Sh*t we say to each other

For the last few weeks a slew of videos have been passed around the internet about "shit [insert ] say," or "shit [insert] say to [insert]." Some people hate them, saying they perpetuate stereotypes. Other people love them, saying they are funny truths about what they experience and know. 

I love them. I think humor is healing and humor is a great teaching tool. White people are the butt of a lot of the jokes. I'm guessing many people never knew until watching the videos that their words or behavior is offensive. 

See for yourself:
