I wasn't trying to be tasteful, neither were DrPhil or cheerleader, who think it's okay to throw around words like racist without giving it a second thought.

This is on par with saying, "I have friends who are black so, it's okay for me to make racist jokes." As far as it being an "off color" joke, I don't see how making a "joke" about children being sexually abused is supposed to be funny and no big deal. You tried to derail this thread by making a joke at the expense of abused kids. Way to go, pro bono attorney!
The joke about Joe Paterno looking the other way was also lacking taste. What is sad is that I generally agree with some of your views but, now I question your character.
