    Is calling all blacks "super predators" racist?

    Is calling all whites "racist" racist?

    Many of the liberal blacks take away your black card when you are conservative or a police officer, so in their minds, all cops are white, and calling all cops (white people) "racist" is a racist sentiment.

    Wow. Why not just have Republican art committee, where a groups of single minded folks can decide what is and what is not art?

    We could do the same thing with books, TV shows, and the like.

    Right, like how it took a decade to produce Atlas Shrugged because no one in liberal Hollywood would produce it? Or how every TV show has a gay couple?

    1681...Strange. Did the United States go back in time to build those farms?

    Anything that doesn't pass muster can then be burned in giant public bonfires while soldiers march past.

    Or it is a stupid, juvenile political fantasy that translated poorly to a movie and would not make money.....sort of like what happened.

    This kind of painting serves no purpose than to divide people further. I guess enough cops haven't been murdered yet because of divisiveness like this. How many more will it take? School kids tour the Capitol every day. Why should they be exposed to this kind of hateful narrative that fuels Liberals? I would take it down too. It's disgraceful that this Democrat wants to further racial tensions. Shame on him.

    To the mentally insane, there is no difference....look at the number of Black cops who have been murdered. And people who kill cops and people who defend the killing of cops ARE mentally insane...

    Trump looked at what happened to California with loony liberals in control of the state and yes, there are taco trucks all over California today.

    How about we get this thread back on track. IMO that picture is so evil that I believe that any member of Congress that thinks it should hang in the Capitol should resign from Congress!!!!!!!!

    Ah, the thought crimes provision.

    I jest.

    Shouldn't a public forum allow access to all art, not just right wing approved art?

    The "artist" is clearly portraying the events in Ferguson. The "artist" resides very near there, and the painting "represents" Fergusons congressional districts submission. It's extremely difficult to believe that the "pig" isn't a charicature of officer Darren Wilson. Wilson of course was exonorated, and though not racist it is certainly defamatory IMO, to both Wilson, and policeman of all ethnicites. I don't advocate censure, but I do advocate decorum.

    So there is a time limit of how far back we can reach into history to show examples of oppression?

    Its funny that the "juvenile political fantasy" isn't backed by the richest people in the world and argued against by those who would say it would make the rich richer, while defending a political system completely opposite of Libertarian (socialism) that has failed countless times and killed hundreds of millions of people in the 1900's alone.

    As far as movies go, the first one was ok, then they lost their actors and funding for the sequels.

    Well, they did get the stars and bars taken down because it was divisive. But you cant do it because they consider this to be "art".

    Please tell me that you are attempting to be funny, because the alternative is scary! You are repeating yourself which is not a good sign... last time.....Libs have spun the false narrative that cops are racists because they ONLY go after Blacks which is a blatant lie, but Libs are liars. This bogus story was started in Ferguson which was proven to be a lie, but it didn't stop Libs from perpetuating the myth. Because of this lie, many cops have been murdered, sooooooo Libs have blood on their hands.
    This "artwork" perpetuates that lie, and therefore should be taken down. Do Libs really want more cops killed? If you still do not understand, that is too bad for you. Libs should be ashamed of how low they have sunk. You are going to lose in 2017 too. Blacks did not come out in droves to vote. Maybe they are seeing the light the rest of us have seen for a long time....

    In the mind of black liberals, no matter what your skin color is, if you are a cop, you are racist against blacks cause you are technically white.

    I don't approve or disapprove. I understand the message it is attempting to convey, though stylistically it does not appeal to my aesthetic.

    This is getting comical.

    Are you suggesting that taking an artist's property that they created--something which the artist had the free speech right, at least, to create--and burning it, is the same as another person purchasing their own US flag and setting it on fire?

    Interesting to see some of the members who liked this post.
