Great painting. I want this poster on my wall at home. This exemplifies the state of America today to a tee. It's tough being Black in America...we're born suspects (male or female).

It's the institutionalized racism in profiling that is the problem and the fuckin' point of the painting. Idiots run amok in America. 2+2 is complex for them.
