Kettle Accuses Pot Of Racial Profiling

Pot: You're black.

Kettle: You're a racist.

The post-racism world of kitchen implements and ironmongery was turned upside down this week as a case of alleged racial profiling surfaced. According to a lawsuit filed by Kettle, Pot made references to Kettle's blackness on several occasions.

In a twist, Pot is also black.

Lawyers for Kettle said that it's a dramatic example of racial profiling.

"The incident reveals that color still matters," said Stew P. Levinson, who is heading up Kettle's legal team. "There's no reason to use these ugly, racial identifiers."

In his defense, Pot said the statements were taken out of context.

While he did label Kettle, "black," Pot said that he was just trying to make a reference. Defense attorneys for Pot will file a motion to dismiss the case, adding that it's a crock.

Pan and skillet, who both witnessed the incident, said they were shocked at Kettle's political correctness.

"I was, like, why you wanna say that," said Pan. "But it was too late, like, do you really wanna go there? But it was too late. He went there in a big way, you know what I'm saying."

Pan reportedly heard Pot use the "n" word--non-stick--used during the conversation.

The Reverend Al Sharpton, speaking on CNN's Larry King Show, said that the incident reveals just how far the country has to go and how much money Americans will have to pay to heal those wounds of racism and classism and ismism.

"I'm just glad there are tools, like Pot, out there," said Sharpton. "It keeps people like me employed."
