Is This Paula Deen Joke Too Offensive to Tell On-Air?

First off, I do think everyone's going a little overboard with the outrage at Paula's admission that she used the "N word" one time thirty years ago.  I mean, she's a white senior citizen from the deep south. Couldn't we all have figured that out before she said it in a sworn deposition?  I think it's not nearly as offensive as her admission that she once planned a wedding in which she wanted an all-African American waitstaff to portray slaves
and didn't see anything wrong with it!!!

So, I've got this joke that isn't at all racist because it makes fun of racist attitudes not any race. I'm just not sure how it will fly. Here it is and you can tell me what you think in the comments section.

OK, here goes.
