Racially Charged Painting At University Of Minnesota Features Child Wearing SAE Letters, Man Hanging From Noose
10 years ago

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.

    I’m a member of a fraternity and I’m black. Seeing this is bullshit. Not all fraternities are racist and allowing shit like this only contributes to the distance between white and black people. Activists will talk about discrimination and police injustice etc, and granted that stuff does exist, people should live by something my mom always told me “Don’t fight the system, go to school and become part of the system. That’s how you solve the problem”

    As an SAE it hurts me to see people taking the actions of the few and putting them on our entire brotherhood. Our brotherhood does not and will never stand for this. I cant believe the ignorance of these individuals and the University administration that allowed this to happen. I can already smell the lawsuit brewing for slander.

    It literally says “lynch that n***er” in the painting. I don’t see why people are ok with a university supporting that but are up in arms when drunken assholes say similar things.
