Do You Think This is Funny?

[Jenny A]

Someone here at AF sent this to me and I’m having a hard time figuring out just how to respond. This person is not stupid—not someone that any of us would think of as an asshole. But that makes it all the more puzzling and unexpected.

All good Rhonda... nothing to complain about! The wife never listens anyway!
The last time I asked her "what did your last slave die of", she responded: Not sure, never bothered to check? Hehe

I know the history of the country this person lives in. it’s not a history of slavery. It’s a history of extermination. His people just hunted my people down and cut up their bodies for dog food. Can you see why I’m having a hard time with this?

I don’t think race should be a taboo subject at AF. Still, how would you take what this person said to me?

Without reading the whole PM (or whatever it was) I'd take it as a joke about husband and wife relations having nothing to do with race at all.

BUT, reading quotes from private PM's without a very good reason for making them public makes me uncomfortable.   Like racisim, it's not against the rules at AF, but it isn't nice either.
