Well, it's too f**king late for that mate. It's out there. And we're all going to have to live with the consequences.
It's mad threads like this which bugger my writing schedule.
Night all!
Well I'm bailing this party. I'm with Mr Murphy. All religion and racism in any form sucks.
But as I abandon this thread I'll leave you with this image, which despite my liberal leanings, made me laugh PROPER loud. Probably just because of the expression.

Typical. The white pug oppressing the black pug. As it always has been and forever will be.
oh, are we getting onto blacks now?

Blacks.

Shut up! 
it's less than 3 hours since I put up this thread and there's more than 300 posts, hahahaha that's a larf in itself
Bloomin' 'eck, that took a lot of reading.
Going back to the original post, it's a shit joke but I'm not so bothered by that. What bothers me more is that the thread was titled "Racist joke thread". Despite bushbaby's protestations, what is that other than an invitation for people to make further posts stirring up hatred?
It's an interesting message board that closes threads and bans members for creating admittedly irritating but ultimately harmless new threads about fishing, but does nothing about one designed purely to spread hate based on race, nationality or religious belief. If only there were laws against that sort of thing!
*oh, hang on... I've just discovered there are*
I don't know if bushbaby is a racist, but I've seen enough on this thread and others for me to form an opinion that she is a racist. I only wish I had a choice about whether my taxes went to the support of racists, but that's one price of living in this lovely country.
The idea of boundaries and race/taste in humour is a great one for debate and there have been threads about this in the past. Why not add to an existing thread (as others have been told to recently)? And anyway, this isn't an original joke written by bushbaby on which she seeks feedback is it? What's it doing in Critique?
So, in the spirit of the BCG, it is on the latter point that I will of course be reporting the original post.

Heil!
BB I guess the answer is if you wrote the joke yourself put it in critique, if not don't worry and don't do it again.

For all YOU know, tonight could have been THE ONE NIGHT where I was ASKED to come up with a VERY IMPORTANT JOKE for THE PRIME MINISTER and now I've gone and emailed him the one about the IMMIGRANTS and the GIROS.
