    It used to be about him being a chicken but now it's ammo for Floyd fans who are at war with Pac fans.

      it isn't about black people liking fried chicken.

      its a bit of stretch to say it is directed to black people.

      its directed to floyd being a coward.

          well i never thought anything of it, but yea its easy to see how some may be offended by the stereotype. regardless, its in poor taste imo.

            I understand that it's supposed to mean that Floyd is a coward. The thing is that others would argue that anything you say about the picture is open to interpretation.
            The picture's message is not clear enough.

              "the map is not the territory"

              we all have different maps in our heads and that's how we view the world as it is. i'm pretty sure a pinoy did that graphic not knowing about the stereotype in the US that "African-Americans love fried chicken". put yourself in the shoes of an African-American and I'm pretty sure you'd see it differently also.

              P.S.

              when I first saw the image, the first thing that came into my mind was a "coward chicken" rather than the "stereotype chicken". however, just try to see it as others do.

                Then why use "fried" chicken?Why not a live chicken? Play dumb if you want to.

                  they only brought this up after floyd did a mel gibson. this is just me, but i never thought anything racist by it until they brought it up.

                  it came out around pac fans where accusing floyd of being a coward, and came out around these pics came out.





                  are these racist too?
