You can't live on assumptions!!!

LS said that it was an email that had a million other email recipients prior....

IMO it was a 'standard joke' email that gets forwarded to everyone in your address book....

I really honestly didn't see anything offensive in it at all....

For me it was a bit like reading a real McCoy joke!!! Nothing more nothing less....

Seriously 1stP - if one of your black friends sent that to you, wouldn't you have laughed????

Besides - from LS's perspective it was sent to her by a friend.... unless the characteristic of this friend has changed dramatically in recent weeks I can see no reason why LS would need to question this person's friendship!

IMO It was a joke....
Laugh!!!!
