What is a black man under 4 tons of coal? Dead.
I feel there's not reason to mention the man is black. Is it just to make fun of a dead black person?
Not racist to honest. They bring black people over here as slaves and they couldn't do anything but work under the white man.
If that's the case, then it's hurtful to make light of slaves who died while performing forced labor. They died as victims, and to make fun of them is to show a lack of caring for their lives.
