[lil_dcb7]

I heard that there was this one scene where the black family members said a whtie joke, and then as soon as the white guy said a black joke, the black guys didnt find it too funny.

I saw the film and it was really funny I mean ashton and bernie mac? Too damn funny for words. I remember one of the black jokes I am not discriminating here just helping the guy out there are three things a black man can't get a black eye, swollen lip, or a job.

So, what, they don't have any available
young black men in New York anymore?



They just ran out last week, Grandpa.



I'm just trying to figure out
why you chose to go this way.



- Don't mind him.
- It's okay.



My grandmother loved you
when she first met you.



But later she said some things.
I was like, "Wow, Grandma."



- What kind of things?
- Yeah, what kind of things?



Nothing. Just things.



- Such as?
- Yeah, such as?



- Daddy? I got it.
- I know.



You know what?
You're gonna laugh when you hear this.



She said that Theresa was a very pretty girl.



- That's so nice.
- Good taste.



So I ask her
what she liked about you the most, right?



She said...



She says, "I just love
her cute, little, nappy little head."



- Your grandmother, where does she live?
- Brooklyn. Why?



I just wanna know how far I'd have to travel
to kick her old white ass, that's why!



Grandpa.



You don't call my grandchild
no nappy head!



Did she say that while putting on a sheet
for the Klan rally?



Settle down, now! Hand me the butter.



- My grandmother's not a malicious woman.
- No, she's not.



She's . She comes from a different time.



I'm and I come from a different time.



You don't hear me calling white folks
honky and flat-ass!



- Casper.
- Cracker.



- Ofay.
- Peckerwood.



- Wonder bread.
- Bird shit.



Bird shit?



It's almost white.



That's pretty good.



Howard. Percy!



It's okay.



I'm really sorry
about what my grandmother said...



but there are some people
you're just never gonna change...



- as much as you'd like to.
- Yep.



I can tell you this. Last Thanksgiving...



my Uncle Dave said a black joke
at the table, right?



So I said, right in front of the whole family,
"Look, that's inappropriate.



"We're not gonna have it."



I think that's how you change people.
You just gotta attack it one at a time.



Exactly.



What was the joke?



Excuse me?



Tell the joke.



- I don't remember it.
- Sure you do. Tell the joke.



- Really, I don't remember it. It was...
- Dad.



Chicken.



- Excuse me?
- I didn't stutter.



Okay, you know what? I'll tell the joke.



- No, Simon. You don't...
- Baby, it's okay.



I'll tell you why.



Because by not telling the joke,
I'm empowering it. Right? So I'll just...



tell the joke and expose
how simple-minded...



and crude and unfunny it actually is.



What do you call...



What do you call black men...



buried in the ground up to their neck?



- What?
- Afro-Turf.



- That's cute.
- What are you laughing at?



- It's cute.
- Cute don't make it funny.



Tell another.



- Dad, no.
- Let the man tell a joke!



I don't know any other ones.



Obviously, I've heard other black jokes,
but I think I've proven my point.



So it's okay to empower the other ones?



Okay. I see what you're doing here,
you're putting me on the spot.



It's okay. Look, it's fine.
'Cause I'm not gonna back down.



Back down, Simon.



The only way to break down barriers
is to have everything out in the open.



- Right?
- Exactly.



So, what do you call...



one black man being chased
by white men?



- What?
- The PGA Tour.



I get it.



Tiger Woods. There it is.



That's good.



Tell another one.



How do we know that Adam and Eve
weren't black?



How?



You ever try to take a rib away
from a black man?



That's pretty good.



- That's pretty good.
- I wouldn't take one from you, I know that!



- You chewing it down to the bone.
- That's a good one.



- He's a rib fan.
- Don't try.



- Tell more.
- Okay.



- Why don't black people like country music?
- Why?



'Cause every time they say "hoe-down,"
they think someone shot their sister.



You gonna be all right?



That is so true.



- That's a tailored joke for you.
- Why I gotta be a ho?



Ain't nobody talking about you.



- It's a sister joke!
- You're sisters.



I'm not the "ho sister."



Come on now. Can't stop now, baby.



What are three things
that a black man can't get?



What is that he can't he get?



A black eye, a fat lip, and a job.



I tell you I'm going to kick this boy's ass!



- Grandpa.
- No, it's...



We know you can take him,
but just sit down. Be nice. Come on.



- Come on, now. It's a joke.
- That's right, Daddy.
