Bill D
Your personal verbal rules of ettiquet forbidding the reterating of black/Negro humor reminds of the politically correct people 30 years ago who insisted that WHITE people should under no circumstance repeat jokes by black humorists including Bill Cosby and other clever commentators "who happen to be black". "lol"

Whatever harm that may come from misunderstading among peoples who have endured great strife as a result of ethnic bias and predjudice, I believe that we all can share and repeat the words and ideas of all people - especaily when it humorously outlines the awful truth of the human condition.

To stand only upon the shoulders of your own race, color and creed is an antiquated and dihescent notion.

Object if you must but be objective enough to realize that artificial boundaries of communication based on the race of the speaker is absurd and in the ling view cause more harm than good.

Bill I am sure you had other intentions by your objection to black humor yet I am equally confident that you understand my belief in the universal power of truth especially when conveyed by humor.


haruumph harummph, mild applause...muffled tittering.
