More "thoughtcrime"

[Henry M]

I really enjoyed this joke. (No Sarcasm Intended) In fact, I'll 
forward it to some of my friends. My only problem is with the 
"wrapper." 

I continue to reconsider these issues, and find that RACE is really 
the issue with ebonics and these jokes. And with Jew jokes. A-and 
genetic predisposition is the point of most misogynist jokes. These 
people can't help being the stupid or cheap/devilish people that they 
are! So jokes about them aren't as funny as jokes about the south. I 
don't see the powers that be or any of the media suggesting that ALL 
Southerners are genetically inferior. (on the other hand...)
