    I dont know if they are racist or not, depends on the intent of the person who created them, displayed them, and the interpertation of the person who saw them.

    Sure I can see lots of reasons to belive these might be racist, if they depected a white person I could see less argument, considering the history of race in this nation, and the racist history of depecting black people as monkeys and such.

    If you feel so inclined a comment would be appreciated.

    Respect a believers right to believe, but they should damn well repect our right to challenge such utterly illogical notions.

    It's inanimate and cannot be racist.

    Examples: If somebody racist throws a rock and it hits somebody of color is the rock racist? Of course it isn't. What if it was thrown randomly? Did the rock choose to hit somebody of color? Of course not.

    An image has no way to be racist any more than a rock does.

    A better question would be, are those in these images racist? Or is the person who created the poster in this image "racist"?
