39. It was a joke. Not a well thought out joke, but still a joke.

The butt of the joke isn't black people, it's the fathers of white girls.

I don't think anybody should be all that offended by it, but if somebody is going to insist on being offended by a joke, it should be the father of a white girl that reads the tweet as saying that he's such a racist that he'd think of his daughter going out with a black person as being a nightmare.
