- Why do all black people run fast?
Because all the slow ones are in jail
This one is interesting because it points out two things: it presents a stereotype and attributes it to another stereotype. Namely, that blacks are fast but only because those that you see are fast enough to escape punishment for their crimes.

- What did Abe Lincoln say after a 3 day drunk?
"I set WHO free?"
 No one cares for the black… but also at the same time somehow convinces you that today blacks are free, I mean they are apart from being jailed because of the prison-industrial complex, or disadvantaged and locked up in communities of violence, or any other consequence of anti-blackness.

His lips are moving.
Black persons testimony means nothing. You are presumed guilty.

Black folks are something which can easily be disposed of. They are treated as objects and nothing more.

How does a white cop help a black man lose weight while getting exercise?

They beat him till he's dead-weight.

Ahahaha. This joke shows two aspects of anti-blackness. One, how black bodies can be mercilessly killed for literally any reason by a white man, and how qualified immunity can be used to justify the wreck less killing of a black man.

Advocacy Text: We advocate for a limitation of qualified immunity to reduce the amount of anti-blackness in the world.

Role of the ballot : Whoever best deconstructs the power of qualified immunity
Role of the judge: is to vote for the team which best presents a way to deal with the tragicomedic life.
(Possible community building that comes from the psychological building.)

Humor allows for the articulation of black suffering in this anti-black world as a means to come to terms with reality and cope with a tragic-comedic life.

And, the current way qualified immunity is used allows for an easy get-away for Anti-Black actions, immunity if you believe what you did was right. ----It’s too easy to get away with.

Qualified immunity is...defendant’s conduct violated
Humorous mocking of the law can demystify it and reveal why policies fail, giving reason for a humorous affirmation.
