I should know better — you win ;) Just give me ham on five, and hold the mayo.

But just a bit peeved.

You never ask to sit on *my* lap.

That’s not a hole.
It’s a sewer.

And sewers have ..... manholes.

Does Josh have a business in an African-American neighborhood? If so, local thugs are more than welcome to loot it.

Yup!

The good ol’ days... Haven’t watched Airplane since the early 80s. But we had it recorded on “betamax” and watched it religiously...

My friend and I must have gone to see it 5 times.

Laughed so hard we cried.

All those years ago, yet I’ll never be over Macho Grande.

They were all people of color, too. They’re not the only ones, either: People of color are disproportionately, and regularly, killed by police...

Somebody esplain this to me. They are 'people of color', But they're not the only ones and then the rest - only about people of color...who are the 'other' people and why doesn't Josh care about that?

The whole article is replete with code words, keys and racism: "Armchairs", "Clutch their Pearls" and whites' first-forays into social commentary on something about which they know nothing. To Josh's mind, you can't be down with the struggle or know anything unless you are queer or black. Come to think about it, why doesn't Josh include Hispanics in his clutch of victims?

The thesis of the article is that white people saying anything is racist BECAUSE they are white. In truth, Josh is racist for asserting that. And, I can't call him 'queer', or say 'thug' or 'black' or 'lazy' or anything about blacks and not be a racist. Perhaps he should think about his words and the words of his victims: breeders, tro's, whitey, honky, cracker, white bread, polar bear and so on.

Lastly,

If you value plate-glass windows more than you value the life of a person of color, you are being racist.

That's pretty typical from people who haven't worked and have taken the fruits of that work and made their lives better, bought a business to feed their family and establish a livelihood, or to become a value-added member of society and see it all disappear in a cloudy mob of racist violence because of 'racism'. In the end, it is all about the value-added instead of cost to placate.
