From last month:

Painting of Cops as Pigs Hung Proudly in US Capitol

GOOD!

If a white teen had submitted a painting insulting to the black community I wonder how long it would have taken to get it down? My guess? Minutes.

And the press? They would NOT have been screaming about ‘free speech’...

[onedoug]

Looks like some 2nd grade inner city “art” project.

So the Congresscritter represents St. Louis and FERGUSON...................

“was one of hundreds of winners of the Congressional Art Competition”

In WHAT category?

[strange1]

“..”...what would motivate an 18 year to express himself in this way, .....”

yep...real head scratcher there..../sarcasm

[camle]

should have left it with a sign reading how this is what the democrats think of police

[RummyChick]

Ryan should have been on top of this

[jonno]

One ignoramus democrat lawmaker was actually citing the kids first amendment right to have the painting displayed.

I’m not sure what is worse - that the lawmaker could be so ignorant as to believe that the the 1A gives us the RIGHT to a “podium”, OR that the lawmaker could so easily deceive his audience...

a can of Kiwi lighter fluid and a match would have done it for me.

[Sacajaweau]

Disgusting....but tells what these kids are really like...and what they espouse....

[mewzilla]

There’s gonna be a new sheriff in town come Friday. That’s why this was removed. Congress didn’t want to give Trump the ammo.

Kid forgot to depict the beauty parlor going up in flames as “peaceful protesters” exit it carrying the cash register and all the hair extensions and beauty products they could grab. He also forgot to include the white communist agitators.

[stars & stripes forever]

REP. CLAY had an opportunity to return the painting to the artist citing dishonoring authority as the reason it was returned.

Apparently CLAY must agree with the artist’s worldview.

Who cares? There’s an invasion of illegals, some of whom are terrorists, pouring into this country, and someone gives a crap about a painting?

This picture was located on a small side panel of a 110 year old carousal in Rochester, NY.

The picture had been ignored for 110 years, until last year, when a group of the "usual suspects" deemed it RACIST and demanded it be removed.
There was some push back, but ultimately the picture was removed.
BTW, Rochester is one of the "poorest" cities in America, and a HS grad rate under 40%. Priorities don't ya know.

[plain talk]

“was one of hundreds of winners of the Congressional Art Competition”

Hundreds? What happened to winners and losers where winners are something like gold, silver, bronze? This amounts to participation awards.
