Essay Thirty-One

Knock! Knock!
Who’s there?
Two bad jokes masquerading as MultiCultClassics Minutes:

• Trinity International University evacuated its minority students in response to threatening, racist hate mail sent to three folks. Authorities caught the culprit — and it’s a Black female student! Turns out Alicia Hardin wanted to make her parents believe the school was dangerous, hoping they’d transfer her to Jackson State University. It probably would have been easier to win a UNCF scholarship. As former Vice-President Dan Quayle once flubbed, “What a waste it is to lose one’s mind. Or not to have a mind is being very wasteful. How true that is.” True dat.

• Stanford Douglas (a Black guy) shot and killed William Berkeyheiser (a White guy) because he allegedly heard the victim tell a racist joke seven years ago. Douglas refused to repeat the joke for detectives. So anyway, a Black guy and a White guy walk into a bar…
