Segregated Bus Ride

Credit for this one goes to Redd Foxx:


It is 1950s America. Children are on the school bus heading back home. Black children are required to sit in the back of the bus whereas white children sit in the front. Eventually, one of the black children complains and starts a big argument that sees the whole bus fight over who is better and more intelligent, athletic, etc.

Eventually the bus driver has had enough and pulls over. "ENOUGH!" he says..."EVERYONE OFF THE BUS."

So the children line up on the side of the road and the bus driver begins to lecture them. "I AM TIRED OF LISTENING TO YOUR ARGUMENTS OVER WHETHER BLACK OR WHITE PEOPLE ARE BETTER."

"THEREFORE" he says...."NO MORE BLACK vs. WHITE ARGUMENTS. FROM NOW ON, EVERYONE ON THE BUS IS GREEN."

"Fine" the children say, as they agree to stop arguing.

Relieved, the bus driver says "Alright then, get back on the bus. Dark Greens to the back, light greens to the front."
