Rich I'm a white man married to a black women with kids. My wife cracks jokes about blacks and whites and usually everything goes OK but like you said some people take it more seriously than others. I'm a school bus driver for a all black school also so I have to say I hate when folks get up tight about it, but I hope someday we ALL have a good laugh, anyway sorry to get off track. I think you did the right thing by saying sorry because most people don't realize how stupid and small it all is but we must be careful with jokes and hope for change. Class move.
