take a hint

when one person starts chewing on another then others chime in, and it really doesn't matter the topic. Just give it up and move on.

People objected to your post because it unkindly showed a blatantly stereotypical generalisation of black people because they're black,
and practically all of us know from personal experience that that generalisation is false.
And it wasn't accompanied with a good joke.
Now have a bit of grace, please.

On the other hand, I'm up to here with "political correctness," and if it takes something like this to demonstrate that, then so be it. My bit of grace is "get a grip."

is the idea that it's wrong to be hurtful to people about things about themselves they can't help or change.
It's a good idea that helps us all get along.
Please refrain from posting similar things here any more.

In all fairness your image is just a collection of items in a vending machine and therefore any inference of racism is in the eyes of those viewing the image, however you do yourself no favours by pandering to such stereotypes or being trollish when people, quite rightly, complain about said stereotyping.
If it wasn't your intention - state so. If it was then you will be held up as a racist bigot which, sorry to say, you will have to live with here.

would be an item that would surely spoil--had no racial intent. Next I put live fish, rabbits and baked chicken--again, as items that would not survive the machine. It was only after using and discarding a variety of items that I decided on the 'gang theme' items.
All of your concerns of "racism" aside, these Items WOULD be hot sellers in, say, a ghetto convenience store, whether b3tans like the idea or not.
I don't BELIEVE racial stereotypes any more than I believe the Queen is a blow-up doll. But I see no reason to avoid depicting them JUST to avoid the wrath of people who have been programmed to scream "racism."

I'm now looking forward to the day Kate and Gerry McCann join the board.

but because certain people can't hang a "racist" label on that, it is condoned here as humor. Hypocrites abound on this forum.
