Comedian Steve Martin thought better of a joke he tweeted tonight, but not before it had been retweeted and screen-capped.

@CourtneyHammett @KCGibbons @SteveMartinToGo An apology would go a long way. He deleted the tweet.

Look @stevemartintogo The deletion shows that you realized that tweet was racist and wrong. So now you finish the fix by apologizing.

Martin did delete the tweet and apologize.
Sorry about that. RT @illmami: I'm not totally offended but I don't want to be the one saying it. It was witty. But nawl. Not today.

I did apologize. But again, a second later I realized what an offensive thing I'd done. Deep bow. @JustCindeh

To say the least RT @SteveMartinToGo: @illmami In retrospect, bad joke.

Yeah, I learned that. @prissperry @illmami

@SteveMartinToGo You are a classy man, sir. Gracious. I think you meant no harm, but are sensitive to the feelings of others. Have a cookie.

#BlackTwitter being the singularly focused unit that it is, will only drag one white person at a time. You're damn lucky, Steve Martin.
