who dismissed this art as “boring”
let me school on the history of this piece we picked youngin:

the title of the piece is called NEGRO RULE

it was done in the late 1800′s
it was a political cartoon/poster drawn
to express the feeling and the disdain that
confederate white america felt would occur
if they allowed black america to gain equality
status in the united states of america.

http://www.lib.unc.edu/ncc/1898/sources/cartoons/0927.html

we chose it because of the obvious fear that some americans feel
of obama coming to power (“no experience” is the new “nigger” imo) (so you were sorta right toronto)

so in case you thought you were throwing you weight around —try and inform yourself before you put yourself in a situation you cant get out of.
