No! And nice photo by the way.
But a fried chicken and watermelon fest on Martin Luther King Jr's birthday? Yup. A white sheet promo on Kwanzaa? Probably. A carpenter's nails give-away on Good Friday? I'm leaning toward yes.
I don't disagree with you as much as you think I do. The "first day of Black History Month" isn't exactly a high holiday, is it? So even though the monkey imagery has been used as a weapon against African Americans for hundreds of years, yes, I think this is a case of over-sensitivity.
Of course this is the country that refers to genocidal traitors and American army deserters as glorious "rebels" and "Confederates," so there's plenty of political correctness to go around, isn't there?
