The mere existence of Chris Christie means that’s mathematically impossible.

Yeah, Chris “they don’t make movies that speak to me as a white man!” religious, hunting for sport, conservative dude Pratt seems like a d-bag.

Here come all the super original takes mocking their marriage’s failure because of either:

Their reps say they’ll still anger people with their treatment of pets, just individually.

The mental gymnastics here deserve a gold medal.

Very glad to see this; racial injustice is a serious issue, and distractions such as the schutz protests trivialize it.

Sadly we’ve never needed help making ourselves look stupid.

My understanding is that it’s not the painting of Emmett Till involved. They want her show in general canceled, though this painting isn’t supposed to be included in it. Just wanted to mention it because I was initially confused by this story and thought it was about the painting, as well.

The painting is not on display, nor was it ever scheduled to be on display. That is the reason some people feel this call for cancellation is is too much - it’s about a work that isn’t part of the show,

This whole incident should be a warning call to the activist left.

Art should never be banned. It allows people to explore controversy, to denounce those who commit crime or abuse and it allows people to educate themselves regarding the issue. To the idiot who commented about “white people standing up against black voices” - take a look at what you seem to be demanding:

Honestly, when I first heard about this I thought it was a troll—-some right wing fuckers ginning up outrage to make us libtards look stupid.

Siiiiiiiigh, this is the kind of crap that fulfill the stereotypes right-wingers have about liberals. All art is permitted. Make your point in scrutinizing the art, not by banning it.

Are you sure this is going far enough? Better drag her out into the street and shoot her to send a message.

I was disappointed that during the last article no one seems to have brought up Coco Fusco and what she wrote, as if a titan of the art world like herself, someone who laid the groundwork for institutional critiques, isn’t worth mentioning at all. Damn shame that a great artists voice is ignored when I bet most

The real joy of this is that every dumbass protest like this brings us closer to the day when a news or protest organization calls up a sponsor or boss with the usual “do you support this outrage”? Speech and instead of cowtowing to them the sponsor tells them to get fucked and protest away.

Oh please people! She did not pain it with blood from cotton fields slaves. Art is a free medium of expression. She does not have to be black to paint it, or even care. She did not want to shove it in your throat and put a gun at you to buy it. I think US has a huge problem with race, seeing evil everywhere.

GOOD. Don’t censor art. Although I’m sure our Orange Overlord would give a fat-fisted thumbs up for the effort.

His ‘wife OF 37 years’. He was married to her for 37 years. She wasn’t 37 years old.

There isn’t much else the police can do at this point.
