The mods reponse to this have made a subscriber out of me . It ' s sadly becoming more rare to see such fervent defense of free speech , but damn if you guys didn ' t step up to the plate on this one .

If purposeful , what do you see in the image that gives it emotional resonance for you ? For me , the contrast of the black person and white hat intrigues me , but I agree with the other comments that the background distracts from the photo rather than adds to it . For me , my eyes start going immediately to the store sign . <| sep |> I don ' t think you are a failure . I also don ' t know you , but I ' m sure you have succeeded at many things .
