Jokes That Hurt

A joke is anything that has humorous intentions. In this way jokes are humor. Jokes are a great and powerful tool that can be used to make people laugh and feel great about themselves. They are great when heard at large comedy clubs from famous comedians or when sitting at the dinner table with your family. But like most things that can be used for good, jokes have a dark side. Although most of the jokes we tell and hear on a regular basis are said with good intentions, certain kinds of jokes can inspire prejudice and hate. These are primarily those jokes that target a certain group in a negative way; these jokes include blonde jokes, sexist jokes, gay jokes, black jokes, and really any joke that targets a certain race of people. These sorts of jokes are rampant in modern-day society and are harmful to the groups they are about.
