The Reverend Jesse Jackson was holding a press conference
in the appliance department of a Sears store in Chicago.
He was there to protest the fact that all the washing
machines were white.
So the clerk called the store manager, who asked,
"What's the problem here, Reverend?" Jesse pointed
at the machines and loudly bemoaned the fact that all
of them were white.
The manager replied, "Well, Reverend, it's true that
all the washing machines are white, but if you'll open
the lids, you'll see that the agitators are black."
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Posted by: Elisson on October 14, 2005 11:46 AMJesse needs to come on down Texas to meddle in the latest farce of political correctness gone amok. The community of White Settlement, named after a group of Anglos who settled down in what was then Indian territory in the 1800s, has decided that the name might be considered racist and will consider a name change on the ballot next month.
White Settlement is 78% white, 13% hispanic, and 4% black. Perhaps "Mixed Settlement" will be the name voters will choose.

You're wrong about the history of White Settlement. It was named that in the 1800's because "George Bush didn't care about black people".
