I'm trying to decide whether to post this link on my site for Mondays News Scan. I think it's good non-racist satire.

What do you think?

3. No way. It's satire.

6. Agreed. Sometimes perceptions of what is, and isn't, racism can differ.

That's why I'm asking.

7. My favorite is this one:

"We love playing Pictionary. Time was running out and Sally just could not get it!"

8. It's kinda what Donny and Marie would put up as a site if they wanted to

dicuss the issue.

Check out the Letters/Comments section. Basically, if you have a sense of irony, you either get it or don't want to get it; and if you don't have a sense of irony, what are you doing here reading my comment?

9. In fact it is anti-racist.

It links to legitimate sources of information as well, its clearly anti racist satire.

10. Pointless question. That site is ABOUT racism.

Whether or not it's content (or even it itself) IS racist is a judgment call on the part of the viewer.



And since the authors of the site have publically acknowledged it as an art project, its non-uniform and controversial interpretation by individuals is no surprise.

11. Have you ever been to 'Rent a Negro"?

I dunno which site came first, but this is pretty funny too.
