KEHINDE WILEY, PAINTER OF OFFICAL BARACK OBAMA PORTRAIT, PREVIOUSLY PAINTED BLACK WOMEN WITH SEVERED HEADS OF WHITE WOMEN.

As per usual, our media were engaging in yet another fawnfest upon learning of the unveiling of the official portraits of Barack and Michelle Obama. I'm nog going to dwell on Michelle's. It's substandard, and she's even unrecognizable.

But what our journos unanimously fail to mention is that Kehinde Wiley, the artist who painted Obummer's likeness, in 2012 crafted two 'works' depicting black women with the heads of decapitated white women. Via The Telegraph:

Kehinde Wiley, the artist chosen to paint the official portrait of former US President Barack Obama, previously depicted black women decapitating white women.

Wiley, who is 39 and from New York, created the two paintings in 2012 and was inspired by the Biblical story of Judith beheading the Assyrian general Holoferne. At the time, Wiley told The New York Times that he was inspired by the classical European depictions of Bible stories by Caravaggio and Gentileschi, only he chose to depict Judith as a black woman and Holoferne as a white woman. He commented: “It’s sort of a play on the ‘kill whitey’ thing”.

No president has done so much to fan the flames of racial unrest as the Obamination. OF COURSE he chose this creature to paint his official portrait. That Kehinde Wiley is gay can only have helped.



“It’s sort of a play on the ‘kill whitey’ thing”.

Ha ha ha.

Imagine the outrage - the sheer, ululating, incessant OUTRAGE.... - if a White Republican President would choose a guy who depicted beheaded BLACK women - beheaded by Whites, of course - to paint his official portrait.
