Why has the world tagged Lewis Hamilton and Barack Obama as being black men, when they are clearly “mixed race or mixed heritage”? They both have a white mother or father and a black mother or father, which is clearly obvious in the colour of their skin.

Not being racist, but surely if you compare Danny Glover or Nelson Mandela or Michael Jackson before he became a white man through fiddling with little kids, then you’ll be able to tell a black person from a mixed raced person!

Surely the world is being racist by calling them “The first black …whatever”. Tiger Woods springs to mind as well. I wonder how they feel about it? You wonder why colour has to come into the equation?

I was watching the news last night and there was Sky News reporter Dermot Murnaghan standing in the middle of Hyde Park in Chicago (I think it was), surrounded by thousands of happy black people and he looked very awkward and you wonder why he was there (the only white face). Surely Sky News could have sent one of their top black presenters, who could have related a lot better to the circumstances, which begs the question, “Does Sky News have many black presenters?”.

But if you want a racist funny comment, then read the following BBC article on Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi. The guy has got a great sense of humour.

To my friends who enjoy a glass of wine or a pint of beer… and those who don’t.

As Ben Franklin once said: “In wine there is wisdom, in beer there is freedom, in water there are bacteria“.

In a number of carefully controlled trials, scientists have demonstrated that if we drink 1 litre of water each day, at the end of the year we would have absorbed more than 1 kilo of Escherichia coli, (E. Coli) - bacteria  found in faeces. In other words, we are consuming 1 kilo of poop.

However, we do NOT run that risk when drinking wine & beer (or tequila, rum, whiskey or other liquor) because alcohol has to go through a purification process of boiling, filtering and/or fermenting.

Remember: Water = Poop     Wine = Health

Therefore, it’s better to drink wine and talk stupid, than to drink water and be full of shit.

There is no need to thank me for this valuable information:  I’m doing this as a public service.

Thanks Mom for the email. I’ll remember this when drinking my beer.
