Amazing what passes for art these days .

--
The National Art Museum of South Africa in Cape Town will feature an exhibition titled “**** White People” created by Dean Hutton, who’s white himself, sparking an outrage.

According to the description of the artwork in the museum, Hutton said the exhibition was meant to provoke white people. “White people made racism and made sure it is deeply embedded in our social systems, laws, economies, institutions and individuals. So this provocation is here to make you feel that ‘white pain’.”

Hutton also added that doesn’t believe reverse racism exists. “I would like to remind the good doctor that the reverse of racism is love, and celebration of difference. ‘Reverse Racism’ is a fantasy of white people who are keen to experience the kinds of oppression that they have used against indigenous people of this country.”

It's in South Africa. Really, another "problem" that is none of our business.

Whoa that is horrifying and I hadn't heard of it . I guess it's not important for mainstream media to report on it

"According to experts and estimates compiled by citizens who track the killing spree, at least 3,000 white farmers in South Africa, known as Boers (from the Dutch word for “farmer”), have been brutally massacred over the last decade. Some estimates put the figures even higher, but it is hard to know because the ANC government has purposely made it impossible to determine the true extent. With the total number of commercial farmers in South Africa estimated at between 30,000 and 40,000, analysts say as many as 10 percent have already been exterminated. Even more have come under attack.
It is worse than murder, though. Many of the victims, including children and even infants, are raped or savagely tortured or both before being executed or left for dead. Sometimes boiling water is poured down their throats. Other attacks involve burning victims with hot irons or slicing them up with machetes. In more than a few cases, the targets have been tied to their own cars and dragged along dirt roads for miles.

I'm sorry that the art in a foreign museum offends you. Would you like some play-doh, snowflake?

Maybe you should petition the artist to exhibit in L.A

The left is all OK with racism now? And you wonder why no-one takes you seriously anymore.

When will you understand? Double standards don't work, and just make you look power grabbing fools. SMH.

The Left isn't "okay with racism" we simply don't care what's in a museum on the other side of the world. I don't get riled up about Zwarte Piet either. Do you? Or do you only care about racism when whites are the "victims".
