The email was misleading and was about an incident that happened in 2006 (but it made it sound like it just happened and was happening on a regular basis). I sent a Reply All to everyone with a link to the snopes.com article about the incident.

The email itself smelled racist and was incorrect about a couple of things, so I told everyone to do their research before getting into a tizzy and running outside, naked waving their tallywhackers around saying, 'The sky is falling, the sky is falling!'

I just recently did the same thing to someone. My racist, bigot of an Aunt sent out this scathing email and she made the mistake of including me on it. So like GC, I replied to all with a link to Snopes. Wow is she pissed at me, not that I care, but at least everyone on her list can see the truth. She even wrote back to me saying that Snopes is just a bunch of BS and that she was still right, oy!! At least the others have a new place to look up some of the crap that she sends out. My Mom isn't mad either, she even giggled a little and said she was proud of me for standing up to her because no one else will. Needless to say I'm not on my Aunts email list anymore
