It's hard to watch a Philly game in any sport and not hear about the fact that the fans either 1) pelted Santa Claus with snowballs; 2)cheered the fact that Michael Irvin was possibly paralyzed and 3) are so unruly they have to have a makeshift courtroom in the stadium. Philadelphia is Oakland West, at least as far as bad fan-base reputations go.

Raiders fans are universally considered reprobates & it's an image they cultivate and enjoy. A's fans, not that I know of.

I'd be less concerned about the Jim Crow Museum if they had chosen a less playful typeface for the signage.

that essay made me cry. i went to the holocaust museum in LA a month ago, spent three hours there, met a holocaust survivor. that essay was more powerful than that.

Yeah, I went to HS and am friends with someone on the history faculty at Ferris State; doesn't strike me as the kind of place that would stumble on something like this.

Was the point of posting the Ferris State exhibit to posit the question "is posting this exhibit to this thread racist?"

I will end with a story. One of my daughters plays on an elite soccer team, meaning her practices are never done on time. One day I sat in the van with my other daughter waiting for practice to end. Nearby several white boys were clowning in front of two girls. They were all teenagers. One of the boys wore a blackfaced mask and he mocked the mannerisms of "street blacks." He turned toward us and I immediately looked at my daughter. She had lowered her head and covered her face. If you have a child then you know what I felt. If your skin is dark then you know why I do what I do.
fucking hell sometimes I hate the world so much

that essay is one of the best and most affecting conveyances of life under the weight of racism that I have ever read.

When I was reading the essay and looking at the images I was of course reminded of european anti-Jewish caricatures -- it's interesting how they have a similar hateful exaggeration to them, as though they were actually drawn under the influence of a kind of pornographic, titilated rage.

I wanted to try it because I really like another of their sauces, but I felt uncomfortable bringing it up to the checkout counter. Note: in Whole Foods it didn't actually have a Voodoo Doll affixed to it. I discovered that looking it up online.

Didn't laugh, but I wasn't offended. There is something about the running gag of an African-American slipping into jive after eating some Mickey D's/home cooking/listening to the Gap Band that gets a little old, but I'm a little too removed from it to really look down upon it to make a judgement.
