not even remotely funny, in fact it doesn't make any sense to me whatsoever.

To say that you "aren't racist" now only because they are excellent athletes doesn't exactly send the right message. If anything, that's much worse. I don't care if he was trying to be funny.

I should freelance as a policartoonist and wow the crap out of the editors at the Daily Mississippian.

I think that was what the cartoonist was getting at... Kind of the "I have a black friend" argument...

He just chose a horrifically unfunny, confusing, and obfuscated way of conveying that sentiment.

Some people crack themselves up; the rest of us? Oh well.
