The Painting
A couple attending an art exhibition at the National Gallery were staring at a portrait that had them
completely confused.
The painting depicted three very black and totally naked men sitting on a park bench.
Two of the figures had black *****es, but the one in the middle had a pink *****.
The curator of the gallery realized that they were having trouble interpreting the painting and offered
his assessment.
He went on for nearly half an hour explaining how it depicted the sexual emasculation of
African-Americans in a predominately white, patriarchal society. "In fact," he pointed out, "some serious
critics believe that the pink ***** also reflects the cultural and sociological oppression experienced by :censored:
men in contemporary society."
After the curator left, a young man in a West Virginia T-shirt approached the couple and said, "Would
you like to know what the painting is really about?"
"Now why would you claim to be more of an expert than the curator of the gallery?" asked the couple.
"Because I'm the guy who painted it," he replied.
"In fact, there are no African-Americans depicted at all.
They're just three West Virginia coal-miners, and the guy in the middle went home for lunch.
LMAO :innocent:
