Georgia 1996-2003 controversy over the confederate flag as a symbol of Racism:
“Wherever that flag is flying, we’re going to protest and demonstrate,” Beasley says. “Atlanta and Georgia will never be truly international as long as they are immersed in the sort of racism that is a fact of daily life here.”
Georgia today. Something more explicit:
Atlanta City Hall’s choice of artwork is creating an uproar. Especially the piece with the secret message that says, “Politically it’s OK to hate the white man.”
The curator doesn’t see what all the fuss is about:
The exhibit is designed to showcase both well-known artists as well as those just starting out. The piece that is garnering all of the attention is called “Formula For Hatred.”
“If I had thought it was offensive, I would not have agreed to show it,” said curator Freddie Styles.
And the city’s reaction?
City officials have refused to remove the anti-White propaganda from the government building.
Soooo battle flag of the south rejected because of it’s connection with racist groups and the battle to maintain slavery? Evil must be removed. An explicit racist message attacking a specific ethnic group? Art.
Oh and please don’t insult my intelligence and history by trying to claim that the Civil War was not about slavery. The people who make that claim are the original truthers.
UPDATE: Apparently there is more to this than meets the eye. The artist explains here.
