There is a long history of white artists representing black pain since before the civil war.

You have no idea what Dr. King’s intent was, other than what your culture likes to believe he represented. A white woman exploiting Black pain for fame would not be on his radar.

I saw the art. I called it lynch porn because of the subject. I’m not angry a white woman did it. I’m angry she did it devoid of context, grasp of the racism involved in the murder and her tepid responses to criticism.

Some your ilk keeps bringing up his name to condone white fuckery, the onus is on you to prove that he would.

I didn’t want them showing her work right now because I feel the museum is lending tremendous support to an undeserved artist. She has dug in her heels on her painting and refused to see the other side’s point. I don’t want to destroy her painting or her art shunned forever. But the protesters aren’t a monolith in…

She completely removed Mamie Till from the whole incident. And she completely removed Till’s body from the racist, violent context of the time. She purportedly did this painting as a mother who can recognize another mother’s pain. But Mamie’s Till pain was knowing her son was murdered because of his skin color and…

Mamie Till has been dead for 14 years. She did not (nor could not) support this painting. To say that she supported this simply because she allowed the world to see her son’s body is disingenuous and dishonest. Even more dishonest is that you accuse someone else of making a clear decision on what Schutz was trying to…

Schutz has discussed the work quite a bit, including her intentions. It’s possible to draw these conclusions from her own words.

Dr. King would still be here if he wasn’t assassinated by a white man.

She wanted people to look.

Jez has been misrepresenting this story since it started - they’re giving it the same spin as Breitbart, ffs.

I found 4 person of color. I can’t say for sure that there are any more than that without spending the rest of the evening googling for pictures that may not exist, but at least 4.

Art’s meant to have a point but it doesn’t have to be controversial.

Well what COULD HAVE HAPPENED is we could have a functioning government and trans people still able to serve in the military, and healthcare not being toyed with like a goddamn plaything, and my roommate’s mosque not being vandalized while we........... SEARCH FOR AND SUPPORT A TRULY PROGRESSIVE CANDIDATE. This is…

>>>>”I know, it’s really silly of progressive voters to want candidates who are progressive. Why can’t we all just like the newest rock star candidate instead?”  

I was actually pleased (assuming we all survive) when I heard that the Mueller investigation would proceed into 2018 .... but they have no plans to drag on till 2019.

No problem.

Get real. If you’re sitting around waiting for the perfect progressive candidate you’re going to be pushed even further away from the goals you seek than you are know. You do realize that there were candidates that, while they weren’t your perfect choice, wouldn’t have push you back as far from your goals as you are…

I’m convinced that there are some people who will vote for no one except Bernie Sanders. Guys, if Bernie isn’t around there will still be another President....
