You didn't answer the question though.

Nope, you need to know the ideology is different than just being German…
A joke isn't bad because you do not understand it.

Hitler agreed with the Olympic medal committee that he wouldn't deal with any of the winners after the first day. According to Owens Hitler waved him over and there is some word of a photo existing of them together, but I'm not sure of the truth of that.
The photo Hitler sent him was actually a signed cabinet picture of Hitler himself.


Point being it was the Americans who screwed him over for years.

Interesting point of view. Where did you get the wave from ?

I understand the joke.
Having the same ideology as the Nazis is very different than just not liking Jews.
The Nazis had a complete social, political and cultural ideology. The woman just doesn't seem to want Jews at her dinner party. For years most Christians wouldn't have wanted to have Jews at their dinner parties. You're equating that with the Nazis when all it really is in a dislike of Jews and/or Judaism.
If you think just because a woman doesn't like Jews that they're a Nazi then you have a terribly grasp of both history and political theory.

A Nazi would hardly have wanted to host American soldiers at dinner.

There are neo-Nazis in the US who love the US. They hate Jews and blacks…

That's what the joke was about. Also, I think you knew that.

The learning animal thing is a famous saying by Cleveland Mark Blakemore, since he considers himself part of the proud Neanderthal race. It's supposed to imply not that other animals are smarter, but that humans are still just as stupid in many (most) ways.

As for your question, I would keep it to myself, cause the guy is likely a butthurt individual that wouldn't laugh, no matter how well-crafted or witty the joke itself is (the problem with you). If there was a cool guy standing next to him, I wouldn't hesitate to tell the joke, regardless if the legless guy can overhear it (your situation in this thread). It's the guy's own fault for being biased (your own fault), so why should I be forced to tiptoe around it?

We were talking about the Nazis, I assumed your joke was set in the 1930-40's.
Neo-Nazis actually tend to follow differing ideologies from old school Nazis. Some of them are quite close to what the Nazi's believed but most of them don't follow a Nazi ideology. So it's far more correct to say she had a Neo-Nazi ideology and even then the joke doesn't demonstrate that, she may merely have been a garden variety bigot.

The number of black people in Germany when the Nazis came to power is variously estimated at 5 - 25,000.[23][24] According to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, Washington, D.C., “The fate of black people from 1933 to 1945 in Nazi Germany and in German-occupied territories ranged from isolation to persecution, sterilization, medical experimentation, incarceration, brutality, and murder. However, there was no systematic program for their elimination as there was for Jews and other groups.”[25]
Prior to Hitler coming to power, black entertainers were popular in Germany, but the Nazis banned Jazz as ‘corrupt negro music’.[26] Mixed marriage and interracial sex became illegal, some blacks were used in medical experiments, and others mysteriously disappeared.[27] However, contrary to popular myth,[28] black American sprinter Jesse Owens', who won four gold medals beating Aryan athletes at the 1936 Berlin Olympic games, faced less segregation there than in the USA, and felt snubbed by Roosevelt rather than by Hitler (see Jesse Owens#Berlin Olympics).

The Nazis sought to immediately exterminate Jews and Romani, while blacks were to be segregated and eventually exterminated through compulsory sterilization.[12]

Even Nazi ideology according to Wiki at least :



They weren't very friendly with black people.

I think people like being "trolls", for a current lack of a better word in my mind, just because they have this anonymity.

Deconstructing retarded social norms is the best part of anonymity. That said, it wouldn't surprise me if you were in favour of turning the internet into a police state.

Actually the original plan for the Jews was not to kill them at all. It was to move them outside Germany, they only moved to extermination after that plan was judged to be impractical, it being the middle of a war and all.

In line with the way the rest of the world was treating black people Nazi Germany was doing all right over all. Mainly as the rest of the world was doing so badly, but still.

My point on the joke is that a Nazi ideology is not shown, merely a bigoted one. And bigots can be very selective over whom they…bigot(?) against.

I agree that the Finns and all others who were harmed should get compensated. There are many differences however.
First, the people weren't making fun of the Finns and the others.
Second, the other people weren't systematically put into camps and murdered.
Third, the other people didn't all get kicked out of their homes due to their religion (or even their grandparents' religion).


Other than that we agree. I think making fun of dead people is bad, but it's only natural it touches me in particular when other people make fun of people like me.

More than 20 million people died during the war, so it's not like Jews were the only one. But Finns or Russians weren't the ones stuck in ghettos and they're not the ones whose symbols are being made fun of in this thread.
