!!Poster Question!!

[Fifty]

Do you think it would be insulting to black people to have a big ol' poster of Malcolm X with the "by any means necessary" quote on it in my room? Note: I'm concerned with whether it WILL be considered offensive, not whether it SHOULD be considered offensive.

 

[nonconformist]

Not in the least.

 

[Eran of Arcadia]

I don't think it would be, generally. Unless when asked why you have it you say it is to show how violent black people are, then I think everyone will be offended.

 

[Atlas14]

Definitely not. You can disagree with the methods of certain supposed civil rights leaders without giving off a racist impression.

 

[Che Guava]

I don't see how that could be offensive...?

 

[Japanrocks12]

No. Many people admire Malcolm X's conviction

 

[Masquerouge]

Can I ask why you plan on doing that?

 

[Red Door]

I can see someone asking what's up with it, but I don't think it would be considered offensive.

 

[Trajan12]

I can't imagine why it would, myself. Consider that your expert opinion.

 

[luiz]

Why would it be?

 

[civaddict098]

thats funny, I think a teacher of mine has the same poster in her room, and no it would not be racist.

 

[GinandTonic]

A trick question?

Oh my god, that's so offensive!!!

Why on Earth would that offend anyone?
