I won't go into details , but when I was about 16 or 17 about 3 or four of us girls went bowling. We were all telling jokes. I forgot there was a person in the car of a different race (it was the first time she came with us) and I told an off color joke. I will never forget the humiliation I felt. At that time there were not many other races in our town. I had just finished telling the joke when we pulled up to my house. From that moment on, I didn't repeat those kinds of jokes. That was a life lesson for me.
