LOL@ Andy, there is nothing to fear but fear itself old friend.

You should learn to direct the question to the person who said it.

I just let you know he was yanking your chains as you didn't seem to be getting that part of it. There was no Racism intended as far as I am concerned! 😉

I'm directing the question to the person who wrote, "I believe he was pulling your chains." You interpreted his comment as "chain pulling" or joking.

Step up to the plate and answer the question: Is racism a matter to joke about?

@very-rusty said
Why not direct the question directly to the person who said it Andy. I think you're afraid!

@handyandy said
I did ask him. He didn't reply.

Now it's your turn.

@very-rusty said
Ok Andy,
Lets try explaining this to you in a different way. You are little older than I am. Do you remember the old wood/oil stoves back in the day? You would put a pot or a kettle on them and the bottom would turn black, which is where I think the expression of Pot, kettle, black came from. There is not racism involved here only FACT!!!

@handyandy said
You stuck your nose into the pot/kettle discussion to remind everyone that it was "chain-pulling" or funny stuff.

The question, to you, is whether racism is a laughing matter. Simple to answer, even for a young sprout like you.

@very-rusty said
You know EXACTLY what I'm talking about!

@handyandy said
Actually I don't. And neither do you.

@very-rusty said
So you are saying you don't remember the old wood/oil stoves?

You don't remember how they left the bottom of the kettle and pot black?.........I think you have selective memory Andy!

@handyandy said
This has
NOTHING
to do with
old stoves.

Where does the saying Pot Kettle Black come from?

This saying, which personifies kitchenware in order to make a point about hypocrisy, means “to criticize someone for a fault you also possess.” Per WiseGeek, the phrase dates back to the early 1600s, when most pots and kettles were fashioned from cast iron, a material that acquires streaks of black smoke when heated.

You like that answer better Andy? 😉

The point of the saying is that all are equal. Where's the racism?
