use of the word “racist” is pretty much always a projection these days.

White folks think it is art.

(It may not be Art and his little girl friend, it may be Obama and Moos-hell.)

I looked at it. Rassiss.

Better make that an odd number of /s, else they cancel out.

“I know what that poster represents. … It is offensive. It is distasteful,” said Morris, president of the Greater Tangipahoa Parish NAACP branch.

In addition to being the president of the local NAACP, apparently this Pat Morris is also a mind-reader.

I pretty sure at this point God is considered racist.

In fact, i seem to recall in the news lately where some black racist actually said that. But at this point I really don’t care enough to look it up and post it here. yawn….

The artist should have gone with the original conceppt.

That one used a half of a watermellon full of fried chicken floating in Grape Drank.

But the Fried Chicken Caucus complained that it was overtly animist and demanded a change.

Actually, if you dare disagree with the race baiters, regardless of your color, you’re a racis’.

If the poster had been for watermelon or fried chicken; then, yeah, probably racist. But STRAWBERRIES?! Nah! Just a rendition of 2 cute kids. Of course the racism pimps have to grab at any and every straw that floats by.

Now this could be good! Maybe all the ‘offended’ will avoid the Strawberry Festival. Result-less stealing and uncivilized behavior. More likely they will go to disrupt it. It’s a no win-if the art had NOT depicted black kids, it would be racist, two black kids=racist. If there had been facial features depicted, it would have been offensive and stereotyping. Maybe if the kids had been shown with Glocks...
Couldn’t pay me to go anyway- too hot and everything is overpriced.

My grandparents owned a strawberry farm in the Ponchatoula area. I picked strawberries alongside blacks who were well paid and I NEVER saw any signs of racism. I was never paid except that I got to eat some of the strawberries!

This guy is a joke!

Yeah, and if it was two white kids they be bitching because there are no blacks on the poster.

Yep, I expect that'll be next year's whine.

Is there anything that’s not racist?

I can’t wait for the watermelon festival posters.

They would have screamed bloody murder if their poster had no blacks in it (or at least a representative 13% of a black) ... you can’t win for losing with these racists.

Cute painting. I like it.

My only problem with it is,
why is the girl carrying the basket of strawberries while the boy has his hands in his pockets? Shouldn’t he be the gentleman and be carrying the basket for the lady?

I will only eat the black ones. Does that make ME racist?

The artist is white. So it must be racist...

He seems to be fascinated by the graphic quality of black limbs against a variety of backgrounds, as an artistic theme. Click here to see his portfolio of paintings.
