All you who thought the Reverend Wright thing was an aberration, or the 1st call after his inauguration to the PLO was a prudent move, or sending the AG being to Michael Brown's house after he attempted to kill a police officer, or gifting Iran, CASH, attempting to thwart Trump's election....on and on.

His parting shot. The man... is and will be a racist pig of a man and a traitor to our Country.

All the pretty words Y'all believed.

Don't expect a lot out of this thread...they picked some random artist they never heard of to paint their portrait.....just like they never heard what their reverend said either after being in the church for 20 years..

So what.

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.

Reverend Wright earned the right to say whatever he felt like saying.

I don't fear art. It is art. The artist is not decapitating people, she is painting images.

Do you think comic book illustrators are violent because they illustrate violent acts?

The thread is about the fact that they selected a painter who advocates killing white people...or was that to difficult?

Care to answer about the OPs point? Of course not, we know you agree with obama and the people who did the painting.

As for worrying about your current president, not even worried. But you seem to be, maybe you need to go get in a safe safe, and cry for at least the next 2+ years....and hopefully the next 6+ years....then Pence will take over.

GO ahead, call me bammer, blah blah blah, the same stupid crap you say every time....even though I've told you I was not born here, just set myself up to live the rest of my life in a GREAT position.

the POTUS choice just as he chose Wright. He is consistent in those choices no?

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.

But it doesn't matter. Obama could have dug up Gilbert Stuart to paint his portrait and haters would have hated.

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"

Snowflakes gonna melt.
