Future Bigots, today
November 4, 2009
Pretty upset about the recent repeal of gay marriage in Maine today, so I made this to illustrate a point. Original photo: The Lynching of Will Brown, other than the detailing, I did not modify the happy expressions on the lynchers faces as they posed for a photo.
Nooses alive and well
October 30, 2007
Racism alive and well indeed. Recently, since mid 2006, there have been a rash of nooses springing up all over the nation. Not lynchings per se, but the a noose hanging ready in an area frequented by the supposed black targets is a very powerful symbol of hate and oppression.
Frankly, I only read about these nooses recently and it boggles my mind that in the 21st century, this is still a problem. DiversityInc has a good noose wrap-up article and “Noose Watch,” complete with an interactive map of recent reports.
