I love GOOD humor, but not BAD, HURTFUL humor..

To express disapproval about the distasteful nature of humor like this goes far beyond being PC..

For example of the harm done, there are enough rednecks that read message boards like this, bring it home to the kitchen table to their children, which then bring into their mind set.. So the little redneck emulating his parents grow up and keep prejudice alive.. Maybe the little redneck brings it to school, tells the joke within ear shot of black children, which do not laugh, but only grow more resentful..

It is easy to see the difference, for enlightened people I mean, when a line is crossed.. And this crossed that line...

Can you imagine if Trent Lott, Rush L. etal would have cracked that joke? What the Libs would have done to them by the written word.? And rightly so....

I guess humor is subjective. Mine is one helluva a lot different from that poster and from the likes of what I guess Strom Thurmond or Jesse Helm's is/was.

But it tells a lot about a person..
