    I had to look twice at this before I realized that the patient is a Ku Klux Klan member.

    Its not real. It was apparently staged for a magazine called "Large".

    Despite many viewers' mistaking it for such, this photo is not a screen capture taken from an episode of the popular television hospital drama ER, nor is the doctor shown in the center of the picture actor Eriq LaSalle, who portrayed surgeon Dr. Peter Benton in that series. The crease down the middle of the image gives it away as a picture scanned from a printed source, and indeed it was. This photo was a staged one created for a series of advertisements in Large magazine's "For people who think bigger than they are" ad campaign, which featured depictions of people acting nobly in the face of adverse circumstances:

    Thanks for the enlightenment 'Elle' - I took it from the "Post a Funny Picture I'm Bored' thread on the ATS site.

    Never underestimate the gullibility of some people. Especially those who are sat desperately looking for something they think they can make a point with.

    This would be funny as hell if it ever happened in real life. Can you imagine if the KKK bloke was still conscious when they wheeled him in would be thinking?

    ''Oh ****, i'm gonna die'' :cheesy:

    I know it's fake, but if it wasn't I would've hoped he didn't survive.

    Of course it's fake. As if blacks have the brains or dedication to become nurses <whistle>

    They aren't black mate, it's a room full of Al Jolson impersonators.

    Perhaps he was a pinko in fancy dress as a Klansman?

    Either way, they're all God's chillun'.
