Congressional hearing were held today on Russian meddling in our political process and were told that the Russians are gearing up to disrupt the 2018 mid-terms.
That is a far more important story than one about a painter who made a idiotic painting of a black woman holding a severed white head.
I am sure that we can find many a white artist that drew just as disturbing images.
Would these be the same Russians that Obama told he would have more flexibility with after the election? The same ones that Obama attacked Romney for identifying as a threat, saying "the 1980s called and want their foreign policy back"? The same Russians that the Obama admin sold 20% of America's Uranium to? Maybe they are the Russians that paid Bill Clinton 1/2 million dollars for a 1/2 hour speech? Just want to make sure I have the right ones in mind here.
As far as the "story about a painter"-it's a story about a racist a-hole that used a racist painter to create a really weird little portrait of himself. Now...any idea if this "official portrait" was paid for with taxpayer dollars? That I haven't seen covered.
Your question is BS but I'd rather have hidden sperm in a painting than a wife beater with no security clearance as the president's right hand man in the White House.
I agree and all of the posters talking about sperm are acting like it's actual body fluid instead of tiny symbols hidden in plain sight...IF it's even true. Personally, I don't believe any conspiracy theory that is spread by FOX News and Hannity. If it turns out to be true, it's not a big deal. Quite of few famous artists have put secret symbols in their paintings. It's part of the mystique that comes with the study of art.

The Smithsonian Museum gave the Obama's a list of artists to chose from and they chose two from that list. Each painting cost $500,000 and were paid for by private parties. When the official portraits that will hang in the White House are completed, I'm not sure who pays for them.

Obama won and got out of the White House without a single scandal
I'm not going to argue with you about it, but that is a matter of opinion based on one's definition of what is scandalous, or constitutes a scandal.

You’d better worry about the cabal working at the White House right now instead of dredging up memories of Reverend Wright.
Not everything is 'Us vs. Them'. Not everyone who was critical of Obama re Reverend Wright is a Republican, or a Trump supporter, nor are all even white.
Let me guess. You were NOT an art history major in college. Nor apparently a biblical studies student, since the scene portrayed is a take on bible story.
The artist himself stated the works are his take on "kill whitey."
