OK ... couple things.

1) what if the "slave" and "slave owner" signs were reversed? Is that acceptable/funny? Or is that still crossing the line? (I cross the line with jokes all the time ... generally not race-based jokes, but many other taboo subjects)

2) these are children. It's possible that they just don't know what to joke about and what not to joke about. I agree that it falls on the parents. I'm not even mad at the black kid for choosing to make the joke ... but my white children have heard enough from me to never even think of making such a joke.

or maybe i just don't have a fukking clue.


Nah man people really need to quit that "they're kids" shyt. I just got out of high school 16-18 years old aren't fukkin dumb they know what the hell they are doing. They know a joke is right and when they might have crossed a line

I doubt there is a single school district in this country that foes not give the slightest bit of education on slavery.

:yawn:

:skip: I'm not saying it's cool, I'm asking for the context. And im pointing out that not one person in this thread mentioned a possible connection to one of the most famous speeches of all time. That shyt is truly pathetic.

you really think bigots of this nature would do this as a reference to a revered black leader?

And if it WAS in reference to MLK, doesn't that make this an even worse act of racism?

I dont need context for this. There is no way you can justify this picture. No amount of words.

bytch, you can barely type English. How in the fukk are you going to assign an essay?

That person posted a non-violent approach to teaching this kid about racism. Why are you criticizing them by belittling their level of intelligence?

Why are you so defensive of the kid in this photo:lupe:

would you do something like this? :lupe:

you dont see how this is a physical display of the socialization that has caused him to suffer from internalized hatred?

(predictably, I got negged for asking this question. I can deal with that. But, I believe we can't reach answers unless someone asks the questions)

So. Cal
I blame this on parents who don't teach their black children about black history.
he knows enough. it's obvious he'd much rather fit in then have self esteem and self respect. But this people been around since slavery. There were slaves truly fighting for the right to be a slave in the civil war.
