[QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by the lyinass: [qb] A small circulation University publication from 20 years ago The situation is not that simple. If the original illustration was accepted it could be construed by some as a racial competition, the figures as symbolic even though that might not be a correct interpretation of the intent of the illustrator. It also gives a first impression of a white man coming up aggressively behind a black man with a whip and at first glance has a connotation of a slave master even though that might not have been the intent of the illustrator. The solution would be to change the illustration in some way. However they picked the wrong worst solution and made a black man into a white man [/qb][/QUOTE][b]LOL[/b] Rationalize all you want. The black man was suppose to be Emeagwali himself and the white guy behind him had a whip for the bull NOT to whip Emeagwali who wasn't a "slave". The connotation was clear and there was nothing "racial" about the original. The illustrators were racists could not come to grips that a computer genius could be a black man from Africa. Just as you cannot come to grips that the Egyptians were 'pure' Africans without being mixed with Eurasians so as to claim their civilization. [/QB][/QUOTE]
