Do tell Pmos...............
Gardner is too smart (or the joke too stupid

Do tell Pmos...............
even my giraf joke was more clever pmos ahah.... sorry... couldnt resist the opportunaty to shed light on my own contribution....
Ummm, I can't drive to my favorite beach without passing a BILLBOARD the .... put up. Yes, they still exist in my part of the world, and they aren't racist because I believe they are. I have a friend from years ago who is a white power skinhead, he's in a skinhead band and travels around the world trying to recruit more kids to "the movement". Again, his actions have nothing to do with what I think of them. Racism is alive and well, and these are just the "holy crap I didn't think people were really still that racist" kind of racism. I could possibly understand a dismissal of institutionalized racism, environmental racism. Maybe even a belief that racial discrepancies in law enforcement are just coincidence or that the anti-immigrant fervor sweeping some states really is just about law-and-order instead of racism. But when you have people that have racist tattoos, wear racist clothes, create racist art, put up racist billboards, and target people of color with violence and harassment, how can you dismiss that as anything other than what it is?Racism still exists because there are people who think everything is racist.
How about a rule that all comments have to include a joke too?
