Two-thirds of all hate crimes as committed are done by dark skinned persons against whites.

Johnny Carson's "Tonight Show" from 1976 was rebroadcast tonight,on Antenna TV,with guest Flip Wilson.
Flip did a monologue and then joined Johnny and Ed McMahon by the desk.Carson says,"I'd like you to do this joke that you used to do from years ago..."
"I don't do those anymore Johnny,times have changed,what I could say back then,I couldn't say now."
"It's a great joke,Ed hasn't heard it,"Carson states.
"You haven't heard it?"Flip asks Ed.
"I don't think so."
"You want to hear it?"
"Yes I sure do."

"OKAY,I'll tell it."(audience laughs)
"A man had a parrot and one day he decided to sell the bird.He brought it to the pawn shop,completes the transaction,and as he was leaving he tells the owner,'Oh just one thing I forgot to tell you,the parrot does not like black people,so if you sell it to a black person,you should explain that to him beforehand."
"Right."
The man leaves.
A little while later,a brotha walks in.
"You got any parrots?"
"Yes,I do,but I have to explain his history..."
"Does he talk?"
"Yes,"replied the owner.
"Well he can explain his history to me when we get home."
He buys the parrot and off they go.
Black guy gets home,puts the parrot in a cage,goes into the kitchen and comes back.
"Polly want a cracka?"
The bird turns away.
Black guy moves to the other side.
"Polly want a cracka?"
Again,the parrot turns away.
Black guy moves in front of the parrot again.
"POLLY WANT A CRACKA?" he yells.
The parrot screams,"NIGGER WANT A WATERMELON?"
Johnny busts a gut,the audience roars.The nigger part was bleeped for today's audience,but not back then.
Johnny comes back after a commercial and says to Flip,"I really liked that joke,Polly want a cracker."
What he REALLY liked--as I did--was the punchline.
Hi yoooo.
