[This Pic](http://images.shoutwire.com/pic_full/the_negro_community_frowns_upon_your_shenanigans_jpgf80b0137-9225-4ee9-aaf5-9bce2d844d86.jpg) has been linked on this board many times and has appeared in countless other places on the web over the last several years.
Does anyone know the origin of the pic or who the people in it are?

What ever it is I’m sure it’s a real hoot. Those coloreds are alway up to something.

That photo has always looked Photoshopped to me.
Although, with the caption added, it’s pretty funny.

I searched on [Tineye.com](http://Tineye.com) and found [this](http://laurbanroundtable.typepad.com/my_weblog/photo_gallery/). Tennie Pierce was a Los Angeles fireman who was served dog food by his co-workers then they retaliated against him when he went to the brass. He sued, L.A. settled out of court.

Well, they say black men never smile for photographs.
The man in the upper right hand corner seems out of place.

Damn, that’s amazing. I’d never heard of tineye. Hmmm, now I’m trying to think of other images to reverse search.

There’s also a tineye Firefox extension, if you use Firefox.

The cat to the right of the man at the mic looks as if he has seen every secret shameful thing I have ever done.

I love the way there were all these people in the picture, and they named TWO of them, and said that one of them was “on the right.”
And I’m sorry, but being served dog food by your coworkers? That’s kinda funny in itself.

Haven’t got a clue who they are, but that caption makes it one of the top million funny pics on the web.

I first saw it on 4chan a while ago. I’m assuming it originated from that half of the internet.

To /b/ or not to /b/, that is the question.

And he looks pissed about it also.

Eddie Jones, the guy furthest to the right, looks as though he’s just come in his keks. It must have been a powerful speech!

I don’t give an amoeba’s fart if it’s true or not, it freaking funny.

Hijack:
Since /b/ has become the haven for child porn that it has, what stops the various agencies from prosecuting people who go there? I mean, if you have been there once you know not to go back, so I would think repeated viewings would be suspicion of viewing child porn, even if you don’t have images on your local PC. Offsite storage, if you will.

I knew /b/ was a sewer but I didn’t know it was that bad. Ugh.
I think whoever suggested that the pic originated from somewhere like 4chan missed the mark. It’s not offensive enough for those bottomfeeders.

It’s like he didn’t know until he took off his sunglasses.

When he tells you how “deeply disappointed” he is, he’s going to say it twice with a very low voice while shaking his head.
