I do not think that this is racist. If you look closely at the picture you can see that he is clearly shooting the PC and not the black fellow. If more people had done this back in the late 80's I'm sure the Amiga would have had a brighter future.

So the title "Kill A N*gg*r" doesn't kind of give away the intention if the picture wasn't explicit enough?

Good thing only a small number of neaderthals will see this dreck. Not like the 20 million people who joined the Ku Klux Klan thanks to the film "Birth Of A Nation".

Well, if you read the info I don't think it is a co-incidence.  It is clearly personal and not intended as a slight on an entire race, however unfortunate the title.

Given the nick of the target too, I doubt if he is of black origin and is most likely of Arab or Pakistani origin.

So none of us here knows what went on between these too.  Indeed, the Khan could have been racist to PEM and he was retaliating.  It was over 20 years ago, was a personal spat, so indeed, who cares.

Personally I don't think there is any such thing as racism, only prejudice.  Calling it racism, is by definition racist itself, so I prefer to stick to prejudice.

It's an anagram for "Gal like ring" or more likely "Gal rile king" the PC was the king of computers and shooting it would definitely rile some one up.
