Not sure why you’re claiming that an African-American artist is mocking “African culture” when he stated that what his work does. If some people don’t understand it, they should do their research.
I agree, but the woke crowd is butt-hurt over everything these days.

I honestly do not understand this “woke” business. We have posters who complain about what they consider “woke” trying to “out woke” the people they consider “woke.” It’s all silly.
Wow. Talk about splitting hairs! It can still be my opinion: “People should use less salt.” Obviously, that’s an opinion.
People should use less salt is NOT an opinion. Just sayin.
Aim to be more precise in your writing. Your posts often come off with the authority that that you do not possess. It is not god given to you as far as I know.

Let me help. I don't agree with the woke, but I stand by their right to have their opinion. The actual "woke" are fascist and want to cancel and bully anyone with a dissenting opinion. Conservatives, moderates and traditional liberals support freedom of opinion and free speech. The new woke left which seems to include most democrats these days does not. See the difference?
In addition, the woke go out of their way to be offended. Some are just weak minded, while others want to use wokeness and emotions for control.

So have some posts in this thread crossed the line in to the cancel culture territory? I still don’t fully get the newish terms. As far as cancel culture and woke is being used- does it only apply to the left or can it be used to describe behaviors from any political ideology? I have yet to incorporate these terms in to my vocabulary and ask for guidance.
Can you imagine the uproar if a White artist created that? THEN the leftists would be recognizing how racist it is.
This was my thought exactly. A White artist would be absolutely crucified for creating this.
Apparently, some on this thread think the rest of us are just not "sophisticated" enough in our exposure to art and culture to see the true supposed meaning and beauty in this absolute monstrosity, that they with their oh-so-highly trained art interpretation skills, can see
I wonder how long the thing will stay up before it's pulled because it's so "misunderstood".
