All,

So say that this has gotten out of hand is to put it mildly.

Okay, so Jared made a joke about "African Zazafroomonkies" and someone took
offense.

Cry the word racist, and suddenly everyone is walking on egg shells.

Face it - people have historically not always gotten along.

So Ikem then sent his heated worded reply insinuating that Jared's momma
raised him to be an "assh*le" and made "an educated" assumption that Jared
must be white.

How's that old saying go, don't assume because....

The worst thing that evolution ever did was give a bunch of dumb monkeys a
flawed intelligence.

So I now wish to leave this thread with one thought: DIE DIE DIE DIE

Ikem - angry words never solved any problem I've ever seen; I've only seen
it serve to further inflame the situation and yes, I've been on the
receiving end of racism myself thank you very much. A well articulated
discussion does far more good.

Jared - sarcasm and humor is a fine art that sometimes we master, sometimes
it escapes us; stick around it's worth it.

And since were on the topic of math here as well, here is my tip of the hat
to those numerically inclined:

1/2 Navajo + 1/2 Mexican = 1 Marty

Thank You,

An Unoffend Minority
