Sorry if all facets of truth offends you.
No, graphic photos offend me, and while I have viewed them during educational processes (self-imposed or otherwise), I don't like to be surprised with them. Common sense, Daniel, common sense.

My intelligence is insulted, because you seem to assume that I've never seen such a photo before, or that perhaps putting it within your post will change my perspective, or as you "add to the perspective" perhaps my views will be more well rounded?

I appreciate the video, because it is one that promotes unity and peace, (and illustrates it with both blacks and whites walking together) NOT to be confused with your photo which is meant to titillate or incite anger or other heavy emotion.

You really have difficulty focusing on a topic, don't you? Do you need some Ritalin?

YOU are the one who first denigrated white men as the sole cause for slavery. (Via your post which didn't acknowledge other perpetrators, or excuse the white men and women who did NOT participate) So don't pretend that your perspective is balanced, or that you have presented your views in such a way as to lead the reader to believe you have balanced perspective.
