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

That is the single dumbest thing you’ve written on this article.

Till’s mother insisted on an open casket. She wanted people to look. She WANTED people to look. I think that’s part of what this piece is supposed to be about. A lot of people still don’t even know who Emmett Till was. That picture of the man standing in front of the painting, man, I don’t know about that. What do I…

that’s the distinction I would make as well. It was tone-deaf, but not outright malicious. Take the painting down, she won’t profit from it, and let her show continue. If the error in judgment was recognized, what more can we want that doesn’t lead to censorship or outright maliciousness on our part?

Good for them.

I generally empathized with the protest over the Emmett Till piece at the Whitney, and I thought Schutz’s response was weak as hell and full of privilege and entitlement.

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.

Protest away. Just know that the art still gets to be shown.

Oh so a temporary ban?

78 Famed Artists Including Kara Walker, Cindy Sherman, and Marina Abramovic Condemn the Dana Schutz Protest

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

I can’t help but think banning someone for having painted a single controversial work is a bit much.

I grew a vagina just for the occasion and it slammed shut and boarded itself up like windows before a hurricane.

Anybody else just feel their vagina slam shut?

Today the US lodged a letter with the UN announcing its formal withdrawal from the Paris accord. The US has also said it will still be attending future climate negotiations - presumably to try and sabotage them.

I agree. Very sad that this is the only post Jezebel posted today.

I’ve been lucky. The only one I’ve regretted was more a matter of the skill of execution. I learned the hard way the axiom that “good tattoos aren’t cheap, and cheap tattoos aren’t good”. Good luck with the cover-up!

I was getting words put on the top of my foot and the tattoo artist said he wouldn’t go smaller than a certain font size. If I had wanted it smaller he would have refused the tattoo. He didn’t want someone coming back a year later disliking their tattooing and blaming him. Their livelihood is somewhat based on…

And this is why the author is a double-asshole.

I hated this article with the heat of a thousand suns.
