I took this picture, and I selected the copyright option I did by way of donating this file to the public domain.
I'm not an expert in picture copyright, but I assume as the copyright holder I have the right to do this?
Hope that clarifies things. John Mullen Guinnog 21:41, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Crazy
That picture is crazy. Did you take that picture... Where? When? Is it a recent sign? It is so rasist Reaspond,...... Where??? It's a cool picture though! Laurathebora23 01:09, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
- It was taken in 1989 on a beach in South Africa, by John Mullen. ♠ SG →Talk 06:08, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
- Actually, at the time I took that photo, the laws it proclaimed were no longer in force. They were already phasing out these types of Apartheid by that time; nonetheless there were no non-white people swimming on the beach. I wonder if there would be now? I'd like to think so. --Guinnog 07:36, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
It should still be like that even in the US... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.8.200.113 (talk • contribs) 17:37, 1 June 2006 (UTC).
- I don't think they ever had signs that bad, even though I know they had a form of segregation there for a while! --Guinnog 17:45, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
That photo is superb. I lived in Durban in 2003 and found that the white and black areas of the beach remained [unofficially] segregated, almost to a man. It was a very strange sight indeed.Hippo43 18:26, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
