If this is not demeaning towards white women as well as being blatantly racist I do not know what is.

[ToraToraTora]

There is no such thing as racism against whites AOG, come on!

[viv38]

Imagine the furore if it was the other way round !!

[Zacs-Master]

If you care to read the article instead of the headline, you would educate yourself with the knowledge that the 'artist' (moot point) wants to draw attention to an ‘issue in the public now about black men who might think of being with white women as a status symbol,’

[Bazile]

Lol - i thought you were speaking metaphorically

[EcclesCake]

Have you rad the article AOG?

[Zacs-Master]

And, actually, thinking about it, those black guys who do think this way are actually insulting women of their own race, not white women.

[Davethedog]

Good totally not reading the article skills there AOG.

Tell you what why don't you read it, then see the point hes trying to make, which my mind is entirely valid, and then come back to us.

[Bazile]

Black women are more concerned about their hair than about what some black men think about them

[davetuc]

He looks like a right ***!

[shoota]

He is a performance artist highlighting the fact that some black males regard white women as trophies.
The girls are voluntarily taking part in the proceedings.
Did you actually read the article before posting AOG?

[ummmm]

No racism whatsoever...

[pixie373]

He's just a bit of an attention-seeking knob. Nothing more profound than that.

[EcclesCake]

What do you really think Pixie? ;-)

[ummmm]

He's an artist. Isn't his job to attention seek?

[Mamyalynne]

Interesting reading and his point is quite well made I feel.

[LazyGun]

I am sure that for some black men, a white woman might well be regarded as a trophy.

Not sure that this guys "art" necessarily reflects that though- much more likely is a cunning plan to allow him to handle naked/half naked women, all of course, purely in the name of art :) Wish I had thought of it...

[Sqad]

LazyGun.....LOL

It has been known, certainly for the last, say 50 years that black men regard white women as a prize, trophy, getting the unobtainable, but, there is a change.
50yrs ago the white woman was unobtainable, perhaps because of prejudice and hence was highly valued. Now however, the last 25years the white woman has become more easily available and now cannot be considered ..a prize trophy.

Our friend the artist is about 25 years too late.

[shoota]

But he has got a naked girl round his neck....respect, yo!

[sandyRoe]

Wasn't there a black artist who made his name handling elephant dung? Strange, the world of art.

[anotheoldgit]

Yes I did read the article and I still think (no matter his reason) the very portrayal is most demeaning towards white women.

Has been said previously if this had been the other way round, the white artist would have found it very hard to obtain the kind of support that this guy has.

I could image such comments as, "does he still think it is still colonial days and these were his slaves to do with them what he wished"?
