    Making Racist Jokes on Facebook
    My question involves civil rights in the State of: Making a black joke such as saying what did the green grape say to the purple grape at night?... I cant see you

    Or a joke where I involve three people who may not want me to involcve them in like a joke about penises and satan and such things like three men are in hell?

    I know this is silly but I would just like to know just in case

    Your various posts on these boards indicate that you are intent on saying things to others that you know are offensive. Do you really want to be known as the sort of person who goes around offending others? Payback for that can get nasty. However, in the U.S. posting racially insulting jokes or otherwise insulting people online is not illegal. It may, however, violate Facebook's terms of service and you might lose your account. And, as I say, the payback you get from others could be quite nasty. Bear in mind that what you post online stays around forever. If future employers see your racial insults and other jerk like behavior you may find that they won't hire you or, if you are already hired, they may fire you. Ask yourself before you post if you would truly be comfortable if everyone you knew, including employers, friends, relatives, church members, or whatever, saw those posts. Because there is always that chance that someone you wouldn’t want to see it will indeed see it and you’d suffer the fall out. I’ve seen plenty of cases of people who have said things online they later regretted and suffered some kind of payback as a result of it.

    Nobody over the age of about 12 would say it.

    No, I wouldn’t. Nor do I know any intelligent, mature adults who would say those sorts of things either, especially online.
