I have a very thin skin for racist comments and I don't think you made a scratch. There is a big difference between a mean joke with the purpose of demeaning him and jokes that just states the situation of the first black(half) reach his position. Obama himself sets the tone, his reference to look for a dog that would be a 'mutt' like him, his jokes with Michael Steele, he dropped the pressure about being strictly 'politically correct' and keep it 'Saturday Night Live' .
You will know a racist joke when you hear one and there are plenty out there, not this one in my opinion.

ElLagarto	Posted Jul 26th, 2009 at 1:37PM "You'll see a black man become President when pigs fly." Kids, the joke is not inherently racist, it's just really stupid and un-funny. Rated: +9Vote for this!
LaBrujaha	Posted Jul 26th, 2009 at 1:38PM it's not racist, it's politically & culturally ignorant. Barack Obama is not the only black president and not the first -- only in the USA. what i find humorous is that black americans are so proud of obama being black that they forget he's only half black and his black father wasn't an american.

PlaiduhPus	Posted May 20th, 2009 at 5:33AM I think it's funny that no one seems to get it. That makes it all worth it. Rated: +4Vote for this!
emotional	Posted May 17th, 2009 at 1:18PM Not racist, but doesnt make sense. Pigs will fly refers to an event that will never occur. Obama's election occured therefore pigs did not fly. Rated: +2Vote for this!

underconstruction	Posted May 17th, 2009 at 7:00PM You are not funny, and you can´t spell. But what else is new ? That´s a side effect of inbreeding. Rated: +2Vote for this!
Duana	Posted May 20th, 2009 at 5:32AM yes, you are right- it's ironically funny if taken in the right spirit. There is no racism in it at all. But I think some people might think there is because of the long history of the oppression of blacks. After the joke you should have said 'cheers to Obama'- that would have put it in the right perspective. Rated: +2Vote for this!
hobolady	Posted May 20th, 2009 at 5:32AM I got this one but it went like: They said the U.S. would elect a black president when pigs fly... have you seen the papers lately? Swine Flu and it caught me off guard and I thought it was funny. As someone said above, I also have a very THIN skin for racist things and I don't think it is racist, it is a pun. I am confused why people are mentioning he is half black an asserting that it has some bearing on things... what does that matter and why does his dad being African matter? That confuses me but eh...
