If a BW drew d (yes, drewd) a bunch of pictures depicting field negresses aggressively pursing slave masters for sex, how much money y'all think the she would make off the artsy fartsy guilty white liberals? Jus curious.

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.

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

Like, actual drawings instead of silhouettes? Because of her work, the piece that's being displayed in the library is almost tame. She shows slaves giving fellatio to horses while their masters look on and laugh, slaves being forced to eat feces, a man's genitals being decapitated as he's being burned alive...it's brutal.

Exactly. Show more of the brutality. Sure its hard to digest but it happened. Like what if she were to do a depiction of the pregnant black woman who was lynched and whose baby was cut out of the womb and stomped to death by white racists. Maybe just reading about it isn't enough to understand the brutality of racists.

The blobs of black ink does her work a disservice as it does not depict anguish in the slaves faces. from the pictures in the OP, the slaves look like willing participants. But again, I'm not that sophisticated when it comes to this kind of stuff.

I want more gruesome details of slavery.
Too many people think we just picked cotton and fetched water.

Do you feel that the people who think that way, would actually go to an exhibit that showed the gruesome details?

Sorry but this bitch crazy. Just did some research on her and she has been quoted as saying, "All black people in America want to be slaves a little bit."
Nah, shawdy. Too rich for my blood.
