A teacher gathers her kids from recess and asks them what they did.

Joey goes first: “I was playing kickball.”

The teacher says, “Very good, Joey! Spell ‘ball’, and I’ll give you a cookie.”

Janey goes next: “I was playing kickball with Joey.”

“Very good, Janey! Spell ‘kick’, and I’ll give you a cookie!”

Jordan pouts a bit as he tells the teacher, “Joey and Janey wouldn’t let me play kickball with them because I’m black.”

Teacher tuts, “Why, Jordan, that sounds like blatant racial discrimination!

If you can spell ‘blatant racial discrimination,’ I’ll give you a cookie.”
