im sure this was nothing more than just a brainfart... the jmc crew are ALL good people... (if they werent all good people, i wouldnt make that statement, i would just leave it unsaid)
awhile back someone posted a pic with a buddah statue or something and someone was offended... at the time, it never dawned on me that that pic might be offensive to some... i think the same thing happened here.
i am of irish and cherokee indian descent, i qualify to live on a reservation tax free if i want... yet i am not offended by things like the washington redskins, nor the atlanta braves... it never dawned on me that these things are offensive to the true full blooded native american people (probably due to the fact that i am in ohio, and do not live on a res i grew up in the white mans world, and even though im part indian, i am also a whiteman.)
but i understand why native americans would be offfended, and feel they have the right to be...
sadly, i think this may cause negative repercussions and thoughts pertaining to cumoncandi... allow me to say, that if any of you have ever met the girl, you know that she is a genuinely kind hearted person who most certainly isnt racist (the thought is almost laughable)... as soon as she was made aware of this incident, i would imagine that she was mortified...
everyone has the right to either be offended or not be offended by certain material... those not in a position to be offended by a particular something, more than likely do not recognize that something may be offensive to others...
