Whenever I read one of these threads,
I feel a little concerned and disturbed.
Concerned because those photos are taken from the lense of American
perspective, American interest, American history, American
experience.
Disturbed because this forum is called 'SGForums' but yet the
American reach is so far and so prominent, that some people will
quote those photos and put them up as 'Powerful Historic Pics' as
the thread title.
Perhaps a more suitable title is 'Powerful American Historic
Pics'.
Personally, I feel a little sick of the overarching American
influence in the media and its global influence.
I certainly do not take those pictures as 'Powerful Historic Pics'
worthy of the interests of members of SGForums. They are merely
domestic American photos.
If I want to, I can put up 'Powerful Historic Pics' and then I will
show pictures of domestic Singapore photos, such as one Lee Kwan
Yew crying in 1960s, or Japanese forces came marching down the
streets of Singapore.
I certainly do not think those photos are less than photos of
America in 1960s showing racial segregation.
Thank you for your attention.
Meat Pao.
