@Callie Williams Actually, you should do some research, the oldest known tattoo was on a white guy, Otzi the Iceman, who died and was buried beneath an Alpine glacier along the Austrian–Italian border around 3250 B.C. The second oldest tattoo belongs to a mummy from El Morro Chile. The third oldest tattoos belong to Egyptian mummies dated around 2000 B.C.

And what's all this about me being a racist? You're the one who sounds racist here. My comment was a lighthearted joke.

P.S. - Did you actually call Debbie Snax a "racist?"

Incredible work, the concepts of the art really gave me some new ideas to think about when approaching my own work. I create group art projects in prison settings where inclusivity is not always prevalent in the culture, but it’s at the forefront of the art projects. These perspectives are so eye opening.

Love the work! It’s clearly making an impact based on all these comments

It blows my mind how folks refuse to read or research or....idk listen to black voices clearly telling about their lived experiences. If we're going to move forward in society we first have to shed light on the dark shadow, the nasty and uncomfortable parts. If it makes you irritated or squirm then inspect that feeling. This is thought provoking and I appreciated seeing a follow up video on her work.

:D

Tattooing is "a traditional white thing to do." 6:29 < So doesn't that count as cultural appropriation?

michaelrose93

@jack firmin But white people aren't privileged, so many whites are dirt poor, such as those that live in the Ozarks, where some of my relatives came from. Blacks are the most privileged people in the country, what are you talking about? Blacks get all sorts of unfair advantages, hired preferentially, easier for blacks to get into college, special grants for blacks to start businesses, or get loans for college, etc. etc.

@jack firmin so because of your perception of women of color being downtrodden, they have rights that white males don't?

jack firmin

I would say tattooing as an artform has a more white history yeah... but since its a global artform, always was, and white people are still more privileged then for example person of colour of women, its okay to use that art, yes.

Tattooing is definitely not a traditionally white practice. Tattooing has been around for centuries and it's been done by POC especially African people for forever. Just because the history of tattoos has been rewritten to paint white people as pioneers as the practice of the craft doesn't make it true at all. I highly recommend that you research the history of a topic before you try to reconstruct it to fit your racism, and that also goes to the tattoo artist in the video who originally said that tattooing was a "typically white thing".

2:48 "I want them to think about ways that their whiteness adds to racism experience throughout the globe, regardless of whether they think they're involved"

Soooo judging them based on their skin color rather than the content of their character, got it.

wojoness

@jack firmin and what does you being white mean in a global context, exactly?

I'm "butthurt" that people are viewed as members of groups instead of as individuals. I am not responsible for the actions of my white or black ancestors, nor my white and black neighbors today.

Assuming your college professors taught you to feel guilty for the color you happened to be born as?

jack firmin

yeah, as long as there is no equality, its important to understand what me being white means in a global context. why are you butthurt by this?

Imagine if this was the other way around

Khidr Joseph

You don’t need to imagine when you can go and look back at history.

So still creating racism by acknowledging people are different solely based on their color of skin.

It's getting old.

jack firmin

as long as there is inequality, its important to talk about this.

I came straight here after stumbling onto an article about this woman & her approach to art & her overall perception of the world. The article was depicting this as not only normal (which unfortunately is becoming more of a reality each day), but the author was describing her art & process with far too much admiration, portraying this woman as an artistic guru of sorts who is so deep & on an entirely different level. I of course was dumbfounded after reading several paragraphs of blatant 21st century racism.

I saw that there was a video so I clicked on it to confirm for myself that society is doomed thinking all of the comments were going to be in support of this nonsense. As I started to read the comments I was able to breath a sigh of relief & even reestablish a little bit of hope for humanity that I had previously misplaced when the overwhelming majority of commenters we're expressing their disbelief, & how appalled they were that this video, this person even exists.

Here she is in her nice clothes, having the spotlight thrusted upon her so that she can try & explain where her motivation is derived from as she discusses the fact that she's able to have a successful career as an artist. I'm assuming she loves creating art &: therefore is fortunate enough to live comfortably off of something she loves to do. Could you imagine if all those evil white people were around to hold her back how much further in life she could have gotten.

In fact she's so empowered that she was given the opportunity to use her voice, say what she wanted with no fear of repercussions, when I know of people who've said things that had no ill ntent behind it but it was taken that way by a gang of easily triggered snowflake's itching to snatch someone's right to free speech, which is what happened when these giant tech corporations did as they were toldby removing certain people's platforms. THEN when their voices were no longer able to defend themselves the false accusations & character assassinations began to fly leading to innocent ppl being silenced & become an alt right rapist who wants to implement a nugenix program. But this women is the one being oppressed, give me a break. Something is very wrong here, & I'm beginning to think more everyday that it's being created in the classrooms which have become indoctrination camps through & through.
