I mean no hard feelings. I just think that someone who is culturally sensitive wouldn't flash pictures around like that, or find them humorous with no further investigation to the racist roots of imagery like that. And I'm not talking about the Chris Tucker picture. I'm talking specifically about the doctored one of a black man going bug-eyed over a bucket of chicken. How is that funny, outside of a racialized scope? It's not. And it's offensive enough to bother me, because you're posting something like that with complete disregard, like it's not a big deal.
You might have been here longer than me and posted more than me, but I don't think you know enough of the people who have posted in this thread well enough to make joking posts like this. And it started when I criticized Stinky-Dinkins for making similar comments and asked him not to do so. I constructively criticize you for it, so you call me a name. So how is that not flaming?
Sure, I said you're not open to intercultural understanding. Based on the fact that you're posting things that are culturally insensitive for anyone in the world to see, with no further commentary from you on the matter as to why it's funny or relevant other than "it's a humorous picture that happens to contain a black person," I would say that it is a fair jump to make.
When did I call you a name? I don't recall doing so, but if I did I apologize.
And as far as the picture of the guy with the chicken, it's just that I find the look on his face hilarious. The original chicken-less version of the picture is out there all over the place, but I just happened to have this version with me at the time. If I ever find the other one I'll replace it.
