Description
With the U.S. elections up to a running start, I looked at the parties involved and wondered why it took so long to get this far. For example, we're one of the last countries in the world to elect a woman as president of our country. And with a country made up primarily of "immigrants," you'd think we'd be beyond racism. Thus, this piece was created.Side note: I created the pieces to this over the weekend and was in the process of putting it together. But then just recently, I went and saw Cloverfield (great movie by the way) and now that's the only thing I can think of...

Thanks for the info. Glad to see someone who sees the world that way as well.

It never ceases to amaze me what the "progressive" world view can come up with when it comes to trashing this country.
How would having a woman president improve your life?
You don't get out much do you? You have no idea what real oppression is, or what "boot-on-your-neck" tyranny looks like, or what its like to live in a country that would not let you produce your particular brand of art. I suggest you go hang out with some folks who haven't been as fortunate as you ... people from Iran, Iraq, or any communist country that pops into your head. Ask them why they came to this country. Ask the women what its like to live there. Ask them what they do to homosexuals. Ask them what happens when they call a cop.
I admire your work and would like to have you create a poster for me. It might be therapeutic to take the edge off of what is obviously a constant thread that runs through all of your work.

And Hitler only killed 14 million civilians, while Stalin's reign could've claimed over 40, so we shouldn't think of the Holocaust as a terrible thing by your logic, we should say "That's better than what he did, so it's okay."
Really, you shouldn't be taking the capitalistic approach of life being a race and you only have to do better than everybody else, you need to look at it and ask how you can make it perfect--not better than the worst, but the absolute best it can be. That's what this nation is about, and we're still working on it (little thanks to people thinking like you've stated).

everyone is a little bit racist. in my country we are not.... because we dont get a chance, if a foreigner comes he is more like to be victim of a paparazi stare in the streets than a victim of discrimination.
but yeah in the states (i went for a month in summer) there is more like a inconcient discrimination than a direct act. also some americans tend to be "afraid" of "be racists"

I'm a woman, but that doesn't make me want to run for president. Even if I were a white male I wouldnt' run for pres!
I personally don't know too many racists/sexists, just a few, and I live where nearly half of the population speaks Spanish. I believe the reason America has not yet voted either "minorities" in for president yet is mostly because none of those minorities have risen to the occasion until now. They've had 30 years to do it. Many of those minorities are in power, just not as president. I'm pretty positive that most Americans don't really care what sex or color a person is. It's mostly the media that hypes it up and likes to call all of us racists for simply existing. I would rather vote for a person's political reasoning rather than their genetics. Believe me, if Condoleeza Rice were to run for president, she would immediatly have my vote, and she fits both of your categories here. And I wouldn't vote for her just because of her sex and color, either. She does good politics, in my opinion.
But as for this coming election, I'm afraid I hate both of the candidates, regardless of sex or color, and I will be forced to vote for the lesser of the two evils. The candidate I wanted didn't make it in. And he didn't make it in mostly because of his peaceful religion...which is a lame reason if you ask me. In a way, although he was, indeed, white, he was a minority, too, regarding how viciously he was treated by the media because of his religion. It's a real shame because he had a lot more experience in foreign and financial affairs than our leading candidates, and that's what our country really needs help with right now.
And just as a random, rather silly thought, I have never understood why women have been called a minority. There are just as many women in this country as there are men. The only country I can think of where there are definitly more men than women is China.
Oh, and the colors you used are striking and effective. They really caught my eyes.

Hehe, kinda reminds me of Micah Wright's work.
Anyway, how many trolls have decided to rant about this poster being
"unamerican?"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
*heheh* It's not so much "unamerican" as it is "antiestablismentarianism." (yeah, it's a word) Just the colors make it look like those early 20th-century propaganda posters.

You mean like that one poster who claimed that conservative white males are a minority?

As much as I respect your abilities and artistic style...it's a tad cynical don't you think? This is the most free country in the world and gives the most freedom to the people whom you mention in the image.

If you say so.
Let me ask you: Do you belong to any of those groups listed?

No I belong to the new minority: Conservative, heterosexual, patriotic white males.

Well I'm fairly certain you don't belong to all three.
My point is that if you're not a minority, gay or a woman I sincerely doubt they NEED yours or anyone's help in their defense. They're adults, they can take care of themselves (in theory anyway). I also don't like how cynical the work is. I still stand by the fact...FACT that the United States of America is the safest place for th epeople you mentioned. We're one of the most open minded and tolerant countries in the world and I really hope that someday you realize that.
I dislike it very much when people look only at the negative aspects of this country. We're not perfect, but our pros outweigh our cons.
I do not mean to tell you how to do your craft or what subject matter you should do it about but I sincerely hope that you get a more positive attitude about the country you call home. I think your art will greatly improve.
That's all I have to say.

Typical narrow-minded Republican response. Everything's fine as long as I look around with blinders and just look at what's directly around me.
I'm a minority, who's married to a woman and who has a son with a godfather who's gay. I see inequality firsthand.
And you know what's also great about this country? Freedom of speech, and freedom to complain about such inequalities. Perceived or not.
And that's all I have to say.

My only nitpick is that why are those silhouettes of Eurofighters or Grippens flying above the Statue of Liberty? Those are clearly not American planes and look like the silhouettes of European fighter craft, which strikes me as strange/odd.
Admittedly, that's really nitpicking since no one minds military technical accuracy or stuff.

It's very nice. I see one of the twin towers in the background... You portray two members of the alleged afflicted groups, how about the inclusion of a nice depiction of an iconic homosexual? (whatever that is).
(Just joking, just could not resist it, ha ha, hmmm)

I love the black eyes on the statue, really gives you that sense of pure evil emanating from Lady Liberty.
All those reasons are why I support Ron Paul. I'm upset that no one will come around to his ideas, which include accepting people as they are and granting them freedom
