Awwwwwwww- Leftists Don’t Like Painting and Want It Destroyed

Screw you, all of you.

I decided before I even knew what the painting was that I loved this painting, not because of its subject matter, but because now leftists know what it’s like to have to tolerate art.

(NEWSER) – A painting featured in the Whitney Biennial, which opened last Friday in New York, is proving so controversial that not only is it sparking protests but fellow artists are outright calling for its destruction, the Guardian reports. The painting, Open Casket by Dana Schutz, is a depiction of Emmett Till’s body after the 14-year-old black boy was murdered by white men in 1955. Till had been falsely accused of flirting with a white woman. Schutz is also a white woman, and that’s the problem, according to those protesting her painting. “It’s not acceptable for a white person to transmute Black suffering into profit and fun,” artnet News quotes an open letter from artist Hannah Black. More than 30 other non-white artists have cosigned the letter.

While Black is calling for the destruction of Open Casket, another artist, Parker Bright, has been standing in front of it for hours at a time since Friday, blocking views of the painting while wearing a shirt that reads “Black death spectacle.” He calls Open Casket a more

“It’s not acceptable for a white person to transmute Black suffering into profit and fun.”

Well, it’s not acceptable for a non-believer to depict Jesus for profit and fun.

See how that works, you dumb bastids?

  1. Tell you what snowflakes, you give us that ‘painting’ that has Trevon Martin on the cross and depicts the police as Pigs, and we’ll trade.
    And we can both walk away

  2. That piece of shit Ferguson fingerpainting still hangs in the bowels of the Capitol. Since January 10. I don’t like that much, either, but that’s where the race hustlers have us today.

    GO FUCK YOURSELVES, AFFIRMATIVE ACTION ART CRITICS.

    I want the bumpersticker.

  3. I looked at that painting before reading any of the commentary, and I don’t get it. Here’s what I saw: Possibly a dog lying curled up on a couch (or maybe an angry raccoon), with a highway arrow sign going by on the right, pointing forward.

    Anyway – the curled up dog gave me the thought -BFH could do better than that.

  4. Or alternatively, Billy, she could hold a public burning of the painting, torched by the nearest living relative of Emmett or the nearwst BLM rep, and then smear herself with the ashes. At which point she’d be accused of disrespect.

    That might turn her conservative. Might.

  5. @BillyFuster:

    Not really. If she’s going to have a career in art, she’ll have to toe the PC line. She will grovel rather than give up her place in what she sees as a prestigious, high status profession and class.

  6. “Authorities wanted to bury the body quickly, but Till’s mother, Mamie Bradley, requested it be sent back to Chicago. After seeing the mutilated remains, she decided to have an open-casket funeral so that all the world could see what racist murderers had done to her only son. Jet, an African American weekly magazine, published a photo of Emmett’s corpse, and soon the mainstream media picked up on the story.”

    So, it’s OK for jet magazine to publish the photo, but not OK for some artist to create a painting from the photo?

  7. Here are the new rules:
    1. Whites cannot comment on the blacks or latinos.
    2. Men cannot comment on women.
    3. White Men cannot comment on anything.

    If you do not agree then you are a free-thinking conservative patriot that lives in truth. Congratulations!

  8. Of course, the inconvenient truth is that leftists- KKK members, to be specific, murdered Till. The BLM is not talking about that.
    BTW, the left have been pimping and exploiting this horrible story for years. The left is lying if they say a bunch of fundraisers weren’t based on this tragedy.

  9. That painting sucks, the artist sucks, her critics suck. They should all do the world a favor and kill themselves. The only person here I have any sympathy for here is the 14 year old kid.

  10. Its not acceptable to put a crucifix in a jar of human piss, either, but you dumbasses had to go there, huh?

    Sucks to be you! Its also not acceptable to pretend at civilization but…
