That was a rather long-winded response to a point that was already moot. We’re all intelligent grown-ups here and we all know and understand the cultural and historical differences between Winsor McCay’s world and today. That’s why the issue of race was not brought up in John’s initial postâ€”it was not necessary.

It looks to me, steven, that you’ve had to answer to and explain your blackface paintings on more than one occasionâ€”and the fact that you’re in the process of rewriting your statement about it definitely tells me that you’ll always have to answer to it. Honestly, I find your “experiment” a simple case of shock value. There are many other ways of making your statement, but the fact that you would take photos of yourself putting on blackface and then painting said photos tells me that you just knew that that would get people’s attention. Sorry to say, but others have come before you and have done a much better job of getting their point across.

I also find it interesting that you would create a debate here in regards to race when it was totally unnecessary. Could it be that you caused a stir knowing that others would take notice of your own work? Hmmm….

In all discussions of this type, it should be remembered that not one of us can successfully predict what will be considered prejudiced or offensive 100 years from now.
