I think there's some misunderstanding here. The thread I referenced is where photographers are sharing their best photos. Reviewing this thread revealed some great photographers. There was absolutely no intent to put any political, social, or racial connotation into the selection of our featured images.
I feel you are reading too much into this. We suggest that you focus on the artistic value of photos rather than concentrating too much into the content, or selection. If you need any further clarifications, I would be happy to address them in a private message, since this discussion is diverging too much from the thread's topic.
