Black Man At Home Pro

[Cuban]

Is this a positive image of a black man?

No. Because he appears to be Indian not Black, and he is mistaking the German Swastika (tilted at 45 degrees to the horizontal) to the "original" usage for the Swastika which should be horizontal. Unless he is being ironic and reclaiming the Swastika for traditional usage. This is where the politically correct fall down - they mistake the "Good Luck" Swastika for the Nazi Swastika - but are unwilling to accept the education that they are different. If you read the link below about the history of the Swastika in connection with early aviation and Finland in particular you will be wiser than you were ten minutes ago.

The swastika is a historical sacred symbol in Indian religions. It rose to importance in Buddhism during the Mauryan Empire and in Hinduism with the decline of Buddhism in India during the Gupta Empire. With the spread of Buddhism, the Buddhist swastika reached Tibet and China. The symbol was also introduced to Balinese Hinduism by Hindu kings. The use of the swastika by the Bön faith of Tibet, as well as later syncretic religions, such as Cao Dai of Vietnam and Falun Gong of China, can also be traced to Buddhist influence.

Darkie Toothpaste had to change its name to Darlie because of complaints, but it still sports the same image:

However the picture of the guy has been softened considerably.

whats wrong with the second one? it says war-agitator and war-extensionist....reminds me of good old Israel and the palestina problem

Some years ago they named a toothpaste Darky...there was a black man on it. Its called Darly now but the black man is still on it. Heard some find Darkie racistic.

Recently arrived at Carrefour:

What surprised me was that it is an Australian (more-or-less-English-speaking-country) brand.
