not funny, just like the "joke" about Puerto Rico being a floating land of garbage wasn't funny. Both Hispanics and African Americans should stand up and let it be known that racist jokes is not ok at all. Comedian or not. There's a time and a place for everything. That really wasn't it. He wasn't even apologetic about it either. Unfortunately some of our ppl still stand with Trump after approving the jokes. It was absolutely absurd and you're right. No white jokes was told. The only people who was "roasted" was the people of color.

Because the media has never reported the black jokes as you said .

[LaMarrBinIsrael]

We can take a joke better, however, talking racist shit about us is more accepted by EVERYONE.

[DebraJohnsondone]

I never have taken any joke about my black people...I have always been offended..and. it needs to stop. Needed to stop in the 60s!!! I will never vote for chump, NEVER!!!

[midnightcry]

Marvin, you are so right. I was speaking to a young black man yesterday. He has drunk the Candice Owens kool-aid. He saw nothing wrong with #45. It was just very disheartening

[JahmBProducts]

Watermelon and chicken jokes are bottom of the barrel jokes at this point, they're expected. People are almost desensitized to it.

[shawnyeabercrombie]

What bothers me is Trump does this all the time. Now he doesn’t care who the comic is and he doesn’t because the jokes didn’t work.

[melissaferriell]

Tellem. Don't let those so called jokes go unnoticed. Let everyone know just how racist Trump and his people are. 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

[RobertaOnDeck]

Low self esteem allows a person to be ok with being talked about. The harm Proj 2025 will cause low income, middle income, elderly, the healthcare system is being overlooked by many of our people. Dismantling Dept of Education will destroyed families with young children.

[stingrey]

Actually on late night with Seth Meyers made this same exact point. If trump is backpedaling from the Puerto Rican slander, but not saying anything about the rest of the rally. That means he is okay with all the other racist rhetoric spewed by others.

[regdexter]

i been saying this nobody saying anything about that watermelon joke huh

[Barren]

Maybe because we cannot even stand by a Black candidate and have even stand back and made excuses for years when Trump insult Blacks... So if we don't even take the BS from Trump seriously why should anyone else?
