The above picture was taken back in Dec 25th, 1923 during a Christmas celebration in Badagry, Lagos....The racist photo shows blacks painted with the bold inscriptions 'Merry Xmas Badagry, 1923"

But there's a black child sitting with the whitemen. They may think they were being innovative, as is the case with advertisers now painting people completely in white colour, and placing them at strategic locations.

Nothing racial. There are blacks still sitting and posing comfortably, well dressed.

Is this actually racism The above picture was taken back in Dec 25th, 1923 during a Christmas celebration in Badagry, Lagos....The racist photo shows slaves painted with the bold inscriptions 'Merry Xmas Badagry, 1923" while their white masters comfortably sit and relax.....

There were NO slaves in Badagry in 1923 held by white men at least.
Except you mean ALL black men were/are slaves to whites! Is that what you mean

If you want to truly inform, kindly choose your words carefully,
Cheers!

Why are the black guys sooo black and ugly.

And dem dey bone face join their ugliness.

Do not be mistaken, there is a clear difference between the black and the white races.

One is obviously Superior.

Accepting the truth is the first step to total emancipation.

Living in self denial is slavery in itself.

There is no racism here in the picture above, even the little black boy is seen sitting in between the whites.
We all should be loving to each other.
