| Kasz216 said: Oh, also another fun Story on how to beat Racism? Superman. Seriously. Few people know this, but Superman was directly responsible for the dismantling of the Klu Klux Klan. The Superman Radioshow was really popular... and to fight Racism, the makers decided to make Superman fight the Klan, and they made them sound silly running around in bedsheets and stuff... and this Klan members would come home and see there kids playing Superman, beating up the other kids in bedsheets making the clan look ridiculous. It right embarrassed the Klan members so much most of them ended up quitting. http://www.metroactive.com/papers/metro/07.02.98/comics-9826.html |
Possibly the best line from that story was George Orwell's quote (paraphrase?), which I may or may not have heard before: nobody knows what jackboots are, except that they're the footwear you put on when you're going out to deprive someone of their civil rights.
But that was some really interesting stuff. Too bad so many things try to play it so much safer today, proabably due to corporate caution.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
