An bible meeting was getting heated when one of the congregation suggested they hold a combined prayer meeting and ask God for guidance.

"Tell us, Oh God," they prayed. "If your holy presence could be considered black or white!"

There was a pause and a great voice filled the church and said, "I am what I am!"

"Told you so!" said the white preacher.

"What do you mean?" asked the black preacher.

"Well," replied the white preacher. "If God was black he'd have said, 'I is what I is, man!'"
