I just saw a commercial for fried chicken and, for reasons I won't go into but which probably aren't entirely what one might initially suspect, it caused me to wonder the following: do you think that, at any point in history, a black guy and a sympathetic white guy conspired to demonstrate the point that, though blacks were once sometimes said to be morally inferior to whites, they aren't necessarily different from whites in any aspect other than skin color by having the black guy pretend to be a KKK member (they wouldn't be able to tell he was black because of the robe/mask) and have the white guy paint himself black of whatever, and have the rest of the KKK insist that the guy who was really black was morally superior to the guy who was really white, then show them who they really were? I bet the KKK members would've just gotten mad at the black guy for lying to them.
Also, wouldn't it be funny if, from now on, every TV show that was airing a tape of a Frenchman speaking in French would have the translator be a little girl, to make fun of the French for acting like a bunch of little girls?
