150.5 - Unintentional Humor: Military group celebrates 50th anniversary of Civil Rights Act - at Gitmo

Unintentional Humor: Military group celebrates 50th anniversary of Civil Rights Act - at Gitmo

Next up, another quick example of what I call unintentional humor, where something that's not supposed to be funny just is.

The Black Heritage Organization, a group of African-American soldiers and officers within the US military, held its annual Black History Month banquet on February 22. It was described as "residents and military members coming together to help celebrate the 50th anniversary of the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964."

It was called "a night filled with food, fun, and fellowship," with a report on the event adding that "the collection of diverse attendees was a testament that America is headed in the right direction."

The banquet was held at the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base in Cuba. They held it at Gitmo.
