What is a pundit but someone with an opinion. In that sense, every poster is a pundit. I agree with you on the magic marker fashion designer though. People saw his clothing line and thought it was fake.

Yeah. Like you said. Both about hating blacks. What else is new? Hate and devilry are hate and devilry. Who shot the monkey is irrelevant.

One featured a racial slur, possibly in a failed attempt at humor, while
the other searches for another failed attempt at humor in a potential
murder.

Both are protected by free speech, of course, and in true capitalist
fashion, the creators should go bankrupt due to lack of interest in their
tasteless products.

That, unfortunately, is unlikely.

And you got a great kick out of proving that it was real. Like you had acheived something. I guess it does not take much to make you happy and impressed with yourself.

My background is in digital imaging and I can assure you that someone did some heavy manipulation of that photo. You can see it yourself, just pull it into a photo editor and enlarge it a couple times.

I'm not trying to say the story isn't real or the shirt doesn't exist, or that isn't the designer, just that, for what ever reason, someone seriously screwed with that photo.

Forget about it Roller. He is committed to it being real regardless of what you say. He almost seems to be 'proud' of the T-shirt and its authenticity. I bet he bought one.

The underground market for racist paraphernalia is quite profitable. Go down south and see all the rebel flags. Conferderate toilet paper is my personal favorite. I pick it up every chance I get.

So the monkey face on the T-shirt is a perfect representation of how America considers the black American, even if his mother was white.

God you must hate all of us "whiteys" and you must think that were soooo together on race issues. America is soooo unified on the issues of White vs. Black vs. Hispanic vs. Oriental vs Middle Easterners vs. anybody else. What you're saying is just Fucked Up!

You speak German right?

I love all of God's children (particularly the females). America IS divided along racial lines. Doesnt bother me. I live in a black neighborhood and love it (in the richest majority black county in the country). I used to live in a gated black community near Annapolis, Maryland. Loved that too. I have lived in white neighborhoods. I dont care about race but white racists surely do. That dont mean they dont like that black tail though.

I would not trust the ink they use to print the flag on that paper.
At least not in a delicate area.
