Instapundit: 'Shoeshine Boy' Picture Not Racist

I’m not attempting to diminish racism. On a scale of 1 to 10, I personally don’t find that photo shopped slop job to be racist enough to cause the calamity as some in this thread would like. It’s tacky, it’s sloppy, it’s not worthy of a 2d look. It’s a political attempt to trash a person or two and fails. It was also posted mainly to take slaps at some other blogger. Big deal. I don’t even read his claptrap as accused. LOL

When real racism and injustices do show up, rage about those to the creator of said junk instead of minutiae such as this. When you give a photo shopped piece of glurge such as this picture time and space and brain space, you play right into the hands of the intent and motive of its creator. I refuse to give it the importance and, for that, have been libeled racist amongst other things here .. ad hominem, straw man, red herring, etc. Considering how dark my skin is, those accusations deserve one big jackass laugh.

The End
