Racially Charged Painting At University Of Minnesota Features Child Wearing SAE Letters, Man Hanging From Noose
The forecast at the University Minnesota calls for a lot of shit raining from the sky. This afternoon, we received the following tip:
Currently in Greek life at the University of Minnesota. Today a member of my fraternity told me about at work of art featuring SAE and racial connotations on campus. After finding this art, it is a 10 foot painting depicting such things as a man hanging in a noose along with a kid wearing an SAE shirt. There are many other symbols such as a bible but the piece more or less calls out Greek life for perpetuating racism. This is in a school building and therefore would be endorsed by the University. Myself and other non-affiliated students are shocked by the art and I have a feeling shit will hit the fan once SAE and more people find out.
Here is the painting that he provided:
Don’t preach unity among students if you’re going to paint Greeks in a bad light within the buildings on your campus..
Titled “Liberal thought cloud”
10 years ago at 4:24 pmGeneralizing in a comment on a news story that’s sole purpose is to condemn the use of generalizations about Greek life, interesting debate tactic.
10 years ago at 5:14 pmKindly take a step back and fuck your own face
10 years ago at 5:26 pmI’m gonna go out on a limb here…titled “ISIS thought cloud”
10 years ago at 3:13 pmno pun intended with out on a limb…
10 years ago at 3:16 pmfunny stuff
10 years ago at 10:12 amYou could literally put every white institution that has every existed up there. These so called enlightened and edgy works of art spreads more ignorance than it tries to bring to light.
10 years ago at 4:25 pmIt’s things like this that make both liberals and conservatives look stupid. Focusing in on one event and using the media to spread stereotypes. No, not all fraternities are racist. But yes, let’s get over the fact that some members are.
10 years ago at 4:28 pmI bet the painter doesn’t know what ambivalence means, or even read a book let alone those books.
10 years ago at 4:36 pmSome people are racist and that can’t be changed. I don’t try to change gays to straight, so why the fuck do liberals try to change racists to whatever the fuck the opposite of racism is.
10 years ago at 7:22 pmProbably because you don’t understand false analogies. Go be stupid somewhere else, kid.
10 years ago at 8:50 pmThat’s my shtick, and you didn’t get a bid.
10 years ago at 11:55 pmThe left/right paradigm is just a facade. Those in power agree on most things and distract us by arguing about silly unimportant issues. The real political divide is Authoritarians vs. Libertarians.
10 years ago at 8:29 pmCan everybody just get over the fact that those kids said some words that are perceived as bad. They made no actual actions that harmed any race. Why are people so damn sensitive these days?
10 years ago at 4:32 pmLiberals that try too hard. Simple as that.
10 years ago at 4:34 pmIt’s scary that you can lose your entire livelihood at the hands of a social justice warrior for saying a mere word. As uncouth as said word may be, the consequences now on the speaker are tenfold the original effect. We’ve resigned ourselves to a lower standard of basic maturity if people can’t remember “sticks and stones”.
10 years ago at 5:29 pmIt’s scary. I’m far from a racist but I remember singing the old racist ‘Johnny Rebel’ songs when I was a young kid. I’d say 8 out of 10 of us are guilty of singing something similar sometime in our lives. At least in the south. Most of us all had that racist grandpa or uncle growing up.
A whole fraternity learning and singing that song is pretty messed up though. I know that we pledged several black guys when I was in college. They all quit though but a lot of pledges quit. Pledges actually had to do stuff to get in back then.
10 years ago at 8:34 pmBut people give no fucks about all the racism towards whites these days. You can say whatever you want about the white man, but say one bad thing about the latter and all of a sudden Obama is making a speech about it.
10 years ago at 6:20 pmSingling out others and throwing an entire national community under the bus to try and promote equality among students? Yeah, not hypocritical at all.
10 years ago at 4:33 pmYeah that is terrible. But you’re sort of doing the same thing buddy by assuming that all “liberals” have this mindset. Most liberals do not feel that all Greeks are racist, only the extreme ones do. If we’re are going to try and sit here and point out how all Greeks should’t be put in with a handful of bad eggs, then we need to not do the same thing to other groups. But I see that on here everyday, blaming something EXTREMELY stupid on “all liberals”. Many of those things cannot be blamed on all liberals, or they wouldn’t happen so infrequently. Just like extreme incidents of hazing, or racism in a fraternity, happen infrequently. To quote Teddy from a few weeks ago;”practice what you preach.”
10 years ago at 5:05 pmHe never said anything about liberals, champ.
10 years ago at 5:21 pmI was addressing this comment and the comment he made above it, the first one generalizing liberals, the second one critiquing the bashing of fraternities. I could only comment one one.
10 years ago at 5:39 pmSo you combined his two comments to make a general statement?
10 years ago at 6:12 pmNo, he’s right, I’m technically doing the same thing the artist that drew that flaming shitstorm is. Better wording on my part should have been used, or perhaps placing the blame on “leftwing extremists” instead of using the term “liberals.” Either way, fuck whoever drew this.
10 years ago at 7:40 pmLiberalism is the extreme left wing. So technically you’re correct in your use of liberals.
10 years ago at 8:36 pmLiberals are evil.
10 years ago at 6:18 pmThat poor kid looks like he’s pissed that his parents brought home the cereal box full of shitty, symbolic choking hazards instead of the Cinnamon Toast Crunch.
10 years ago at 4:35 pm^ This fucking guy!
10 years ago at 5:08 pmNo, YOU are THAT fucking guy… Get the fuck out.
10 years ago at 5:16 pmFollowed the letters from the box all the way down. Hard to believe the university allowed this.
10 years ago at 9:36 pmThat’s fucked.
10 years ago at 7:01 pmSorry to post so much bullshit today and I don’t have forum to vent to, I just want to know when does this artists music video drop and he/she gets their 15 minutes of fame?
10 years ago at 4:42 pmHo Lee Fuck, they actually let them display that in a school building. I am @ disappoint Minnesota
10 years ago at 4:44 pmYeah because this will really help everyone out. The only segregation between Greeks and Non-Greeks is the ignorance by those who partake in it. Greek or Non-Greek everyone should try in bettering society not dividing it.
10 years ago at 4:54 pmNational News Media:
Nothing to see here folks. Just freedom of creative expression working like it always does
