Dscrapre Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 So I noticed that someone edited the image for the Anarchist single to turn the hand of the protagonist from black to white. Why did they do this? http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/7213/paulhj.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snaked Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 That appears to be the original artwork from the images that leaked back in April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dscrapre Posted March 1, 2013 Author Share Posted March 1, 2013 That appears to be the original artwork from the images that leaked back in April. So, basically, they changed the image, then changed it back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snaked Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Don't ask me why, but thats what they've done. I just found a larger image of The Anarchist artwork and it is indeed the same as the leaked image. (except for the typeface) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShlappinDahBass Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 I don't know what you're talking about. My original artwork on my CD is a white child's hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dscrapre Posted March 1, 2013 Author Share Posted March 1, 2013 I don't know what you're talking about. My original artwork on my CD is a white child's hand. That's so weird. Both of my copies have the dark skinned hand. I have the North American commercial release and the UK Classic Rock Fan Pack edition. Whatever, this is making something of nothing. I just thought that it's weird that there would be two different versions of otherwise the same image with the only difference being the race of one of the people. I'm about as far from a race-baiter as you're gonna get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShlappinDahBass Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Oh my. Well, it seems I am an idiot. I just double checked my UK Fan Pack, too...dark skinned. Oops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RushBoingo Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 I checked the novel version, his hand is black, but I think in my record it's white. Odd, maybe he was never black, but they were trying to show that he had alot of oil and dirt on his hands from being in the streets and working on the carnival.

Lerxster Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Well this went from to, well isn't that interesting. The skin does appear darker. They look to be different hands. Examining both, the darker skinned hand seems to have a shorter pinky fingernail. I think this would make for a very good question for Neil. I think the 'racism?' tag on this thread is pretty uncouth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dscrapre Posted March 1, 2013 Author Share Posted March 1, 2013 (edited) I think the 'racism?' tag on this thread is pretty uncouth. Yeah, I felt weird typing that. I'm not normally like this about that kind of stuff. Hell, I have nothing to even say on the topic, I'm about as white as you're going to find. If I could change it to get rid of that tag, I would.

Lost In Xanadu Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 People forget.... They also changed his name from Orenthal to Owen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMCXII Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 (edited) Ya that's weird! And judging from the image in the first post, the anarchist's hand looks darker! They switched colors! Owens hand is more obvious though.. Looks like someone actually made a point of changing it.. But why?? Edited March 1, 2013 by MMCXII Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShlappinDahBass Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Alright. We should end this before any false accusations start arising. It was probably all for good reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OGr8imL84AD8inF8sBlackSedan Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 I never even noticed he was black. I just got to thinking...I called Owen black..Now in this vomitously politically correct world we now live in I should have called him African American, but in Owens world, is there Africa and is there America? And if not, what would the PC thing to say, be? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, when you get right down to it, we are all probably of African decent if you want to go way back in time.. so really we're all brothers and sisters. Uhh.. what was the question?

Hope this helps. News to me thanks! And the politically correct term is black I'd say. As stated, not nearly all Africans are black.. Also why in the world would you assume all black people are from Africa?? People today seem to get so worried about being politically correct. It shouldn't be too hard to talk to someone with respect without worrying so much about how to label them.. I still see no racism here.. Talking about skin color is not racism lol. This post isn't necessarily intended for anyone here.. Just a little mini-rant lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost In Xanadu Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Maybe they did it on purpose to say that Owen's race doesn't matter to the story. And maybe, just maybe they want us to look inside ourselves and realize the same is true for each and every one of us. Don't let your race define your journey. Don't let others tell you what you are based on the color of your skin - follow that dream and you'll never regret the journey getting there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
