Those 2 jokes, it was a black guy that taught me. Perhaps in your cruzade agaist racism you are doing it wrong!
I just don't find those jokes very funny. Sorry but there it is.
Glad you replied in the negative though!
And I'm not a crusader either.
A man is born to a virgin mother, lives, dies, comes alive again and then disappears into the clouds to become his Dad. How likely is that?

You figured that out for yourself? By the negative, you say?
I was hoping with a bit of jesting you could see the ridiculous of your position... Oh well...

??? I really don't get what you are saying to me. Can you explain in a way I can understand?

Sure, I can give it a go!
Listen, suppose that that lady did put that doll in the window for the most evil racist mindset, the question is, should she be charged of any crime? I say no, and here's why: free speech is not negotionable. I can't agree with one's absurdities, but I'll defend one's right to do so.
When I look at insults, I think the one that said them is the dishonored. At what point the simple colour of a man's skin bacame taboo, when did a trait became insult? Racism is prolonged by those that are (ofc), but also for those that want to defend from it fundie style. Simply because they keep giving attention to those silly things.

Thank you for a clearer explanation of where you're coming from.
You make the same point about free speech that others have made and you've followed this thread so you know I will say that we have a law in our country making it illegal to racially harass people. I happen to agree with that.
Racism is an evil, in my opinion, and should be tackled head-on whenever and however it occurs.

It isn't evil... The people who are racist are usually either stupid or misguided.

They may be both of those...and also be evil.
