One thing I do know of: that Black United Students (BUS) will not hesitate to "get in dat [tail]" when there is even a hint of racial injustice, especially when it occurs on campus.

I'm pretty sure that BUS will (for the time being, anyway) be keeping a sharp eye on Chi-O 24/7.
And so should they - just because one person of a darker hue (and I will refrain from calling them black b/c a black person with any self awareness and self respect will not allow others to poke jokes, in jest, at the expense of his/her people) condone such ignorant behavior does NOT justify or make the joke" appropriate.

Moreover, re: black comics - I say this - black comics poking fun at things that happen in the black community when addressing a prodominantly black audience is synonymous with a red neck poking fun at rednecks, and you poking fun and cracking jokes WITHIN THE CONFINES OF FAMILY, at a relative. You don't see a problem - within the family- with the joke, but NO outsider is able to follow suit . . . same thing.
