I believe that, even though he is black, the attack was out of bounds, and does more harm to race relations then helps. PS: I tell jokes about everyone, black, white, jewish (my Mom and her parents are jewish), all religions, blonds (I am one), you name it, I'll tell it. Though, they tend to be not cruel ones.

Good snarky writing. As a black person, its hard for him to be labeled a racist for talking about his own people. He's a bit much for me, since I'm more left of center than left of left... but entertaining. C'mon. I'm Jewish and I tell terrible Jewish jokes. I have heard that labeled "self hating" "anti-semitic" but in this day and age, no one else is allowed to tell them. So we do. You, as a white person, wouldn't want to write what Trey Ellis did. But he can. Is it "OK"? I don't know. Is it "OK" that I tell Jewish jokes? Hmm, Trey Ellis on a rant. Good snarky writing.
