JP- Gotta be honest here, guy... I think I "know" you well enough to damn well know you're neither racist or misogynist- but this image is something you'd find on some racist shit ass, uber right wing, skinhead site. Really not feeling the "humor" (satire?) here; that photo plays to many a historically racist stereotype that serves to: ridicule, demean, dehumanize. I got a pretty warped sense of humor myself- but as a human being and a person of color, I really can't get past how images such as these have been used throughout history. Don't ever remember having to say, or even think this- but you (really) missed the mark on this one.

I'm with Stan on this. Humor FAIL. Give it the blip, bro.
