President
Barack Obama has taken a decidedly low-key approach to racial issues
since he became America’s first black president two years ago. But in a
hallway outside the Oval Office, he has placed a head-turning painting
depicting one of the ugliest racial episodes in U.S. history.

Rare White
House message on race? Obama is nothing without
racism. His political bones were made using race. His
early speech and writings were steeped in racial hatred.
He was elected because of race. He as been a
(aggressively) passive-aggressive racist since coming to the
White House, and this is just another example. Barry whatever his
real name is has set the country's race relations back 50
years, and I'm pretty damned sure it's intentional. There
are myriad reasons to despise this man; this is just one of them.
In 60 years people will be referring to what they watched on "the Obama
Channel," if you know what I mean. Sheesh.

The 'suits' in that photo were Republicans. The southern dims fought integration.

We have a president who is both a constitutional scholar and an art critic. That is sooo cool!
ReplyDelete"Um -- despite being a typical white person -- you know -- Norman Rockwell -- uh -- really got that little African-American girl's skin tone just about right."
Look at the photo, not just the Rockwell work. What do you see?
ReplyDeleteI see Ruby Bridges, Lord Smug and his Smuggettes.
They are smug and self-righteous because they all were in the Selma March with Dr. King. Just ask them. They'll lie outright or say they were there in spirit and that qualifies them. Ruby Bridges,her portrait, and Norman Rockwell deserve better than that crowd.

"The southern dims fought integration."
ReplyDeleteYes they did. It was probably the last smart move they made in defense of the American education system. Since then they can fuck up a steel ball with a rubber mallet in a sand box.
Ugly? BS
ReplyDeleteLynching was ugly.
The episode Rockwell illustrated was frikkin' heroic.
frikkin' heroic
ReplyDeleteWhich is why Captain Bullshit & Co. don't deserve to have that painting for their own private use.
Captain Bullshit's latent racism is a disgrace to the moment depicted there.
Could Uhbama have settled for a first class print of it? Of course not; his gigantic ego would never lower itself to that, and IMHO, he's no better than Goering and his appropriated art collection.
It should have remained in the Rockwell Museum where the public could think on it.

Hey ...remember when gay students had to be escorted by federal troops into classrooms?
ReplyDeleteYeah, me neither.
