8. I suspected as much, but the irony would have been wonderful

The Klansman would have had to have been tied down so he didn't rip out any of those "black stitches" that had saved his life.

10. I have to agree...

just google large magazine for zero actual hits and then look at the three photos in the snopes link....2 are sepia toned and could be related...but the klansman photo is shot completely different...exposure and shutter speed are completely different for starters and there is really no match in "message tone"....this time I think snopes got snookered.....Really look again-the first two shots affirm human dignity and are carefully composed....the klan shot shows movement blur (which of course can be faked) but worse, look at the nurses eyes-very real yet almost a black stereotype. I can't say if the photo is real or faked, but I guarantee it is not in series with the first two...

9. funny how there is no 'Large Magazine nor is there anything that pops up

'for people who think bigger than they are....no google as far as I can tell. Where did snopes find Large??? One spanish blog who shows the picture and refers to Large but no link, the link that it DOES have takes me to a nazi picture??? http://absencito.blogspot.com/2007/01/anexos-negroides-

on edit: who snopes snopes????

5. That's too poetically just to be real.

Isn't it?
