My Dear Friend Sandy:
Do you notice that there is no WHITE male in the ad?
What might be an offensive costume for a

* Male
* Heterosexual
* Christian male?
Are there any stage acts from "Hip Hop Voice Of The Street Pirates" that can attract 16,000 people into a stadium that is offensive to you which might be included if you made a list of "No No's" regarding how Black people should not be depicted in public/
Does this mean you're calling for affirmative action for underrepresented white males?
