An airliner is flying above the U.S. when the captain gets on the intercom and says,

"Folks, I have some good news, and some bad news. The bad news is that the plane is going to crash, but the good news is that it can be prevented if passengers are removed from the plane. The best way to decide who goes is to go alphabetically".

"Let's start with the A's. Are there any African Americans on board"? Everyone looked around, but no one responded.

"Onto the B's, are there any Blacks on board"? Again, everyone looked around but no one responded.

"Ok, onto the C's, are there any colored people on board"? And again, silence.

A little black boy taps his father on the shoulder and says, "Daddy, aren't we all three of those things, African American, Black and colored"? The father responds, "No son, today we are Nigga's and we are going to let the Mexicans go first". A Mexican guy down the aisle was laughing and the father asked, "What's so funny"?

He replied, "Today, we're Wetbacks, Nigga"!
