Today people prefer controversy over debate – sadly. While I am at it, planking is a fad, it’s funny, and also not meant to celebrate slavery. Let us be analytical before cynical. I enjoyed the video.

They made a funny trailer for a movie, they didn’t write the comments. If your blog post became a magnet for racist nonsense, would you be at fault?

Haters gonna hate.

Funny how that works.
