I need some help...

[Sam]

Ok, would putting on one of my tags (with a black guy as the focal) and putting for text "The black dude" or "you dont mess with the black man" be considered racist?

I am really not sure how strict the staff members are when it comes down to that,

Help? :)

[Brisk]

I'm sure just "Black" would cover it.

I dont know about the racism part to be honest, but aesthetically trying to fit either of your suggestions into a canvas would be a bit difficult to pull off and make look good.

Are you black?

[Fubar]

I don't think any of these two text posibilities are racist. they are not likely to offend anyone imo. I'm not "black" tho.

leave the text off if you are worried.

[Sam]

Well, ive got this tag ready in a psd for the sotw, and basically the focal is a black guy, and iwas just going to put you dont mess with the black guy...

SOTW theme: Black.

And i dont know if my tag that i just explained would fit into the criteria either.. if you want.. ill post the tag with no text, and can you guys tell me if it would count for the sotw? :)

[Sean]

The text could really be the making of the tag.

come on man the text is like the cherry on the sundae. and god knows a sundae is boring without a cherry.

[Zach]

I like sundaes either way.

[Drew]

^^Haha me too, but it's better to be safe than sorry Sam, so really it's your call, but like someone else said, I would take it off to be safe ;)

[Hush]

Its not racist, stating someones colour is not racist. When you go beyond that point e.g the stupid black people

[Sam]

ok.. cheers guys. :)

if someone has black skin they are black, i have white skin i am white.

I don't see the offence.
