The picture of kunta kinte or toby or lavaar burton on the cover of the DVD for roots is not offensive.
If the KKK carried the picture down the streets of Beverly Hills it woud cause quite a stir.
See the difference?
You're beyond ridiculous.

Of course, your perceptions have to be binding on everyone else on RHP.
So, Black man behind prison bars - OK. Black man in chains - racist and offensive.
I'll write that down.

I must say, you've disappointed me.
Originally posted by Elamef37Not at all. It seems that if you're offended by something, no matter how unreasoning that offense is, it's enough for the Site Admins to remove it because you're offended. Therefore, in the future, it would behoove all of us on these forums to conduct ourselves in the manner you might approve of.
