Can you imagine if a White President had their portrait done by a White painter who had painted these in 'reverse'....?
The cry would be worldwide...and deafening.
""While the recently unveiled official portraits of Barack Obama and his wife Michelle have drawn scrutiny for being well, kinda weird, heres another fun fact that might be worse than the paintings themselves.
It turns out Kehinde Wiley, the artist former President Obama hand-picked to paint his Secret Garden-esque likeness, also has a penchant for painting disturbing images of black women holding severed white peoples heads.
Heres a fun example:""
I think this artist did a FANTASTIC job with Michelle. It captures her elitism, snobbery and anger perfectly.
That is some seriously F’d up $hit!
Wow...
When blacks riot, cities burn.
When whites riot, continents burn.
The cry would be worldwide...and deafening.
The politics would be more important than the ethnicity or skin color. I easily imagine a leftist white painter painting such things as "protest" against those Violent White People.
Even if these paintings weren't anything like that, a leftist president would have leftist defenders. The important websites would have pieces complaining about conservative philistines who don't just "don't understand" Real Art and who decorate their homes instead with Head of Christ and Thomas Kinkade.
He is truly demented.

Can you imagine if President Trump had his official picture painted by someone who had painted pictures with women triumphing with black people’s severed off heads hanging from their hands?
Regarding green background of OBAMAS portrait...
Green
The color most strongly associated with Islam is green because it has represented Islam for centuries. Many Islamic countries such as Saudi Arabia and Iran feature the color green on their national flags. Some believe that green was the Prophet Muhammads favorite color, and it is mentioned in a number of verses in the Quran as the color that will be worn by the inhabitants of paradise.

Green has other properties, too, that make it a natural fit for Islam and the Middle East. Its a symbol of nature and lifeespecially potent in the dry desert. Mohammed invoked this connection when he wrote about a folkloric figure called al-Khidr, or the Green One, who symbolizes immortality.
