Powell's project -- created for her Installation: Urban Spaces class -- is reportedly called "Our Compliance" and aims "to expose white privilege."
"Our society still actively maintains racist structures that benefit one group of people, and oppress another," the Chicago-born artist explained. "Forty to fifty years ago, these structures were visibly apparent and physically graspable through the existence of signs that looked exactly like the signs I put up. Today these signs may no longer exist, but the system that they once reinforced still does."

Mulattoes Half the Time..
I could make that sign. It’s not art if I can do it.
Graspable?
And this is a college student?
...so they were investigating it as a hate crime until they found out a black kid did it and now it’s considered an insightful statement on race?
A white guy would have been punished.
A black guy got away with it.
And the lesson is that America is a society racist against blacks?????
Isn’t it time to end affirmative action?
Modern art is boring.
I can’t believe we’re still dealing with this crap. Blacks are like little children. No matter how much we give them, they’re always going to whine. Just for the attention. Disgusting.
Must have been something she saw on White Entertainment Television. Oh, wait.
Uhhhh . . . No, they weren't. Try 60 years ago. You weren't born then, so you wouldn't know. But to look on the bright side, if you had been born then, you'd lie about it now anyway. You're just that kind of girl, I can tell.

One more thing. I read it quickly and I thought it said "Urban Species class."
Now, why would I think a thing like that?
Little ass hole. These are the dipshits that I categorize as “non fighters” for liberty and freedom. They don’t know where, how, who, what, when freedom took place nor how it was derived. They would never fight for it if they threatened to lose it. Screw these little twirps. 16th century art students most of them.
It was a prank by a black student. He said it was ‘art’ ... most feel it was a lie to get pity...
Totally disgusting. Like the Oberlin student who dressed up like a KKK crazy... all the profs were huddling in fear... and it was a typical white liberal elite liar behind the lie.
Well, then go right ahead and put them up all over the country.
What is it with northern blacks and whites and their obsession with race?
It takes a real artist to expose something that doesn’t exist.
