   Hello Everybody,   
      
   Being escorted in a limousine to a gig in Natchez, Mississippi, can   
   be loads of fun.  As we were headed north on Hwy 61, the guitarist in   
   the band pointed at Aunt Jemima Restaurant, exclaiming (very loudly),   
   "They painted her face *WHITE*!"   
      
   The chaffeur of the limousine, who was also a drummer, and black as   
   the ace of spades, did not say a word, wisely choosing to keep driving   
   past the landmark restaurant.  Probably because he was a *BLACK* man   
   driving a *WHITE* limousine past a *WHITE* Aunt Jemima...   
      
   This incident makes me wonder if Southerners are racists.  Or is   
   it just black folks?  I mean, why does Aunt Jemima always have to   
   be *BLACK*?   
      
   The next thing you know black folks are gonna insist that Uncle Tom   
   always be *BLACK*.  And let's not forget about Sambo...
