Originally posted by Elamef37I was saying you gave an irrational reason because you did. There's nothing intrinsically racist about a black man being shown in chains; in this case the image was of a heroic character who resisted slavery. I compared this image to a picture of Martin Luther King in jail, neither you or any others could give a coherent reason why the first is "racist" and the second not. Nor have you given a reason why you think that the race of the user using the image is in anyway relevant. In short, you gave an opinion but failed to deal with pertinent questions regarding why your opinion should be taken seriously.
I believe you were trying to say I was irrational. You were saying I was irrational, of something I thought racist in nature and offensive.

The Site Admins overly censor this site esp. when users complain even if the complaints aren't rational. That is a significant problem with the site and makes these forums considerably less than they could be.

I will just as soon as she gets back to me so be prepared.
My dead grandmother could come with something better than that. Someone should hit you so hard, you starve to death doing cartwheels.
