What is this all about, first there are complaints if not enough black actors are chosen in film or television roles, and whites are branded racist if they blacken up and star in black roles, and here we have black persons posing in slavery roles, and even this is still considered racist?

How on earth do you manage to find these stories in such a short space of time?
Do you have a computer app that searches UK newspaper sites?
I'm impressed and astonished at the sheer number of race stories you're able to dig out.
It's almost like they're truffles for you.
Seriously - how do you do it???

At the National Art Gallery in Dublin, a husband and wife were staring at a portrait that had them completely confused.
The painting depicted three black men totally naked sitting on a park bench. Two of the figures had black willies, but the one in the middle had a pink willie.
The curator of the gallery realized that they were having trouble interpreting the painting and offered his assessment.
He went on for over half an hour explaining how it depicted the sexual emasculation of black men in a predominately white, patriarchal society. 'In fact,' he pointed out, 'some serious critics believe that the pink willie also reflects the cultural and sociological oppression experienced by gay men in contemporary society.'
After the curator left, an Irishman, approached the couple and said, 'Would you like to know what the painting is really about?'
'Now why would you claim to be more of an expert than the curator of the gallery?' asked the couple.
'Because I'm the guy who painted it,' he replied.
'In fact, there are no black men depicted at all! They're just three Irish coal miners. The guy in the middle went home for lunch.'

Just the same as you do with gay stories.
/// Do you have a computer app that searches UK newspaper sites? ///
One doesn't need a special app, they are all on the internet, I save all the main Newspaper sites in my bookmark tool bar, then it is a simple exercise to just click on them and read their contents.
/// I'm impressed and astonished at the sheer number of race stories you're able to dig out. ///
There are plenty around, and always attract a healthy debate, even though some would wish to have a ban imposed on them.
