I admit it. I never thought that I would ever single out anyone of a particular skin color. I have always accepted people no matter where they come from, and their skin color hasn't been a factor in telling whether somebody is of good character. That is the way I was brought up. However, like millions of others, the election of Trump has brought out the racist in me. I can no longer say that color is not a factor. I never thought I would ever say one color is worse or better than another color, but I really do have a very poor opinion of orange.

(3,491 posts)funniest lines to me was when he walked on stage and the first thing he said was, "I'm prejudiced." After an uncomfortable pause with a few nervous laughs from the audience, he delivered the punchline, "I hate white people."
Back in the mid-70s when I saw this, it was a line with much shock value. 40 plus years laters, as a white man, I echo his sentiment, only I'm not joking.
