Goofy. And I don’t know why I feel compelled to post these. But it just seemed too funny to pass up given the blitz massage the other day. And I mean … whoever said ‘race relations’ weren’t just dandy in the US. But then again, it’s not fair to make fun of alcoholics. So this should be viewed as an unwitting commentary on the plight of the African-American minority. Despite monumental efforts to gloss over the civil strife and paint the US as a multicultural haven with great ethnic finesse or whatever. No, this just reeks from condescension.
