It's racist only because you said it is.

Also, the new silent blacks are better than vintage.

Man, black and white photos got me in serious trouble in 6th grade..


I wrote in a paper that one of the black civil rights leaders transcended the barriers of race and fought for black rights.   I even read my paper outloud to the class..

Well.. turns out, it was actually a black guy i was writing about,   but in a black and white photo, the lighting and angle, I thought he was a white guy..

SIgh..............

I have a black keyboard with black keycaps and black switches. If I hit the keys too hard, could that be considered racial violence?
