Man, you guys are too sensitive. But it is true that black racism is not really as bad as some black people like to think it is. I mean, if you call a white person a cracker or a asian a paki/chink it isn't really considered that racist. On the other hand if you call a black person a *word blocked by site proving my point further* everyone gets mad. Also, the slave thing wasn't really that bad in comparison to what the english did to the Indians, they were practically enslaved for hundreds of years. What about Romans? Aztecs? Mayans? And if you weren't enslaved most of you wouldn't be in America or England. I'm not saying it was right, however I am saying that it wasn't all its cracked up to be. I mean for flips sake get over it, it wasn't even in your time.
Shit, had to get that out of my system...
On topic: You should place the lighting so that is compliments the shadow on the render. Also, the lighting doesn't have to be so bright, put it on soft light or something.
