this is getting taken a little too far, theres too many idiots out there who just joke about that, im sure youve made a racist joke about black people, or jews, or mexicans, or some stereotypical comment and no one reported you to jesse jackson and the NAACP. People get offended, yes, but its freedom of speech and with no evidence nothing can be done. some people are just alot more immature and like to get reactions and since youre giving it to him, its more fuel to the fire. it was just a joke somebody took too far, youre getting a little more upset than you shud be, its not gonna change him, as if he was serious in the first place, hes only 17 and needs time to learn.
