If that is what the guy said, it's not racist. It is obnoxious... Racism by definition is the belief that your race is superior to others.

Well, the "joke" loses its impact when you try to clean it up.

Here is a link to the exact quote

It is obnoxious.

However, the "I'll tell you what the coloreds want. It's three things: .... " is racist by your definition.

"We non-blacks want civilized things, of course. The black animals, on the other hand, only want three things, namely .... "

I didn't read the exact quote and nor do I care to. I just went by what one of the posters said. And from that, it wasn't racist. What YOU said would be called racist because it was based on language from the slave holding period over a hundred years ago that considered the black people nothing more than farm animals.

My point is racism by definition is used by blacks as a sledgehammer for anything these days. They would be well served if they reread the story of the girl who cried wolf.

Because quite frankly, the awful horror of institutionalized human slavery is being marginalized by the loose bandying about of the R word...
