Personally I would like to believe that even Ray Charles would find that a bit funny if he could see it. I don't think the posting of that photo necessarily indicates a lack of respect. If it had been me posting that photo, I can honestly say it would have been done so affectionately.

As well, i kind of have the feeling that Ray Charles would have loved if someone shared a laughter with him. :) let's make this world smile!

If that person has a problem with it let them speak out. If not then shut the hell up. Spinning out something that is a mild jopke about his blindness into a racial commentary about blacks and jews is a complete non sequitur. Don't confuse two issues. It's not about him being black. This just purpetuates the idea that because he is a black man we can't enjoy a joke at his expense. That is a racist attitude to boot. Of course you'll declare that you're not a racist and that some of your best friends are black. I have no problem with people making fun of me. It's healthy!

If you don't think it's funny don't laugh at it. I'm glad you don't judge others if they feel it's funny. And I don't see how you draw his heritage and ethnicity into this. that picture would have the same humorous Characteristic if it was Ronnie Milsap.

So glad there are people like you working to stop this stuff happening.
