What do you think about it?

[Matt Ryan]

whys it gotta be racial?

[maxon]

What do you mean Matt... U think I shouldn't use the word 'Black'? Is 'Dark coloured man' better then?

[roundeye]

black? the file name is nigga.jpeg. but whatever, the image isnt showing up anyways.

[gowansy]

i Dont see anything racial about him wording it as :"Black Man"

Just the same as saying coloured person or summit.....

No one would be bothered if someone wrote White Man, therefor, nobody should be bothered if he writes Black Man

Btw i'm not racist, and if i'm sounding like a goon, ignore me, i'm bored and waiting for replies on my post

[InsaneSpaghetti]

You don't understand - there's nothing wrong with "Black Man". But the file name is "nigga.jpg" - that's gotta be changed.

[maxon]

Oh sorry then about the disturbing filename... should thought about it a while before putting it in there. - - But anyway, can ANYONE of you even see the pic??
***
I rename it and put it in another server, hope it will fix something.

here:

[InsaneSpaghetti]

whatever...

The image works if you copy-paste its url into the address bar. (some servers don't allow the HTTP referer be other than blank or their own site).

Use this: http://blake.prohosting.com/filuja/blackman.jpg

[Matt Ryan]

well i said it was racial becuase as it has been stated, the file name. two, you portrayed him as a steryotypical black person with huge lips. also, nothing in the picture is special so why would you title it black man. if you drew a white man would you title it white man?no, you would title it man.... im done hehe

[daz199]

maxon's a fag

[Shaded]

I do believe 'fag' is a slur as well. Please stop being a hypocrite, daz.

[rv_el]

Then I think it would have been appropriate for you to say something like "its not that i dont understand, that post must have been written while I was posting, and got posted before mine" rather than
I didn't know until after i posted, which could EASILY infer that you did not catch it or read it until after you posted, and when it went back to the forum thread after you had done so - you saw it. Infact, you should think about trading in most of your confusing broken english and a bunch of your "fucking"'s for a comprehensive brain.

[Tinusch]

How many separate arguments are taking place in here?

[Blade]

Good Lord people all he wanted was a damn crit or just for you people to take a look at it. I am sure he didn't mean to put the "n" "gasp" word just to anger people.
And also he was probably trying to make a character type drawing not an accurate anatomically correct drawing as you can see by the style.
Oh and vesuvius before you become so quick to judge someone why dont you find out about why they did what they did. Might sound stupid but its actually smarter than just calling someone what you just called him without even knowing his intentions.

[Freddio]

maxon is black

[Molotov]

Can just someone show me the subject of a flame? All links given by maxon - are dead. =)

[gowansy]

InsaneSpaghetti, mate i never knew he called the filename nigga.jpg, until after i posted, so dont say i dont understand

[Vesuvius]

go fuck yourself maxon

[Laemtao]

Tsk Tsk.. Maxon.. that was a bad blunder on your part.. Suffice to say, your rep on the forum is gonna be tarnished.. Why did u even name that pic the "n" word in the 1st place? That's very very insensitive. Though i am not an American, but i have lived here for a few years.. and have taken caution not to ever say such racial slurs. Its funny thing though.. back in Malaysia we have as much ethnic diversity and racial/ethnic "name calling" do exist, but it never really gets that kind of hostile reception as in the states.. especially the "N" word. Sometimes we even use the racial "name" in fun yet doting manner on friends.. and its no big deal. People in m'sia get more riled up if one's "mother" is used in the "name calling/cussing". Prolly the cultural differences i guess.
Sorry for ranting. But that was a bad boo boo on Maxon's case. Mebbe maxon isnt from America? or is he? if not .. he may not have understood the significance of the "N" word..
Lets not jump on him too soon shall we?
I remember myself let slip the n word when i was new to America.. but it was the word "n*gro" not the word maxon uses.

Gowansy, it is clearly stated the name of the .jpg BEFORE you posted.

Websters online Dictionary
UNDERSTAND
1 a : to grasp the meaning of <understand Russian> b : to grasp the reasonableness of <his behavior is hard to understand> c : to have thorough or technical acquaintance with or expertness in the practice of <understand finance> d : to be thoroughly familiar with the character and propensities of <understands children>
2 : to accept as a fact or truth or regard as plausible without utter certainty <we understand that he is returning from abroad>
3 : to interpret in one of a number of possible ways.

You were missing information, therefore you could not understand. Before your post and up to it to understand all that was written would be read it ALL, thus coming to the understanding "why does it have to be racial" but you missed a vital part. Although it was obvious to me that you did in your first post.

woops

oh, and no, the picture is still not showing up

[gowansy]

i knew sum fucking person would say :'it was clearly stated that the image was named nigga.jpg" before i posted....did it every fucking occur to you, that as i was typing my message, someone posted it? because it wasnt there when i looked.

[Digital Genesis]

Personally, I think the whole 'nigga', or however you choose to spell it, schpiel is way overrated.

I don't see why I, or anyone else, should be faulted for calling any other person, black or white, nigger. Why not?
Blacks have been doing it for ages and still do, more than ever.

Besides, just like Fuck is simply a word describing the act of having sex (offensive as that is to prudes), nigger is simply a another meaning for the color black.

Etymology: Spanish or Portuguese, from negro black, from Latin nigr-, niger.

So get off your high horses. Please.

[DRAGooN of deranged]

i second digital genesis

[Ragnarok]

The pic isn't bad, but lacks contrast
and background, the white background kills the colors you have chosen.

[DRAGooN of deranged]

oh and there's still a difference between nigga and nigger

[Vgta]

Little history lesson folks. The term nigger came about because most of the slaves were taken from a region near the niger river. Thus they (slave owners) would call them niggers. The other thing is, at least here in the states, if you are of the same background (be it black, white, hispanic, asian, etc) there is no stigma related when you call each other names. Why, because you are of the same ethnic background.
Oh and yeah I do agree, there is a difference between nigga and Nigger.
Any ways, yeah get rid of the white background. also his left leg seems to be bending at a weird angle. Might be just me tho.

[maxon]

SORRY SORRY SORRY SORRY SORRY !!! I think my whole reputation in here is totally gone now. SORRY! - I live in Finland and don't know is there any difference if I lived in America, but I really couldn't thought the 'n'-word would be THAT bad. I am a white guy and love that if someone white can be a friend of black. SORRY ... SOORRRRRYYYY.. -

** And thanks Blade, I think you are a wise guy, I surely did mean just what you said. I'm just a poor little ignorant person.
** And thanks Ragnarok for maybe the only message that was just what I wanted it to be.
** And thanks all of you who were even slightly on my side.

SORRY SORRY SORRY SORRY....

But damn... I think this truly is the end of my career here. I think I am now on gonna be named as "racist-maxon, a (white) man who should burn in hell" ... SORRY SORRY SORRY SORRY.. I maybe should move out of my country and remove my current web-site and begin to use another nickname in order to be able to post here something of my work. Now everybody is going to avoid all of my replys and ignore my threads.. *sob, sob*
SORRY SORRY SORRY SORRY . .

I have now a totally new mental picture of that 'n'-word and I will never use it again.

---And now to the picture itself--->>
** Thank you all who criticized my pic even little. I'm still not going to change anything in it cause I'm happy enough with it and too lazy to fix it ^_^ - But I surely am going to remember all those advice and try not to use a white background anymore.

And last time: SORRRY!

*please god let it be a nightmare*

/EDIT/ ** And oh, I must admit I never really think what name I am going to give to a picture, just wanna put it here. I just made up something, even if it doesn't mean anything, so I wasn't really thinking the naming of that 'Black Man'-picture as well.

No harm no foul? I dunno. Its obvious you didn't mean anything. Racial Tensions are different in america and stuff.

[Matt Ryan]

maxon, it was a mistake, everyone makes them. its ok. as long as you can realize and correct them its all good. as for the actual picture, it seems abit uninteresting, no dynamic poses or anything, nice coloring tho.

[dicet]

hello,
Am I the only one who hasn't seen the picture...? After all these talks, I'm curious to see the image.

Please post the link again?
