Racist much???

So the other day I was told I was racist because I didn't know there was a black guy in Maroon 5... the comment i got was "well that's really racist that you think a black man can't be in a band".... at that time i pointed out that i was just saying i didn't remember this black man in the band earlier from videos done around the song about jane album... and guess what?


                                                                        
Looked up some videos and there is NO black man! haha! Now i'm bringing this up as my wonderful Mother in law is the same person who told me this and i find this funny and sad at the same time as this woman the other day was telling my sister in law(who's black) how she went to past her childhood home and there were and i quote,"porch monkeys hanging out on her old porch".

Yes that's right the woman who called me racist said a racist comment to her black daughter in law(btw i'm so white i make snow look tan). Now after more then one or two people picked their jaws off the ground she explained that she herself would hang out on her porch as a child like the porch monkeys... i died laughing because she didn't get that she was being so racist and rude and we'd tried to move the conversation along to happy topics like her new granddaughter from my sister in law(that's right people she also said this in front of her part black granddaughter!!!)

It could be my mother in law grew up like Randal from "Clerks 2" but still she should know better!

 
 So just to be clear... NOT RACIST if you don't know a bandmate of a group is replaced with someone of a different race and you ask about.... calling people porch monkey on a mainly black side of town to your black daughter in law totally racist!
