Joke leaves em gasping

[Bart]

Is this going to be a year of constant white groveling? It's only a very mild joke.

A Greeley businessman apologized Wednesday after a joke about Illinois Sen. Barack Obama fell flat during the National Western Stock Show's annual Citizen of the West banquet.


William R. Farr was pretending to read telegrams congratulating this year's award recipient, University of Colorado President Hank Brown, when he pulled out a piece of paper and said, "I have a telegram from the White House."


Then he added, "They're going to have to change the name of that building if Obama's elected."


Witnesses said they could hear people gasp in the ballroom of the Adam's Mark Hotel.


"I gasped," said Gov. Bill Ritter, who was sitting at the table with Farr.


Mayor John Hickenlooper said, "I don't think he (Farr) intended any mischief or malice, but it was inappropriate."


Afterward, Farr said he regretted making the remark and apologized to anyone offended.


"I apologize for that," Farr told a reporter as soon as the banquet ended.


"I mistook it to be humorous, but it was something I shouldn't have said."


Farr, a member of a pioneering Colorado ranching family, also said he regrets detracting from an evening intended to honor Brown, a longtime friend.


"All that I can say about that is that it was unfortunate and most inappropriate," said Albert Yates, a former president of Colorado State University, who is black. "Even though Bill Farr is a friend, there's just no way to defend what he said.


"I think it was uncalled for and atrocious," said U.S. Sen. Ken Salazar, who was also in attendance.

What a way for Yates to treat a "friend." He simply could have said something like "it was probably a bit inappropriate in that formal setting, but he was just trying to make a harmless joke." But he has to say "there's no way to defend what he said, most innappropriate etc. etc. He basically has thrown his "friend" under the bus for a mild joke. Very few blacks can be true friends of whites when race comes up. They're taught from birth solidarity to their race and suspicion of white people.

A white person must never -under any circumstances- make light humour of someone's colour. Why? Because all others already feel inferior to whites and drawing attention to it just makes it worse.

I agree with you, ToughJ and Maple Leaf.

A very true observation that American blacks won't admit to, yet African blacks and other non-white foreigners will. An African actress, who was stadning between me and another white male, said she felt very powerful standing next to two white men.

I know Arabs who feel it too - the awe of white civilization. All anyone has to do is just look around at what the white man has imagined: We have airplanes, space travel, split second communication, computers, etc.

This is why things have gotten so bad. White men reduced to "gasping" pitiful cowards.

Exactly...turned into candy@$$, sniveling pantywaists from the constant barrage of (Globalist Elite funded/mandated) quasi-socialist propaganda "disguised" as political correctness. Too much BS "pop culture" and not enough studying/researching for true history and the real facts...a nation of sheep indeed!
