Do I have to be a racist to understand the context? Maybe because I've been a target it's hard too see why this is funny.

In what alternate reality is that racist? Aside from the fact that it's non-specific, how is it any different than saying something like "You're of the best students in the class." or "You're one of the best employees." Are genuine compliments now racist?

Its sad that his race is the first thing people jump to in that image instead of just thinking of them as just another person.

So instead of you're one of the good people in the world they jump to you're one of the good black people in the world.

That is because it is literally a common saying that black people have been told.

In short it means you are a good black person, everyone else is an N word. This is something that racist do when they met people of the race that they hate that don't fall into the stereotypes that they placed on them. He is good on, but the rest or still bad.

Thanks to you and the others for explaining. Im living in Asia and am not always so familiar with whats offensive in the West.

Oh shit, didn't suspect it was actually real. Thought it was more #FakeNews

At any rate, I assume it's an old strip that was made at a time when the phrase wasn't widely associated with overt racism.

That was bullshit episode, after they found out that dude was pretty racist, they didn't stop to think that maybe this job that he has us on.. isn't a good one. We might need to ask some questions or something .

Its racist if it includes a black person because the assumption is that youre singling out one from the group here. I mean you have to make the assumption that it has to do with skin color, to make the argument work though. It can not just be a compliment that you might intend for a specific friend or whomever.

People instantly think bad stuff because bad stuff is the only thing people care about so they have to dissect everything until they can make it bad. People have racist thoughts themselves and then make it a racist thing and get mad.
