| "Nazi cake" found here |
Dear Mr. Linde,
Thank you so much for explaining how your "nigger cake," or whatever you call it, was "taken out of context." You are very clever--a marvelous talent. For your next project, please focus on some other marginalized group, say, I dunno, Jewish people. How about you make a "Hymie cake" depicting a naked, grotesquely large-nosed, Holocaust victim. Dupe a few Swedes into eating the "Hymie cake"and let us know how that goes for ya.

p.s. as for "genital mutilation," please know that some African women find this term offensive (I will use the more neutral term "excision"). They believe that excision is an essential part of womanhood. These (mostly) silent/silenced supporters of the practice merit respect too. GI
It's funny how people always come to "racist" conclusions and blame people of being racist before even learning the story.
ReplyDeleteIn this case, it is actually extra ironic seeing how the artist himself was black.
Colour-affiliation will only separate us all..
I am white myself, but I love hiphop culture.
So try to put me in a "frame" or genre if you wish. But you won't succeed, seeing as we are all unique.
Now this cake thing werent very thought through in my oppinion. But the artist had the right message with his artwork though.
there is never simply one side of the story which can provide a correct answer. One must look at a matter from different perspectives before judging.
Spread love, equalness and understanding!
keep an open mind and heart!
ONE is ALL is ONE!
Hi Triz. I agree 100% with your take on the artist. Sounds like his intentions were noble but the execution was deeply flawed...
ReplyDeleteYes, I can go for "ONE," but that doesn't mean that we have to pretend as if we are all carbon copies of each other. Black people have been brutalized for centuries by white people. So it is not surprising that some black people are anti-black--Ward Connerly comes to mind. And color doesn't separate us. It simply says we have specific histories and experiences. Hiphop is black/African American culture. It is derived from our rich history of beautiful struggle against white brutality. It doesn't mean that other groups can't enjoy rap music. GI
