I Admit I'm More Naive on Racism Than I Thought
First I was leaning towards too many people are over sensitive and the race card is really overplayed---I get it exists...but it seems for every turn it was being used....with varying Races
Maybe I'm secluded where I am and for most it's an every day occurrence --and I'm ignorant of the facts---Being a "Live and let live" person I actually never consider this,that often
Having an Irish last name---I've heard often how I must just like to drink and fight----yeah ha ha---and we move on
Well I learned something today while researching an art project I'm working on....Somebody wants me to paint them a farm sign incl their name with some sort of Antique farm equipment
So from time to time I "Google" images for details /ideas etc.....Well I searched "Antique farm equipment" images and was very shocked what was being put there.
I will not post this link due to it's content---if you wish---giver it a look
But I think there's trouble brewing when people go to this effort to promote Racism

It wasn't what I was expecting, despite being obvious in hindsight.

Apparently some one or group has gone to some effort to do this
4chan comes to mind. And this is no where near the worst thing they've promoted. All you need is a few internet accessible basements with guys who are smart enough to hide behind a proxy, and they can do anything in complete anonymity.
The was a Dutch born special forces member who ran off to Syria and joined ISIS a while back. He posted two AMA's on Reddit. He never finished the second one, because he was killed in a drone strike. 4chan and Reddit both took the credit for hacking his coordinates.
Apropros of nothing, but to point out that it only takes a handful of computer savvy individuals to get their kicks from trolling. I certainly wouldn't take it to be any commentary on race relations in general.

But over many years I've googled many images---never ever Have I stumbled on this stuff
In skimming your response I was sure that you had typed "Dutch ****." I don't know if that says something about you or me.
If it's as Buffy says---what do you gain?
I get why racist groups do it
Actually I had some idiot at a show tell me I should use it as one of my jokes. I did not have to google.
Does it need to be at the top to indicate that there are some really racist idiots out there? Do you know how many times I do shows where people think it is cool to share with me some really hateful jokes? I really do not have a problem with ethnic humor, but hateful, I do.
Ignorance is freedom
Moved to Montana, gonna be a dental floss tycoon.
No other meaning or reason need to be applied. You guys are putting too much thought into this.
A Google image says nothing about racism in America. That was my point.
Well you certainly seem to have an interest in diminishing its existence.
As Hextall was fond of saying: "Because, rubes."
This was my surprise in my search---because I could'nt imagine thinking along these lines
I will give you the road Buff tho on Idiots

Going to start Robbie Robertson's new book (Testimony) soon, to get the other side of the story.
Yeah I'm pretty sure Levon and Robbie never made up----What happened to Richard Manuel did'nt help
