OMG,
I SEE IT MUST HAVE BEEN MY JOKE that was removed ,BUT HONEST To God,I in no way even thought of it that way,I found it funny because "THE LIP'S WERE ALWAY'S MOVING" sorta like all talk and no do,
Now i feel terrible but i apologize for anything whatsoever and i feel now i need to explain so i can feel better,When i do thing's like that you can rest assured i meant no bias whatsoever,I guess the reason is I don't know how it offend's anyone because to me and in my mind it was never based on race....anyone who know's me know's that!! But I do understand how it might be offensive,i just didn't think! It never crosses "MY" mind to look at it as racist!
All my life if i fill out forms or application's i alway's leave the box unchecked and write "Human" and after my husband was killed i had to apply for govt. housing and they do a background check and the officer called me after i'd turned my app. in and asked what race i was....and i said...."human" that's not important,it said optional! He literally had to beg me for 30 minute's because i wouldn't give the answer he wanted me to give,till finally he said,Look....I need the information to do a background check and if it isn't done then your app. goes nowhere! I am only doing my job!
So i had no choice but the best part is,he told me afterward's that he commended me for the stand i took!!
So I am very very sorry,You' ll never hear racism from me,i just thought the all talk part was funny...lol I mean if you break the joke down that was the point......LoL

So then the intent wasn't interpreted correctly, which is a very common thing on the internet and should serve as a valuable lesson about posting jokes in forums.
I can appreciate that you are not racist and did not post that joke with anything racist in mind, but the first two people to respond to it saw it as a racial thing. Perhaps you misinterpreted the real hidden meaning in the joke and we saw it. Never know.
Just be really careful about what you post when it comes to humor and religion or politics. Those things mesh well when you're not in public and know who you are talking to, but we have hundreds of onlookers here. This is public.

Last.
When i read it i "saw"..(lip's kept moving) so believe me i am all hillbilly and i took it to mean because the lip's keep moving as in "the president's alway's talk but rarely do we see them take action and we all know Obama's work is cut out for him,But I do have faith in him and I do believe he will give all he has! Just a mess left over for him to fix!.....that's what i meant,i never ever even think in a racist way so maybe that's why i didn't get it!!

'Could've been but i do know that i meant no harm whatsoever,and yes i realize that because people don't know me,it took a different turn but believe me,I'd never do that in a way to hurt anybody.......shux...I'm a blonde but i love blonde jokes.....but then again i am not a real blonde so i shouldn't be really stupid!! LoL

I understand that it wasn't meant in any harmful manner by you - at the same time you have to see it from the other side. With a large and growning member base to serve, I have to ensure that what is posted here is within taste to the whole group of people who post here - that's all. Of course if someone is over sensitive, I will deal with that in other ways, but what I saw seemed rather tasteless, so I pulled it. Done.
