Wal-Greens Celebrates Black History Month

[BenefitAddict]

If you are offended easily by race stuff, please do not read this.


I found this image on the Internet. It took me a moment to find out what was so different about it, then I realized.
The image was so messed up and wrong that I laughed my ass off.
I am white, by the way. I don't find the actual image or arrangement offensive, because it was probably just a coincidence.
I don't hate black people. I think that they are just like everyone else. I am strongly against slavery, too.

Here is the picture:

I imagine it was some clerk's thoughtless mistake.

How old is that image? Black History month is in February.

It's not February.
The sign was probably hung according to their logistic store chart.
Ironic, yes. Funny, no.

Are you sure that isn't a manipulated picture? I swear I've seen that elsewhere on the internet, as (in my opinion) a completely unfunny and insensitive joke.

 

[MACLovin]

errr, not really funny. =/

Yea I doubt that picture is real. While I'm not offended by this, I don't think it's funny. I don't find any jokes with a racial foundation funny. No matter what race is being made fun of. It's overdone, overplayed, and it doesn't take a witty person to come up with one. It's low class in my opinion.

 

[browneyedbaby]

This isn't even remotely funny

 

[OohJeannie]

Yea...not funny at all. I didn't even crack a smile. Instead...

Its hopefully just irony and therefore not offensive
but its far from laughable imho.

if it is real, I think that prob all the endcaps had that poster or whatnot at the top saying they celebrate black history month ( which by the way is a good thing) ... Then when someone saw the cotton on under the sign started to make a big deal about it ...

I don't think it was meant to be a joke, I think its a coincidence ...

I find this completely tasteless and horribly provocative. Nothing against the OP (original poster).
