Harry,
Using your logic, the name of your only boat, Yo Ho, is racist.

One is a prostitute. How can you tell which one is the prostitute? Hold
on...... You're gonna love it... It's the one with the little sticker
that says... I - DA - HO

Is that one of the racist jokes you tell in the integrated Fairfax County
schools, scumball?

Since when was being a whore a matter of race or skin color?

Seems like Krause is associating whores with blacks, making *him* the racist
one.

But we already knew that. ;-)

******************

The racist portion of the joke wasn't the reference to prostitution, it
was the need to use the stereotypical accent and slang associated with
African Americans (ebonics) to make a very poor pun.

Litmus test: Could JohnH tell that joke to a class of mixed race
teenagers while subbing at a public school and expect there to be no
reaction? (Beyond the predictable lack of laughter, of course).

Give me a fricken break Chuck.....and lighten up.

Almost as funny as John's "joke".

BTW, "lighten up", is that a racist remark? (kidding!)

If you are referring to Michael Jacksons dream, it would be. ;-)

See earlier post. JohnH would probably get nasty feedback from parents of *all*
ethnicities for telling an 'off color' (or any other) joke in the classroom.
