belay that, wrong guy. still wonder if he got a permit though

Thanks! There’s hints of interesting things in there, but the writing seems very garbled to me. I did not know Jim Crow was a character (never really pondered where that phrase came from) and never heard of a pose.

So, is the Madonna song, Strike a Pose, racist?

Is It This One?

It's the only image I could find that might be interpreted as even remotely "racist".

[jocon307]

Yep, that’s the pose! This is the new thing I learned today.

Here’s the wiki link, it’s all pretty well explained, and follow the links for more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Crow_(character)

The article on the Jim Crow Laws is pretty even-handed. It even identifies Ida B. Wells as a Republican.

I know, weird, right? One can never know what will catch the public’s mind.
