... And, as a matter of fact, many white people do use those words as jokes, even in the presence of "African Americans" and great fun is had by all. It is a really silly and awkward social standard, and absolutely deserves to be made fun of...
A little comment from Europe...
I don't know what have provocated this discussion, but here oversea we can find good jokes or bad jokes. Overall, humour prevails sometime, or not other times... Humorists on TV for instance don't make as much jokes about that than in the past (1980-1990) and visible consequences are notably a lot of hypocrysis and incomprehension coming back. "Politicaly correct" takes place !
... Besides, I perhaps inverted the cause and the consequences: I think most of these humorists have been calm down because of hypocrysis and so (from channels directors for instance).
"What is forbidden" or censored is often thus cause of a problem and an incomprehension from the person(s) who raise their voice regarding the matter.
Hypocrysis is the more common factor we may find out behind the phenomenon, and surely the worst.
... That said, please meet ball:
