" The people whose posts are featured here are the comedians, not the jokes. " Like I said, you make it offensive. If there was a sub with black standup comedians like Dave Chappelle would it still be racist, like /r/blackpeoplestandup ? Can't I enjoy black (ebonic?) humor without being racist?
The difference is that a comic is clearly trying to be funny. Twitter users aren't always trying to be funny, and if you're laughing at something for saying something stupid, that's not the same as laughing with a guy who made a joke. You can enjoy any jokes you like, you just don't get to laugh at black people making comments on social media and pretend it's not racist.
