Is this a RACIST joke?

[kaylar]

Have you ever read Donald Grey Barnhouse? He has a interesting section somewhere in his “Romans” books about how “spiritual” words are misused. His Romans set is four big books, no idea where to find that section :-( but I remember it got me to thinking about how words that once had religious/theological overtones have degenerated into slang : Adorable, awful, terrible, and so forth.

Saying anything against a non-white is racism.

EXACTLY!

Sad, but in some circles absolutely true.

Agree with your points. For the most part, the spelling and grammar at FR is better than the net average IMO. But it is really disheartening how many spelling/grammar/FACT errors are showing up in print matter-including college textbooks. It makes me think of the descriptions I’ve read of ages of decadence .

Oh,can I join too! I hate the grammar, punctuation errors, and bad usage on here. And don't get me started on 'leet speak'.

Heh! I must be papparacist then. I think I started it all with this:

Japan warns that North Korea may fire missile at U.S. on Independence Day

Has anyone considered the fact that a nuke strike on Hawaii would delete any evidence of a certain COLB?

This is NOT a racial joke. It could be a truthful statement though.

No, I haven't ... but I think I have the gist of the concept ... I'll note his name.

Thanks

And the funny thing is that Obama is not black, he is merely a dark Arab. Someday all the fools out there will know this, but since they are so able to deny reality (think Global Warming, think Free Health Care, think Liberals are Smarter) they will probably have no problem denying this.

I don't like the Kenyan either, but that piece of inboxer mythology is just stupid. Obama's father was a LUO, who are not Arab, nor mixed Afro-Arabs. So he is half-black or "halfrican" as the case may be.

You certainly may. Welcome! You will now be able to access all the tools of the CCPC. If you do not already own a Gregg manual, you will be shown a link where to buy one. And all possible errors should be checked at The Free Dictionary. Their thesaurus helps a lot too. ;-D

And to Post #33: Sigh...

That would be to Post #40: Sigh...

How about we have a set of Cancun jokes fashioned after the old Knock Knock jokes?

[Old Professer]

If your dun shooting you kin leave.

Speaking of shooting, here is a perfect example of what calex posited and an incorporation of a prize-winning collection of malaprops as well:

Here is a great cartoon by Awesome Possum to accompany the “racist” joke.
