Black people don't have lips ?
in that style of art? no
just like the figures at issue have no other physical characteristics of note
and there is a historical use of lips in degrading black people in art, so you have to avoid lips. be real

I don't understand the reasoning behind stopping the selling of this poster.
So the NAACP says they would boycott the festival. So fricking what!! What does that even mean?
They're not going to block the road leading into town. This festival is the 2nd largest in the state and 100's of 1000's of people will still come regardless of these fricking racists idiots in the NAACP

Black face lips weren't always white.

Naacp is a racist organization. Majority blacks are racists...

The NAACP is such a joke. How does anybody take them seriously. They even have part of their name " Colored People" that is offensive to them, yet there it is. Ha Ha

A white artist paints dark people- rascist
A black artist paints dark people- acceptable art
You are infringing on freedom of expression. Thanks PC SJW, NAACP.

now, the lips were a foolish inclusion. if the picture didn't have the lips, i doubt there is an outrage

have a slight glimmer of hope reading WWL'S Facebook comments on it. There have been several black people calling out the NAACP or at least saying the painting wasn't racist and should have remained.

Hemmerling got a pass for being a racist.
Did you ever speak to him? I knew him and his brother my whole life and I can honestly say that neither one of them were racist.
