Why do black people only have nightmares? Because the last one to have a dream got shot.
Would people being offended stop you from making jokes about black people?
I can't do that.
Black people have a difficult time already with a lot of injustice just based on their skin color and the way they tend to be portrayed by the media and by society, so it is hurtful to think people think that you are a criminal and should be shot. You would not like it if people implied that you were a criminal and should be shot based on your skin color.
