I think the whole point Is in our more racist past black people were displayed this way. It is why lawn jockeys no matter how stylish or now viewed as racially insensitive.

Apparently the boy is "Simon" and the girl is "Louise". He has tons of paintings of them on his website.

I don't see the problem, but I'm not racist, so I find it damn near impossible to see it in these kind of things anyway.

Are we supposed to restrict freedom of expression based on race to avoid hurt feelings now?


I don't disagree with you. In a society where saying god bless you can be considered offensive you need to be careful how you express yourself. I hate to say it but freedom of speech and expression is dying. Sure you can express yourself however you want but be prepared for the repercussions. You can't win anymore. God forbid we offend anyone in this country.

If the guy in the middle is the artist? Maybe.

It looks like Southern Folk art stylistically, though... and therefor and homage and not racist.

Could be construed as racist.

In truth, though, it's just a very shitty poster.

My facebook is losing it's shite over this Ponchatoula Strawberry Fest poster. Thoughts?




There's a another girl in the Dopeman's life
Not quite a bitch but far from a wife
She's called 'The Strawberry' and everybody know
"Strawberry! Strawberry! Is the neighborhood hoe"

Do anything for a hit or two
Give the bitch a rock and she'll frick your whole damn crew
It might be your wife and it might make you sick
Come home and see her mouth on the Dopeman's dick

Strawberry, just look you'll see her
But don't frick around, she'll give you gonnorhea
If people out there ain't hip to the fact
Strawberry is a girl selling pussy for crack to the Dopeman! Dopeman!

Have you run it by Jarvis Deberry, the Times Picayune's racism columnist? He seems to be Louisiana's most qualified "expert" relative to this topic.
