I know it was a joke. Obviously you did not feel the need to randomly inform everyone that you're white with a serious context.

It's just that....I didn't get it.

I know what you typed. the joke was as if I looked at it too quickly and thought it said black like Leo said. as I said, never mind.

Re: I'm Back

Are we really going this far in depth arguing about whether or not a quip was funny?

Re: I'm Back

your joke implies that I read it correctly and somehow thought you meant black instead of back; that it was somehow a typo and I should make a typo of my own as the joke.

which is more plausible and therefore making the joke more believable?

1) someone reading too fast and thinking they saw black?

or

2) someone reading it and thinking you meant black instead of back?

It's lame either way, I know...that was my intention to begin with, but choice number 2 would make someone seem mildly retarded as you say. choice number 1 is actually possible.

now, if you actually did mean black, for some strange reason, and spelled it blak or something, then yes, wite would make sense.

either way, carry on and welcome back to the site.
