With a aggressive image people will take it that the artist is saying that all white policemen are apart of the Ku Klux Klan which is not true at all. ]]> 2017-12-04 17:13:14 UTC https://padlet.com/tj_1/5g0ksx2k3261/wish/212963091 tj_1 https://padlet.com/tj_1/5g0ksx2k3261/wish/212966687 2017-12-04 17:20:13 UTC https://padlet.com/tj_1/5g0ksx2k3261/wish/212966687 tj_1 https://padlet.com/tj_1/5g0ksx2k3261/wish/212967859 By Michael D’Antuono]]> 2017-12-04 17:22:18 UTC https://padlet.com/tj_1/5g0ksx2k3261/wish/212967859 tj_1 https://padlet.com/tj_1/5g0ksx2k3261/wish/212972567 2017-12-04 17:31:29 UTC https://padlet.com/tj_1/5g0ksx2k3261/wish/212972567 tj_1 https://padlet.com/tj_1/5g0ksx2k3261/wish/212977449 I think this is a strong powerful image that is trying to send a message ot the world that there is problems in the U.S.A and that the country hasn't change enough since slavery. These type of incidents shouldn't happen anymore in todays world every race should be treated equal. ]]> 2017-12-04 17:40:16 UTC https://padlet.com/tj_1/5g0ksx2k3261/wish/212977449
