The art critique
Posted: Fri Jun 26, 2015 7:55 pm
At an exhibition of modern art a lady critique is overwhelmed by a photograph of a row of naked African men sat on a bench, one of whom has a rather obviously white penis.
"This photograph is truly remarkable in the way that it personifies the strife and prejudice that racism brings upon the peoples of Africa. Notice the fatigue in the eyes of this terribly afflicted man whose unfortunate skin malady singles him out like a martyr among his ethnic brothers"
A man also viewing the photograph corrects her appraisal...
"I am sorry to inform you madam but, your assumptions are wholly incorrect!"
She retorts...
"I am a highly regarded critique of the arts, who are you to challenge my views?"
"Well, I am the photographer, they are not Africans, they are coal miners and the one on the end managed to go home for lunch!!!"
