    "Monday" is racist?

    I was watching Def Comedy Jam last night and comedian named Russell Peters(who is very funny usually), was on. He is an Indian, from the country, not Native American.

    He told a story about being in Boston recently and mentioning to a white guy there that he was doing Def Comedy Jam.

    The white guy says,"That's for Mondays isn't it?"

    RP is confused and asks what a monday is.

    The white guy says it's a black person.

    "Why do you call black people mondays?"

    "Because, everyone hates mondays."

    He used this "joke" as an example of the new "sneaky racism" of white people.

    I've never heard this before and I'm as white as they come.

    So is it a white thing I missed out on?

    Is it a Boston-New England white thing?

    Or is this guy just stirring up trouble between races that he doesn't really belong to?

    ACK!

    I think its just supposed to be a joke.

        I would agree with you except it was Def Comedy Jam, 90-95% of the audience was black.

        And he talked about the white man's secret racism before he told the joke and used it as an example, I can believe it is a regional thing, but I have no proof of it, but I know it's not a white man thing in general.

        ACK!

          I'm not sure what that has to do with anything. Black people would appreciate the joke more, I'm sure.

          If it was actually a racist term, then that wouldn't be a joke, it'd just be a statement of how a racist term got into being... and silly in a comedy show.

                In terms of political correctness this should inevitably lead to mondays finally being named something other as, if you don´t, every calendar is full of racist terms.

                      Monday's child is fair of face.
                      Tuesday's child is full of grace.
                      Wednesday's child is full of woe.
                      Thursday's child has far to go.
                      Friday's child is loving and giving.
                      Saturday's child works hard for a living,
                      But the child who is born on the Sabbath Day
                      Is bonny and blithe and good and gay.

                        I don't know what day I was born on. Before I go look I will guess...
