Racism is not funny no matter who says it. If this questionnaire was put out in a "white" mainstream figure ten kinds of hell would raised. Can someone explain why it's funny if it's put out by a black man? Perpetuating racist stereotypes do nothing but help re-enforce those stereotypes and deepen the racism so rampant in our country.
