One day a plane was flying overseas until one of it's engines fails. The passangers realize that the plane is going down but the pilot ordered everyone to throw away any paperweight. The plane flew back up again until the 2nd engine failed. This time everyone threw out their luggage and once again, the plane stayed swiftly in the air. But when the 3rd engine failed, the pilot only had one desicion...
"We need to throw some passengers off to keep this plane up, so I'm calling by alphabetical order and raise your hand."
Everyone nodded. "Are there any African Americans here?"
No answer.
"Are there blacks on board?"
No answer
"Coons?"
A little boy looked at his dad and asked "Dad, are we African Americans?" The dad looked down at his son and replied, "No son, we are niggers, we're right after the Mexicans."
