Picture by someone else. Magenta text by me.
I don't really see anything racist about the use of magenta text and i'm not sure if you can take a racist picture,so i'll go for funny. X2 if you swap the kfc bucket for a microwave.
Is the guy in the white T just really pleased to see the chicken or is something more sinister going on? :whistling
Racist text depending on who sees it coupled with who wrote it.
Funny pic.
If I showed that to certain friends of mine they'd ltao.
If some white guy showed it, they'd laugh but not out loud and then pop him in the eye.:mellow:
Surely the magenta text makes a differance.Quote:

Not to sound racist but it's usually a white person that "doesn't get it" in my experience.
It's probably due to the white race being on top of the "racism pecking order" for the longest.
I do tire of folk trying to logic shit like, "He called him a nigger so I can do it to" and shit like that. You can do it, of course. Just be surprised if you get popped in the eye.
It's quite simple really.
Maybe I can call that guy's wife a bitch like he does too or call their stupid retard brother a stupid retard.:shifty:

so even the thought of "reverse racism" is racist because it assumes white dominance?

Beyond that, the only way it could be funnier or more racist would be if that old fella was toting a watermelon under the other arm.
My (totally objective) opinion. :whistling

This has not only happened in the United States; it has also happened in Rwanda, with the Tutsis being subordinated by the Hutu's in the Rwandan Genocide. Granted, they were still of one race (African), however there were very visible genetic differences between the two ethnic groups.
Is there a retarded Rev Al for that?... Oh wait..... Nevermind :PQuote:

Ah its a fine line , I find it funny but its the stereotype that people have a problem with . Example put a watermelon with two honkies chasing a black guy and its not as funny .
Wow, the anonymity of the internet is like a cloak of courage to you guys. You put it over yourself, and all of a sudden you can post racist pictures and start hurling the word "nigger" around. And the more intellectual among you get a chance to wax philosophical about the nature of reverse-racism and the insidious nature of hip-hop culture. I wonder if this thread would have even begun if your full real names and locations were attached to your post.Quote:

So......flame away
That's exactly my point! You can call people retards! Women Ho's and whores but if you say nigger then all hell breaks loose! Oh, Lets kill him cause he said nigger! Gee so who's more sensitive then I wonder! Either it's all or none! Everyone is equally able to be offended or no one!Why should someone who's of a different color be in the clear but a mentally challenged person isnt! Once again "I call BULLSHIT!!!Quote:

The picture, in and of itself isn't racist, the reaction of the viewer is what woulld define racism. If they saw an old man being mugged by two young men then what's racist about that. If they saw two black men trying to steal fried chicken then they would be reacting to stereotypes and racism would have to be considered.
That of course changes when the text is added, it adds the stereotypes, without the viewer having to see them for themselves. The final product is racist, what remains is whether the viewer choses to accept the stereotypes or to reject them for their racism.
Oh and it's not funny. An old man in what looks like a violent conflict with two considerably younger men is not a funny situation. Adding racist text doesn't change that.
"Col Sanders scores the winning touchdown in the annual KFC football match" may have made it funny, that's just a matter of taste tho'.
I reckon my text was funnier.
That is because I find lots of stereotypes funny. As you say, a matter of taste.
I recently* found out that in America, there exists a stereotype that black people eat nothing but fried chicken and water-melons. It amuses me much like the poll findings that 10% of Americans think ice-cream is the work of the devil. People doing stupid things and thinking stupid stuff makes me laugh.
Doesn't have to be the USA, I found it funny last year that Mourinho appeared to believe that it was impossible to get educated on the Portugese island of Madeira. Lots of Portugese people think that way, apparently :blink:
Anyway, of course the picture isn't racist. It could only be the picture in conjunction with my words that would be racist.
I wondered if my use of the word 'niggaz' would be worse than the black folk trying to steal the fried chicken from the white guy.
I think most people feel it was :idunno:
* no rod.
I find stereotypes funny as well. However that doesn't mean they are all fair game for humour. That's Bernard Manning thinking. (Jim Davidson, for the younger element)
Bearing in mind I will happily post anti-hun humour, so I'm not claiming any moral high ground here.
Just saying like.
