Zingari Posted 21 January 2014 Posted 21 January 2014 If there's a white version, what's the issue? they don't do one in cerise and i don't want it clashing with my curtains and carpets
Bayfox Posted 21 January 2014 Posted 21 January 2014 all that money and that's the best he can pull???
MooseBreath Posted 21 January 2014 Posted 21 January 2014 Just walked out of Tesco in disgust after going in to buy toilet paper. Turns out they only sell it in white-person skin tone colours. Not a black or brown toilet roll in sight. Obviously they consider white people only worthy of being something with which which you wipe your arse. I'll never shop there again, racist fvcks.

It's the same is Asda, Sainsbury, Morrisons, Aldi, Co-op, and Lidl! The ****ers!

You should have asked for Papier Noir it's more select, fashionable, superior and for discriminating people. http://www.side-line.com/news_comments.php?id=44961_0_2_0_C

That's discrimination, that is - discrimination against the undiscriminating! Would make life a little less alarming after a night on the Guinness, though.
Mike Oxlong Posted 21 January 2014 Posted 21 January 2014 On the plus side, no worries about woodworm.
Merging Cultures Posted 21 January 2014 Posted 21 January 2014 What if she was actually making a social commentary on how black people are assumed to do domestic menial work? If that is what she went for then it is good, except what looks like the photographers shoulder in the far left mirror.
rico Posted 21 January 2014 Author Posted 21 January 2014 On the plus side, no worries about woodworm. what about blackheads?
Strokes Posted 21 January 2014 Posted 21 January 2014 She just got this chair so she can blame it when she trumps, mucky cow.
johnny the fox Posted 21 January 2014 Posted 21 January 2014 I did same government job training scheme the black lady is on there,last year, gain some very good experience, don't knock it.
Dr The Singh Posted 21 January 2014 Posted 21 January 2014 The black lady is in a good sexual position!!
Alf Bentley Posted 21 January 2014 Posted 21 January 2014 When she got together with Roman Abramovich, he told her that he was so rich, all she needed to do was look pretty and sit on her arse. She took him at his word.
Harry - LCFC Posted 21 January 2014 Posted 21 January 2014 Just walked out of Tesco in disgust after going in to buy toilet paper. Turns out they only sell it in white-person skin tone colours. Not a black or brown toilet roll in sight. Obviously they consider white people only worthy of being something with which which you wipe your arse. I'll never shop there again, racist fvcks. In my experience people don't associate the colour of other objects with the colour of people's skin (I'm sure you've noticed this too and have just allowed it to slip your mind here to make your point). Therefore I think it's unlikely that a racist would be persuaded to buy a certain item because of it's colour. However with the chair above the association between the item itself and race is much stronger for obvious reasons. As such it seems possible to me that someone might purchase it to assert that black people are some sort of servant class. Is it entirely unfeasible that this might be the case? Personally I doubt that sort of statement is intended in this image although the servant/master relationship implied by the chair isn't particularly appetising either.
Mark_w Posted 21 January 2014 Posted 21 January 2014 It's just a vile chair. Not particularly racist, I'm just not sure why anyone would want to own one.
Mike Oxlong Posted 21 January 2014 Posted 21 January 2014 I'd be willing to provide her with a tongue and groove design.
Vlad the Fox Posted 21 January 2014 Posted 21 January 2014 What if she was actually making a social commentary on how black people are assumed to do domestic menial work? If that is what she went for then it is good, except what looks like the photographers shoulder in the far left mirror. Ha ha well spotted. That is a major fail on the part of the photographer.
Buzzell Posted 21 January 2014 Posted 21 January 2014 One thing I notice, looks like the black girl has a big set of jugs!
FoxyPV Posted 22 January 2014 Posted 22 January 2014 It's causal and almost nonchalant manner in which she is sitting on the chair as if nothing is wrong which causes the problems. The artist who created it is known for his shock tactics and even her as mentioned before he has copied an earlier artist who made a chair out a white mannequin. The original chair was definitely misogynistic and this one has racist connotations as it depicts a hierarchy, whether it meant this or not (which I doubt given the background of the artist). It is the causal manner in which this hierarchy is reinforced which gives me the most trouble. If it was the other way around it would still be courting controversy.

If the toilet paper were brown, how would you ever know if your harris was clean? You'd be there all day.

So what if it depicting a hierarchy? A hierarchy that has white people ahead of black people or vice versa isn't necessarily racist. Just look at any work place. Lots of hierarchies where blacks are ahead of whites and whites are ahead of blacks. Is that racist? Of course not. I think this is one of those things where in order to see racism, you actually have to betray the fact that you are racist yourself, in that by assuming the black girl is a victim, you are betraying the status you automatically assign to blacks.
Orkneyfox Posted 23 January 2014 Posted 23 January 2014 If the toilet paper were brown, how would you ever know if your harris was clean? You'd be there all day. Why do you never see white dog shit any more?
Rincewind Posted 23 January 2014 Posted 23 January 2014 Why do you never see white dog shit any more? Wait until it snows then you could find plenty hidden underneath the surface.
Zingari Posted 23 January 2014 Posted 23 January 2014 Why do you never see white dog shit any more? can you tell what colour the dog is just by looking at its shit ?
