Indy, I may be over-reacting in this case. I will acknowledge that. And we can debate whether or not Buckwheat is a racial caricature. But I can assure you that no matter what you or I personally may believe, our "past foibles" are a huge issue with AA's.

Let's put it this way, would it have still been funny if someone had posted an image of the old Disney "Little Black Sambo" character? It's simply a question of where you draw the line. Again, I could be totally off-base, but that's the way I saw it. Did anyone claim that Nikuman was intentionally trying to offend anyone? Certainly not me.

Coincidentally, Eddie Murphy is taking some real heat lately for hosting a new show on BET called "Hot Ghetto Mess" that lampoons black ghetto culture.

But answer me this, Leb. If, after 40+ years since civil rights, and 140+ years since slavery, whites still need need to be cautious with the race question, don't you think it's time blacks start putting to rest some of their "issues" too? |

Let's let other people decide that rather than a white, Mormon, anti-immigration, Republican male. |

A great tactic for the majority group when cries of racism are being used to expose abuse or erode their advantage is to mimic the cries of racism in reverse. This muddies the picture enough to slow down the trend. I see this A LOT from racist white people.
