Teacher in trouble after students don Klan robes

Let's put it this way. Slave mothers' toddlers taken away and sold--not funny. Lynching and dead black men hanging in trees--not funny. Genocide--not funny. If you think these things are funny you're a sociopath.

I took it literally and verbatim. No twisting things around at all.

I have noticed a certain person trying to dictate what "should" be funny or not in another thread.

Maybe it should be pointed out that not everyone holds those views (maybe?)

let me ask you a question (I hope you don't avoid it this time)

Do you believe symbols of violent races are funny in any context?

YOU taking it literally?

I am the one who is looking at from a literal standpoint, not abstract standpoint.

You're trying to approach her stance from an abstract point of view.

Hint: a circle fits into a square better...

My picture of Sarah Palin with a photoshopped Hitler mustache earned me a warning. Seems I offended one of your clique. Never again. From now on, my pics do not feature caricatures of Conservatives. I was....chastized. Now I am....educated.

The hammerzeit photo did not caricature a political party.

In the context presented ... was it funny?

:lol:

Except it wasn't racist. It was comparing Palin to fascism.

You really need to learn what Nazi symbolisms are and how they are used. *smashes head into desk repeatedly*

So far, everything you've posted point more to militarism more than Nazism.

He just needs lessons on symbolic interractionism, period. Has virtually no concept of it.

so you agree ... there are "some" exceptions to what can be considered funny?

Only, they have to be slanted towards your perception of what is funny correct?

Now you are restricted.:laugh2:
 
You're taking something very hateful and violent and making a caricature out of it. That speaks volumes.

No, I did not make a caricature out of the hammerzeit photo. Someone else did.

I thought it was funny.

Conservatives have every right to be offended by the accusations of fascism. Completely different concept from racism.

He also got mad at a movie liner and perceived that I made a vague personal threat to him. :dunno:

Not mad, just making sure. For all I know you could be a loose flake hiding anonmously behind a screen name and use that picture to send a message(subconsciously?) aimed directly at me hoping perhaps it'd be some kind of a subtle message for me to decipher? Who knows? I don't read minds here. Humor is fine but when I see something that causes my eyebrows to furrow and raise questions like "Why is he doing that?" especially after when you tossed these little potshots and warnings at me earlier which makes me go "Hmmm...." then I'd best report it as a matter of record. I don't even know you. You're just another anonymous face here.
 
here is another "symbol" of violence. The helicopter in the picture is used for violence, yet the message conveyed is a humorous one:
