well... if you want to celebrate the dead... I can see no reason to differentiate between black or white corpses, or anything else.
The model shown here does have the "racial" characteristics of an African imo, but I dont see it as a "racial" issue. A lot of people of a lot of people of a lot of ethnicity's have been hanged over the years.
But I would agree with all the people who questioned the original slant of the thread. The question isnt "black people" needing perspective...we are talking of individuals who some of us agree or disagree with, to characterize them by the colour of their skin, and then say all people of that shade of skin act this way... THIS is a racist comment. Hanging the model corpse, although revolting in my opinion, is hardly racist.
For someone to state that because some black people object to it, this is evidence that the "black race" should lighten up... this is a racist comment, and it deserves very strong criticism, as I can see it has already received.
