So... is there a way to make an anti-racist piece of art without displaying racism?

(trying to think of a less obvious question than "are these people cretins?")

Is anyone really surprised?

These people are no different in brain power to those that attack pediatricians and the like.

The worrying thing is that democracy has failed.
youngmafbog - "Is anyone really surprised?"

I try to remain surprised, but it's difficult.

I feel as though to fail to be surprised is the equivalent of accepting such behaviour as the norm, and that is something I would never wish to be.
They always end up tying themselves up in knots.
I was criticised as usual for entering this back in August.

AOG - "I was criticised as usual for entering this back in August."

I am not sure that you were criticised. SP18 was at pains to point out that his question about your choice of subjects was genuine, so I think he was actually curious, and not using his point to have a pop at you.

Other than that, the thread proceeded as normal.
andy-hughes said "Sadly not, so I am commenting on something I have not seen, which is always a difficult position from which to start."

This was an admission made by a spokesdrone for the rabble too. He claimed that there was plenty online to be able to get a flavour of the piece and went on, and on spouting drivel.
Professionally outraged rent a mob tactics need to be examined as well as the response of the forces of law and order
Seems you can be as disruptive and vocal as you like as long as it's a right on cause.

If this is not criticism I do not know what is

*** I'm impressed and astonished at the sheer number of race stories you're able to dig out. ***

Then followed by the usual criticism by another ABer, regarding the source of my thread ie The Daily Mail.

And then reference to a 'Gloucester Old Spot' by yet another ABer.
It all seems very stupid to me, the exhibition was obviously an anti-racist work. Freedom of speech/expression has struggled in latter years; this seems to sound the death-knell of anything apart from conforming to an imposed 'norm'.
They had some harpy from the protesters on the radio, thick as 2 short planks and a racist to boot. They gave free rein to her hate filled, anti-white tirade(it was bbc) but cut her off when she called other black people coconuts.
So... is there a way to make an anti-racist piece of art without displaying racism?

I initially thought this idea was in the realm of: All cretans are liars said the famous Cretan Epimenes ....
or The only lesson from history is that there are no lessons from history.

Do you have to portray racism to be protest against it ?

Well. you can be anti-war without going to war !

also in fact - you dont have to portray war to protest against it
You can show the results - no big bang-bangs, just a picture of the ruined Warsaw would do.

Also if you were against polygamy ( I am actually )
you wouldnt have to marry a lot of people - ( do you recollect the phrase f+++++ for virginity )
neither would you have to show one man with lots of women
( he may be having a party )

nor lots of children ( could be an orphanage )

so no actually - I dont think you do have to show racism to be against it.

No mouth breathers on this thread so far - so i feel I can contribute without a flood of the usual whaaaaa ? meh etc

why didnt some of the 'slaves' go out and give the protesters hell ?
AOG - no man can be a prophet in his own country

bask in the glory of having been there first !
