President Jacob Zuma of South Africa's Reaction to Brett Murray ‘The Spear’
Recently
a (white) South African Artist called Brett Murray made a portrait of his President
with is manhood exposed! He organized a show at a Johannesburg art gallery call
“Goodman Gallery”. Well, the portrait is
quit offensive and the president took offense saying he was hurt by it . Out of
nowhere, a political party called ‘African National Congress’ (ANC) sue the
artist and started a nation-wide campaign to punish this white man. They called
him racist, his own people reacted too (that they are the racist playing the
racist card because he is white) it all turned to a big media circus.
The
above is just a lazy cartoon I quickly sketched today. I intentionally exchange the word va*ginal.
The controversial
portrait titled “The Spear’ was later defaced (with paint) by two guys (Barend
La Carange who is white and Louis Mabokela who is black).
Am I the
only one who feels this whole thing is pointless? Why didn’t Zuma just ignore
the whole thing (after all there are even worst Photoshop images of president
like Barak Obama, and George W. Bush online)? It was later discovered that a black artist (Ayanda Mabulu) made a similar
painting 2 year earlier but no one even noticed!
The big
question is: Was Jacob Zuma really hurt, and is Brett Murray a racist?
Does Murrays
right or Freedom of Speech/expression overshadow Zumas right to privacy?...
Well I don’t just give a 4k (not a single 4k!!!).
Anyway, the
case has been dismissed, no, no, no; it hasn’t. They just had a out-of-court
agreement, mtchwww.
South Africa,
well-done for showing the world that your Black-White-skin-syndrome still persist.
