God gave Black people 500 billion talents.

> He gave Hispanic people 35 billion talents.

> He gave Asian people 225 billion talents.

> He left us alone for one year and then returned to see

> God asked the Asian people, "What have you done with

>
> "The Asians replied, 'We created many businesses and purchased many

> Asian friends, helping them to get into business as well."
>
> The Asians continued, "Lord, we knew that with 225

>
> We have doubled the amount you awarded us. We now

>
> The Lord said, "Well done, my good and faithful

>
> God then asked the Hispanic people what they had done

> They gleefully replied, "Lord, You are really going to

>
> And you know what else? The interests we are making

> As God nodded approvingly.

> We have done very well, Lord, especially considering

> Since God had given the most talents to His chosen people--Black

>
> Look at those bad rides parked outside. We bought

> Wouldn't You agree, Lord, that we did good deeds by

>
> Even God looked perplexed. He asked if there was
> anything else the Black people wanted to report.
>
> "Oh yeah," they replied. "You haven't heard the half
> of it, Lord. We're the most charitable people on
> earth. We spent 95% of all You gave us with
> businesses other than our own. We helped everyone.
> We didn't discriminate and we didn't playa hate."
>
> Then one of the Black leaders spoke up. "You know how
> we like nice clothes, Lord. So after the party we
> went out and bought all of the latest styles with all

>
> You know what I'm saying? We just had to have it; we couldn't wait.
> Check us out."
>
> Now the Lord was quite concerned about His people and

> Him proud, God pleaded, "Surely you have done
> something with your inheritance to generate more
> talents for yourselves?"
>
> The Black people looked around at one another, and one

>
> "Lord we have the finest cars, we eat and drink only
> top shelf, and we meet in the most elaborate hotels.
>
> Our children have several pairs of the latest gym

>
> Even better than that, we have good jobs to earn back

>
> Sadly, God looked at His people and said, "With what
