political satire does not EXCLUDE racism
so I dont get your point,,, OK. Let me clarify. Other than the fact that the mask in the photo doesn't appear to resemble President Obama, what evidence do you have that the person wearing the mask is engaged in racism? It appears to me that you are judging the wearer of the mask according to his skin color. If that is what you are doing, then why shouldn't someone accuse you of racism? here is my first post how original, a white man in black face and Im sure there is no racist element there its pretty straight forward,, not much to explain there,,,'someone' can accuse me of whatever they want white men in black face are a historical reality, so it is no longer an 'original' idea,,,, it is , in my opinion, a fairly racist choice when depicting black people,,,, The question is this: What does the photo in the OP depict? If it is an attempt to depict President Obama riding on a manure spreader, then the image is a comment about politics that may have nothing to do with race. An assumption of a racial element could easily be a false assumption. Exactly, many today think that slaves were beaten every day for fun. Wrong, slaves were considered a commodity, a means to produce a profit from cotton. If there had been no cotton, there would have been no slaves in America, period. Many poor whites shared the same fate during that time. Both blacks and white suffered After the war. slaves were considered NOT HUMAN, thats all that needs to be said regardless of how often they were beaten, regardless of the insane justification , slavery and later jim crow classed them as BENEATH A human being, not deserving of the same opportunity and respect of any other 'american' everyone suffers at some point, but that doesnt mean the suffering needs to be blurred together or cant be logically discussed in context of the people or the time in question,,, Wrong, do a little research. WPA narratives have many good stories of how well blacks were treated during those times. They were treated as human beings. by northerners,, in the south, they had no rights a white peron had to respect, NONE,,,, it doesnt matter what the individual interactions were, of course some people will be decent regardless of power and laws but what the LAWS Dictated, allowed for them to receive the worst of treatment and the least of lawful respect BY LAW wrong again. where is the proof that I am wrong? have you read the slave diaries? have you seen the articles from those times? are you suggesting blacks were treated 'well' as a rule in those times? thats wrong,,, I am a 20 year plus genealogist. I have read many slave diaries and WPA stories of the south. Blacks lived along side whites. People were people struggling to survive back then. They depended on each other. they helped each other. No one was treated well, my family included. It was what happened then. no kidding people suffer so we can stop discussing/aknowledging american racism and its impact on the racial/classist system it runs on? I dont get the point of repeating that other people have suffered,,, other people have had massive killings too, but does that stop americans from feeling strongly attached to 9/11? the point is not whether its EXCLUSIVE, the point is how it relates to the CURRENT condition of AMERICANS,,,, |
