Every time... Every time black people want to have a good time, some ignant arse... [Bleep]

Such a classic episode.

"Oh man, am I a women?"

"If you're a racist, I will attack you with the North." And those are the principles that I carry with me in the workplace.

Bomb! Bomb! Bomb! Bomb! Come on, Olympics of suffering right here - Slavery vs. The Holocaust, come on!

Would you like some googi googi?

Did not watch a single episode of the office until about 4 years ago sat down to watch it based on recommendations from friends. This is the episode that had me hooked. It’s a shame that the episode is viewed by anyone as promoting racism. It’s clearly mocking it. What a joke.

Here I thought racism was over when they took the black lady off of the syrup bottle.

Abraham Lincoln once said “if you’re a racist, I will attack you with the North.”

And that is the attitude I carry into this office every day.

So now you can't even make fun of racism, which would seem to be within the narrative that racism is bad. Yay.

No, you must be thinking of how they CURED racism. It only still exists because some of the boxes of pancake mix haven't been destroyed.

They took the black lady off of the syrup bottle? What's next? Taking the eskimo off the ice cream bars?

I called this a long time ago, which is why I bought The Office DVD box set. It’s only a matter of time before it’s gone from Peacock. There are other stereotypes scattered throughout the series they’ll want to get rid of as well. RIP mainstream comedy

I keep saying it. Eventually every series will be re-edited or thrown into the Song of the South Vault. If it means a lot to you, buy it on physical media or find a way to download a copy they can't retrieve.

To be fair...Comedy Central is all over the place.

Sometimes they run an episode that is a 2 parter and don't play part 2. Just random episodes.

I'm not going to just jump on twitter outrage here.

How white people only are allowed on packages is less racist will never stop being funny to me.

I've started a thread on this once before but I still say Michael Scott unintentional racism is one of the funniest parts of the show.

- Do black people like pizza?
- Oscar we will use you come baseball season or boxing
- Michael putting up the cash on the wall and taking it down when Daryl walks by.
- IT guy terrorist
- Getting mad because Stanley can't dribble
- PING!!!



I mean the list goes on and on, but I laugh every single time at it.
