Everything I just said flew right over your noggin'. You read what I wrote incorrectly, please re-read it again. For future reference you need to read posts thoroughly before commenting.
I wrote "freedom of speech DOES mean"...notice how there's no "NOT" after "DOES"?

It's fine, but even if you don't like what someone is saying you should still read the whole post. In my case if you had, you'd have known the point and stance being made even if there HAD been a typo.
Either way, best of luck to you.

I've never had this long of a discussion having to explain how something doesn't exist in what I have wrote.

The Joke, once more (slight edit)
I'm an American, and I'm not racist and neither are any of my friends or my extended family. To prove it, I can tell you honestly that the best man at my own wedding was black and if anyone present so much as whispered the N word, everyone else would have had his back, and he was the only black guy there.
His name was Leroy and we even offered fried chicken on the buffet and no one said anything or gave him so much as a second glance when he helped himself to seconds.

I say "was" only because, for reasons that I cannot really fathom for the life of me, we didn't see too much of good 'ol Leroy after that. In fact the last time I saw him face to face was the very day of the wedding...
Explains Joke: You see, only when the day comes in America, and around the world, that it becomes needless even to draw the distinction in recognition that everyone's a person regardless within the context of the "relativity of human being" will every trace of racism vanish in the twinkling of an eye.
What's FUNNY is the inability to get the joke before the joke get's us, in recognition and epiphany at the utter absurdity of racism at every level no matter how subtle.

People are far too stupid to achieve this.

Hopefully this is not a derailment.
Quick show of hands...who here finds this to be racist?

Agreed...I myself am still in tears over how funny it is but I have seen some pretty "unreasonable" points of view over the last few days and was merely curious.
Thank you for your answer.
