It has a very ministrel appeal to it, shows in while lofted the docile and dumb nature of slave children




This must be the first time I have ever agreed with you. At first glance I thought the artist must be an idiot to think this was a good idea.

Perhaps black people should be happy that they were going to be recognized AND perhaps some black people are a bit too sensitive, THIS picture is much too close to a line that has been drawn. It was a dumb idea.

Explain what you mean by "happy that it's recognized."

Very dumb idea on the festivals committee to not screen this.

Ultimately, it's just bad publicity for an otherwise great cultural event. We (louisiana) are in the news some something backwards..again.
