I got this this morning and it is one of my all time favorites.

A woman walks into the downtown welfare office, trailed by 15 kids.

'WOW!' the social worker exclaims. 'Are they all yours?''



'Yep, they are all mine,' the flustered momma sighs, having heard that

question a thousand times before. She says, 'Sit down Leroy.' All the

children rush to find seats.



'Well,' says the social worker, 'then you must be here to sign up. I'll

need all your children's names.'

'Well, to keep it simple, the boys are all named 'Leroy' and the girls

are all named 'Leighroy'.'

In disbelief, the case worker. 'Are you serious? They're ALL named

Leroy?'



Their momma replied, 'Well, yes-it makes it easier. When it's time to

get them out of bed and ready for school, I yell, 'Leroy!' An when it's

time for dinner, I just yell 'Leroy!' an they all comes a runnin. An' if

I need to stop the kid who's running into the street, I just yell Leroy'

and all of them stop. It's the smartest idea I ever had, namin' them all

Leroy.'



The social worker thinks this over for a bit, then wrinkles her forehead

and says tentatively, 'But what if you just want ONE kid to come, and

not the whole bunch?'





'Then I call them by their last names.'

    DEFFINITION OF RACISM:
    1. The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others.
    2. Discrimination or prejudice based on race.

    Not really sure where any of this came into place.......... :ohwell:

    It is only racist in your mind because you have preconceived notions about a certain group of people. Which in fact would thereby make you racist, would it not?!
