the POTUS choice just as he chose Wright. He is consistent in those choices no?
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.
Obama won and got out of the White House without a single scandal. You’d better worry about the cabal working at the White House right now instead of dredging up memories of Reverend Wright.
His whole presidency was a scandal. Because a sick young man had a confederate flag on his Facebook page, he wrongly said the flag was a symbol of hate while he defended the real terrorist that live to kill all Christians and their flag is O. 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.
From the OP's link:
"Wiley, who has described his own visual style as “bombastic, syrupy, and garish,” is celebrated in the contemporary art world for his large-scale portraits of black and brown men and women striking heroic poses modeled on those of aristocrats in classic European paintings.
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.

Quick can anyone recommend a safe space for these convulsing conservatives!? If help is not given I think their heads are going to explode over painting.

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?
