Very funny, unfortunately it is also ... over the line. "nappy headed" is and always has been used as a racist slur by those who are of that persuasion. I know you didn't mean it that way, but it's one of those things that just has to be avoided, even as part of a joke. That's even more true now as the psychos have proven that they can "bring down" major media types by hyping any slip that they make. Media Matters and the rest of the Soros inquisition are out to get folks like us and we have to be extremely careful not to give them ammunition.
But it is funny.
There are things that we shouldn't do or say because they are offensive to people who we don't mean to offend. yes that's PC, but it's also being considerate of others. My grandparents (including my namesake, who died before I was born who was also the sheriff of Neshoba County Mississippi for one term in the depression and got kicked out because he wouldn't tolerate the Klan) wouldn't have approved. My other grandfather, a BIA agent, would use the phrase (which my mom also used) "you smell like an Indian" when I'd come back from scouting trips after standing around a camp fire. That wasn't an insult in any way, shape or form. It was the simple truth from his experience. He would also catch me up by the hair if he thought for an instant that I was being condescending or insulting to anyone from The Nations. My grandmothers would both just have looked disapprovingly at me, which would have been far more devastating. That's what I'm drawing on, not the current doctrine of political correctness.
The Don * bit is hilarious, however.
sorry about Don *...but your memoriam CRACKED ME UP!!!
