You're welcome(and you're two for two now!!! And elsewhere-our planets must be aligned this week )
I would also like to point out that there are white comedians that do racially based humor-Robin Williams and George Carlin, for example-but they are beyond reproach because of their legendary status in the entertainment world.
'Institutionalized racism' is still here-it's called 'affirmative action'. And, until that is completely and irrevocably done away with, there will always be an edge that won't be gained by merits alone. Everyone has the same opportunities to ascend further than those who came before without having to resort to quota filling and 'playing the race card', yet, as Shakran pointed out, as humans, we're too stupid (or maybe too lazy) to figure it out, so we hand out the merits instead of saying "earn'em".
In the local paper tonight(I live in Rutgers-land), one of the players stated she was 'scarred for life'....give me a break....she's going to blame some old white guy on the radio now for any failure she might encounter????
What happened to standing tall and forging ahead despite another's comment or opinion?
