A plane was about to crash in the pacific ocean, so the pilot dumped the cargo to try to make the plane lighter but the plane was still going down. Then, the pilot got on the intercom and asked for volunteers to jump, but no one volunteered. So the pilot got on the intercom again and said, "lets do this alphabetically" he then said "african americans", a black boy stood up and his father made him sit back down. The pilot said "blacks", the boy stood up again but his father pushed him back down. The pilot said "colored people", the boy stood up once again and his father pushed him back into his seat again. The boy finally asked his father "why aren't we standing up"? The father said "son, today we're niggers."
