I guess that jerk off opinion writer never visited the NE Pennsylvania coal mining area.

Blackface among the WHITE coal miners was common and so was incurable "Black Lung" (Lung Silicosis).

As someone who lives in Phx I can tell you that the AZ Republic is so desperate that they offer Groupon subscriptions and have laid off most of the staff to save money. They base the value of the paper literally on the amount of coupons inside not the journalism, it is like a giant Val Pack

Yeah, maybe Mike Rowe could respond to this guy about dirty jobs and the people that do them.

"...the photograph should be taken down-sacrificing one image for the greater good."

I agree, we should be very quick to sacrifice the rights of private owners to display private property (or any of their rights) for the "greater good" as determined at the drop of the hat by any random SJW. I'm all-in for a society like that, I would feel so protected!

The dumbfuck doesn't even recognize himself as a moron and a proto-totalitarian. Hopefully he will self-boycott that bar for the greater good of Americans that do not want to be around dumbfucks.

At the downtown Phoenix restaurant, my concern that the photograph of men in blackface coal miners was a threat to me and my face and voice were ignored.


Damn it must suck to be threatened by a picture. How does guy even leave his house?

Yeah, those guys were all doing Al Jolson numbers, 800 feet down.

All the guys in that picture are long dead. Maybe you can block them on Twitter, Nancy. Maybe you can find their great-grandkids and spit in their faces.

At what point did society decide that they have the right not to be offended? So you're offended. So what? If I wore my heart on my sleeve I could find dozens of things to be offended about daily.

What makes them think they are not to be offended? Offense is something the one who takes offense owns, not the perpetrator of the word or action or picture or whatever. You're offended because you choose to be and not for any other reason.

Some people make a living or a lifetime of being offended. They need, like a horse to be de-sensitized.

It wasn't that long ago that at least they were offended by something real (if silly). This is a photo of some coal miners in a Pub, but they are offended because it "looks" like it could be something else. Roll Eyes

Proof some people choose journalism as a profession because passing basic high school was not an option?

There was a time not so long ago, that when someone behaved in such an asinine manner, they were severely beaten by their peers to insure they shed such ridiculous behavior. We need to return to that time.
