While the page is dedicated to being humorous, it has done so in a completely racist way. Now I don't want everyone believing that I am offened by anything that might be considered as racist but I'm getting sick and tired of people saying that americans only care about themselves and that we are all important. To me this is no longer just poking fun but really hitting below the belt. I don't know maybe I'm just venting because I've been classified as being a racist just for being an average white middle class male. I'll get off my soap box now.

Tec: I'm fairly certain the US has quite a few different races in it...

Like the Indy500, the CocaCola 9 hundred million, and quite a few others. Go Earnhardt! Or something.

Tec: You say you don't get offended by anything considered racist? Then you truly ARE a racist. And stating that americans are an own race, well that's priceless.

Nimrod, what I meant by not being offened by most things racist was racist comments towards whites. I personally feel that there is no place for racists anywhere.

Yo, dude, you're looking too deep into this. It's funny. It's not an online lynching and cross-burning.
Put your fingers on either side of your mouth. Now, pull up and out slowly. Open mouth slightly, and you're smiling! Is it not better that bitching?

I am truly sorry if my actions have seemed to be attacking this odvious abstract humor. I am just extremely tired both mentaly and physcically. I have spent the last week feeling like I've been attacked in one of my courses just for being white. There have been many times that I have felt this way some for being white and others for being american. I do understand that there are many americans who this article fits to a tee. But even humor reaches the point where it can actually be taken by some as close enough to the truth. I am proud and lucky that I was able to grow up here. Most of the time I am able to take these jokes that poke fun at us americans and laugh with them, and at other times I'm just to worn out to care. This is just one of those times. Again I am sorry.
