Expert Says Airplanes Are Just Like Slave Ships

Steven Heller is a respected name in graphic design. He's written, co-authored and edited more than 100 books on the topic. But a recent post from his 'Daily Heller' blog on the Print magazine website, Heller shows that he's not the most adept when it comes to race issues.

The Printmag.com post, which has already generated a minor @!$%# storm, is titled 'A Curious Similarity,' in which Heller describes the cramped conditions of flying in a commercial airplane with the interior design of a slave ship. He even provides visual evidence to illustrate his point.
