"I wonder why the original post in this thread puts a racial spin on it."

Sorry, I don't pick up the racial spin to which you refer.

You don't pick up the racial spin? OK, not sure where to start with that one. All I can think is that you're being deliberately obtuse. The post makes a direct comparison between this photograph distortion and that of an O.J. Simpson photo years ago. It says OJ's photo was changed to make him "look more menacing, because as every liberal reporter knows, black is bad." (Stated ironically, of course.) The post then says "the whole black community was up in arms about this scandal," and Time subsequently apologized. Then it shows the distorted Condi photo and wonders whether the media will "care about racism when it is directed at 'house Niggas' like Condi."

The use of the word "racism" suggested to me that the person who posted was citing the concept of "racism." Maybe that's too big a leap.
