Now you know it is Kunta Kinte. Will you request the site admin I may have a picture of Kunta Kinte back as my avatar and profile picture?
You could of course have handled this way better by once sending me a PM with the simple question asking what my avatar was refering too without running to the site admin with unfounded bias towards me as a person. I do take offence you consider me a racist.
I apologise to you and to certain others, who have felt that me running to the site admin, mightn not have been the appropriate thing to do.
Can you please find where I've considered you a racist? I have no recollection considering you were? I could have PM'ed you, but I didn't. I apologise for that.
I'm sorry, I will not request that Admin allow you to have that pic in your avatar. How you deal with Admin regarding this issue, is between yourself and them. Thanks 🙂

Will I be called a racist if I have a Denzel Washington avatar as he dies in Fallen?

It's not forum mod shouldn't have opinions, but it is that people with certain opinions (like believing there's nothing wrong with that avatar) shouldn't be forum mods.

How exactly can a photo from Roots be "racist"?
Was the Martin Luther King in jail photo I linked to also "racist"?

There's a famous picture of her being finger printed. What's positive about that? Isn't that just another form of "chains"?
If you are all as pro-black as you claim to be, wouldn't the corrext reaction be to apologise for the offence, and bring Eflame37 into the fold, rather than cause a ferore about your pastey white right to shock?
The fact that you all chose this path speaks volumes about your true intentions in this forum. Take a step back, and you'll know i'm speaking sense.
Originally posted by huckleberryhoundIt would be ridiculous to apologize when someone didn't do anything wrong. Some people aren't phony enough to do RN-like "non apology apologies" like "I'm sorry if you were offended by a picture of Kunte Kinte in chains ..............................................."
