finished his speech

Eleven people were hanging on a rope under a helicopter,
ten black men and one white man.

The rope was not strong enough to carry them all,
so they decided that one had to leave,
because otherwise they were all going to fall.

They were not able to name that person,
until the white man gave a very touching speech.
He said that he would voluntarily let go of the rope,
because, as a white man,
the white men had enslaved the blacks, persecuted the blacks,
discriminated against the blacks,
and held the black men back.

As soon as he finished his speech,
all the black men started clapping their hands....... ..
