Obama And His Portrait Artist... |
By
Ted Wilson |
Why would Barack Obama select an official White House portraitist who
has a penchant for painting black women decapitating the heads of young
white women? Militant black artist Kehinde Wiley, like Obama, was abandoned by his African father in childhood. So perhaps they share much in common. When asked about his earlier works, Wiley acknowledged they were re-workings of the Renaissance era depicting the fury and righteousness of the modern black woman and "a play on the 'kill whitey' thing." Huh? My take: Wiley is floridly gay and the substitution of women in the role of the traditionally criminal black male masks a yearning for castration. Might Barry help Wiley pursue gender reassignment in 2018 America? Michele Obama's official portrait will hang alongside her husband at the Smithsonian Museum in Washington. Her portrait better resembles Jennifer Lopez (attached, with artist Amy Sherald), I'd say. Will these lasting indignities snap white America out of its coma? ****************************** South Africa's African National Congress is trying to push out failed President Jacob Zuma, with little success, in favor of Cyril Ramaphosa. It's akin to rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. Cape Town has 67 days until the taps are expected to run dry, and runaway crime is swamping the nation.
