Let me see if I have this right: according to these two women, it now might be inappropriate for US to laugh at ANY jokes told in the presence of blacks IN CASE the joke might offend them for some reason?

You're pretty close to the truth, i'm sad to say. On the other hand, it is only the blacks who have a voice in these thing who get to decide. The other 88% or so don't get to play. It is very sad to see what has happened in our lifetimes. It seems that there are always folks around who get to decide how black americans can think, behave and conduct their lives.

I say to those 88%, kick their asses to the curb. Get on with it. Life is good for free people.
