Hi Ann,

 

Though I didn't send this joke .. still your post is not specifically

addressed to any one person so I reckon I can reply.

Just goes to show that some folks see things in accordance to their mind

set. I didn't think it was hilarious but I don't see it as racist.

 

I would not have sent such a joke because I know that there are people

on this and other lists who won't hesitate to show their discontent with

events in general by attacking or criticizing comments they can in any

way relate to such events.

 

As for a joke being racist, insensitive or unacceptable for this or that

reason .. normally what some prefer to call " Political Correctness, " I

challenge you and anyone else on this list to find a joke that someone

can not find fault with. Be it animals or birds or trees or whatever,

we will find someone who just lost a pet or talks to trees will get all

jacked out of shape. It might be a situtation of degree of sense of

humor .. or perhaps a lack thereof.

 

You had your say .. and I said mine. :-) Butch
