white smoke = coolant burning, maybe a head gasket leaking. would be something you would want to get fixed.

black smoke = rich mixture, could be a number of things, however normal under high rpm.

seems to me to be a racial dispute there. I reckon you get the sherif right away.

So when was it smoking white and when was it smoking black. White can indicate burning coolant. Black is oil, and blue is rich I believe (as far as memory serves me, which usually isn't far :D )
