        SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.

          looks like an old colletable bar of soap. racism was a part of the past in the USA, just a fact of life- most black people don't want to hide that.

                      "Little Sambo" used to be one of my favourite stories when I was a kid. Now they've pulled it from all the libraries, of course. Remember the cartoon of the tiger chasing the african boy around a tree until it melted into butter? I didn't even realize it was racist until I thought about it years later.

                      Yeah, you cant deny the racism happened, and is still happening. That's just whitewashing. (ahem) As long as everyone realizes that language like that is no longer acceptable, then that's fine I think. A collectible is a collectible.

                        What language? Do you mean "******"? I'd venture to say that black people here the word ****** now more than they did during slavery.

                          I don't think we need to get into semantics here. People who consider themselves equals can call each other what they like, but people who have oppressed another group and are trying to get away from that oppressive role really should avoid using derogatory terms to refer to the formerly oppressed population.

                          yes I do make sense sometimes.

                            Yep, and black people should get all the jobs and not be required to be as smart, and/or as qualified because of their ANCESTORS oppression. Since when does "equals" mean one side gets fucked. You don't have to be a racist to know that's fucked up.

                            Now posting something that is a part of American history on ebay, big freakin deal.

                              I worked at a resturant called "Sambos" as a kid. The main dining room had the Sambo story printed all around the walls in graphic detail - the tigers, etc..

                              That was a pretty large chain resturant like Perkins or Country Kitchen.. and that was in Iowa of all places...

                                    Personally, I don't like much censorship, but eBay does have a policy on these kind of items:

                                    http://pages.ebay.com/help/community/png-offensive.html

                                    Occasionally, eBay users list antiques or historical pieces that now, in modern society, can be racially or ethnically offensive to some in the eBay community. Such historical relics find their way into museums and private collections, and serve as important tools for education about the past. eBay does permit such listings of historical pieces, but at the request of community members eBay will not permit listings of racial or ethnically inappropriate reproductions.
                                    I post on GFY so that when people ask me what I do,
                                    I can tell them that I work with the mentally retarded.

                                      Look at the last word in that paragraph. If I made a repo of the little ****** soap today, they don't want it.

                                      That's how I take it anyway.

                                        These are historical items, that's why they are allowed. Denying the past doesn't make it go away.

                                        In many countries other than America, the government does not allow you to have free speech when it comes to history or politics that they don't like.

                                        If Americans ever give up their free speech rights, like many of the Europeans have, then we are really fucked.

                                            Blacks, call each other ******s all the time. What's the big deal?

                                            Either it's a horrible word to make the strongest men blanch or it's a commonplace peice of street slang. Can't be both...

                                                    Dictionary def. rac·ism ( P ) Pronunciation Key (rszm)

                                                    The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others.


                                                    Well duh , anybody who doesnt believe in racism is foolish then.

                                                    Of course race accounts for differences in human character and abilty, and of course some race's are superior to others in certain areas.
