hehehe...
Just so everyone knows what page I'm on, I have a very good mentor that has dedicated his life's work to defending discrimination in a legal arena. I've counseled with him on many different occasions. So I'm not just pulling stuff outta my ass. (I also use a huge amount of common sense)
I'm able to make redneck (dumb white guy) jokes as well as arab jokes, etc... with the best of them. But that does not make me a racist. Whether some people understand that concept or not, there is a huge difference between true racism and harmless jokes. If there weren't, the world wouldn't be worth living in.
I understand that there are and always will be people who will forever be unable to distinguish between the two, and it must be a sad reality that they live in... but I can no more clear the fog from their minds than I can from nasty fuckers that want to kill innocent people.
That's something that must be done from within.
