God has a sense of humor

sam_gamgeeThis is one of those times when I think that God *has* to have a sense of humor. (Other examples being the platypus and my dog.)
This "Boondocks" comic strip was in the Sunday, January 9th, edition of The News Journal (and, I'm sure, various other papers around the nation). It caused quite a stir and there were many "Letters to the Editor" objecting and saying McGruder was evil and whatnot. Then, finally, a couple people were like, "Calm down. Look at his other comic strips - he does it to *everybody*, including black people. And I'm one of those 'white people' that was depicted and I find no offense in the strip."
And then I see this month's cover of "Running Times" and see the white people running in the snow in shorts.
