[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 886354, member: 52972"] TJR, OJ got off because Officer Furman was shown to have made many racist remarks. That probably infuriated many blacks and let them beleive that the police were capable of planting DNA evidence. That led to resonable doubt and he was aquitted. Of course that has nothing to do with the question raised here by your poll. Bill Cosby's remarks inflammed many blacks, but his is also black and that does not make him a racist. What he said was more in the vain of a Tuff Love speach, and that blacks cannot blame white people for all their problems. That story only made the news because Jesse Jackson did not like what Cosby said since hit too close to home and how Jackson makes his money. Yes, some blacks are overly sensitive to things similar to what was depicted in the doctored photo and some might even get violent, while others don't like it, but ignore it and move on. If the author of the photo had thought about how a black person might find it insulting, he may have not published it. If he did think it might be insulting to blacks and decided he would publish it anyway, then he is insensitive and perhaps a racist. If it never dawned on him that some blacks might find the photo insulting, then he is probably not a racist, just very ignorant. ...Rich [/QUOTE]
