I don't see what the big deal is. White slaveowners did incredible things to their slaves, sometimes their own children. I mean did anyone watch Roots?
Has anyone read anything about black history? They would chop off penises of the men they lynched and this is after slavery.
If you know that today men of all races have been found guilty of molestation of even infants, then you should know that this was probably more rampant among white slave-owners who owned human property. I say she should show more. Give blacks and whites a dose of reality.

See, now that is where the problem lies. The paintings presupposed to make you think about how gruesome slavery was. But most won't get the message. Thats my only gripe. But you can't make anyone learn

Her work work has been in heavy rotation for nearly two decades. Besides Basquiat, she's probably the most well-received contemporary Black artist. She's shown at every major American art venue that there is, and has international acclaim as well.

A slave having sex with white men? That's what they call a picture of a
white men raping a slave women? Cleaning up the truth as usual.
Anywho,
I think this particular artwork maybe a bit much for a 2nd floor public
library but not for art galleries or something similar. Then again, I
don't know what type of artwork has previously been featured in the
library.
Interesting
work though and I hope some type of productive dialogue comes from displaying the artwork.

I don't mean show more in terms of actual shows, i mean in actual brutality. Be more "real" with it.

I guess this is just too sophisticated and refined for my basic palate.
