What a truly odd article.
A very partially clad black female painted (by a woman) in 1800 France is somehow a symbol of racism in America.
She makes little or no attempt to explain why this painting means what it does, but apparently it has something to do with partial nudity and the model not being given a name or other identification.
As if white nudes were never painted, or white models were always given full and complete credit.
And what is this weird bit about “the eyes.” Does she seriously think all men track her convinced she is some sort of hypersexual person because of her skin color?
Yes, attractive women are followed by men, but it is almost always admiring, not threatening.
She took the long way ‘round the barn (not a racist comment or a reference to animals, just an expression) to make her point that America is a racist country. I don’t know why the soft peddle but then she’s went to Columbia and hangs with that crowd.
