No. You are overlooking everything he ever did or anyone he ever associated with to focus on one artist and one reverend? In addition, I don't remember him admiring dictators and killers, such as Putin and Duterte.

Obama is a renaissance man--he has a lot more friends and associates than the two you have mentioned.

This is not a "parting shot" because Obama is not going anywhere. He's way too popular to leave.

Face it people, this was intentional and a message about who he IS and what he FEELS.
Yes, it was a message - a message that he has zero <bleeps> left to give about what small minded and bigoted people think about him.

His whole presidency was a scandal.

K. He is nothing but one huge hypocrite. You can defend him until the cows come home but that will not change the facts that he is a racist traitor to this country. And he is still spreading his poison.

Two portraits in particular, both of them modern takes on the biblical story of Judith beheading Holofernes and featuring elegantly-dressed black women brandishing the severed heads of white women"
Except that is not all there is to it. When asked about these images, the artist said "It’s sort of a play on the ‘kill whitey’ thing".

Why is racism against whites acceptable to you?

If it is not OK if the images were reversed (with a decapitated black head), this is not OK either.

That's far to complex a question to respond to. The artist here was asked why he painted the beheadings and he said "it's a get whitey thing..."

Thats who Obama chose getting him richly paid....still listening?

In your imagination, reverse the situation. Imagine Trump or another white POTUS chose an artist who had depicted white people beheading black people.

Would you still be so supportive?
