And how would I know that?

There is no such thing as pure and simple art. There is always a context or artist's desire to invoke certain reaction.

Yes, blackface is totally ok in Russia for a simple reason. They do not have a clue about minstrel shows in US and more often than not blackface there is done without any desire to humiliate the blacks. It is done in theater and opera, during classic performances, like Aida and Othello. It does not care a racist…

Yes, Russians on the average are casually racist and do not tend to notice it. This photo had different reaction in Russia. People were blaming reaction to it on over tolerance and excessive sensitivity. Most saw a pure PR move.

And arms. As in arms dealer.

Unlikely. They want to be human rights advocates for prisoners. They are not interested in staying here.

She is not just a socialite. She also runs a clothing company Kova and T. You know what I mean. )

I think you are forgetting all background story about slavery. While black woman sitting on a white one would be also racist, it would not be as offensive, because white people did not endure slavery form the black people.

I think this teacher should not be allowed to teach kindergarten again. That said, this incident should invite a discussion on the subject of why prepubescent girls breast exposure is still considered indecent in US, while boys breast exposure is not (if that was not the case, I doubt that this kind of punishment was…

I think divide and steal is higher on his agenda. (((

Also, this is cherry picking the bible. No one insists on stoning disobedient wives and children, of wives who were not virgins on their wedding night. But with declaring that gay people are abomination? Yeah, everybody's on board. Hypocrisy and idiocy at its finest.

By itself? No. But I still have hope.

Yeah, asking Virgin Mary to get rid of Putin then and criticizing his policies and conditions in Russian prisons now, of course, where is consistency?

Do you know, what Maria Alekhina said upon the news on the possibility of an early release? "Is there a way not to get out now? I still have some things to do here". She meant her attempts to attract attention to very poor and not quite lawful conditions and labor practices in her colony. She is not done making life…

They both are very beautiful. And smart as hell.

It does not say it here, but Gisele said something like "there should be a law to breastfeed at least for 6 months". I have a problem with this kind of thinking and this kind of laws. Because there is a number of women for whom breastfeeding is not an option for a variety of reasons. And shaming them or punishing them…

Some major pro-female heroines lobbying of Hollywood is well overdue. As for presents, my 4 year old's favorite toy is a submarine that can be disassembled and assembled as an airplane. That's MIT oriented stuff. :-)

Yes, they actually call themselves by English words.

Exactly. It is sad though, that the message is totally lost on most of people.

I am personally not put off, because I think it was drawn not for offputting, but for driving home the point, that we do not even think much how sexualized are women in Disney movies. Guys are sexualized, we are disturbed, but with women it is normal? These drawings are just invitations to a conversation.
