Viewing artists through the narrow prism of identity politics; judging and classifying and segregating them according to immutable characteristics like race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation... There, in my view, lies the path to regression. The path leading away from progress. Away from the dream King had for his four little children.
It is worth asking ourselves if we would ever utter out loud, without embarrassment, a statement along the lines of, "[x] is a very good black artist." And in their presence, query whether we'd say to them (at least as a compliment), "You are my favourite black artist."
If the answers are no, then perhaps the actual premise of this thread should be reconsidered, notwithstanding any underlying good intentions.

Talent is no different to each race and phrasing as such regarding the title thread causes segregation and division , art is powerful enough to speak for itself
art is one of the equal playing fields in relation to gender,race and age

This is an international forum, not just Americans, and each one of us here have our own life experience, cultural bias and artistic sensitivities. In some countries in Europe it is even illegal to classify people by race after WW2's horrors - so this thread title in itself can be seen as racist / upsetting to some.
Met and Cest are debating politely their perspectives.

I think I agree, but I have a question. What are your views on the Black Lives Matter slogan? Prior to this week, I wasn't even aware that of the history behind All Lives Matter and thought it was a positive slogan which was inclusive of all people, rather than singling out a particular race. Given that white supremacists have apparently adopted All Lives Matter for themselves, it seems to have polluted those three words. If society did not view the statement negatively, would you prefer that statement over Black Lives Matter? |

I see what you're trying to say but I don't think you know how to discuss these things well. And apologies for trying to help the conversation stay polite.
But could I even argue in your manner that your American privilege of assuming ยดthe rest of the world is just the same type of problem as in America' is just another privileged class mentality from a lack of understanding (or "ignorance") of different countries, different cultures and different histories?
And this is a public forum, so your attempt to "educate" by insulting people sharing their perspectives and mixing in generic statements don't really make you the best educator on these issues. Possibly even doing it a disservice...

The notion of Black lives matter being non inclusive is the essence of white privilege.
"what's the problem, what just black lives, what not all lives??" Basically if it doesn't effect you you can't see it.
The reason being is that black people are murdered for being black.
Profiling and both conscious and unconscious bias have been operating in this white supremacist society from day dot.

Everyone is different, colour of skin, hair, eyes, height, weight, character, religious beliefs, nationality. Just show understanding to each other and treat everyone as equal.

I bring it up, because on one hand, some are saying it's offensive to segregate artists according to color and some are saying it's a positive thing to highlight artists by their color. So since Met was arguing that it's offensive, I was curious on what he thought about the use of Black Lives Matters vs. All Lives Matters, excluding the history of the All Lives Matter and the negative connotation.
Keep in mind, I had no idea about All Lives Matter being used by white supremacists before and thought that Hank Willis Thomas had come up with it with his artwork All Li v es Matter, but now realize that it was a response to All Lives Matters.

Share your favorite Black/Minority Artist , by nobokov on Jun 6, 2020 18:13:01 GMT 1, I'm not sure I said it was reappropriated. But regardless, don't the words themselves, and I'm just talking about the combination of the three words, "All lives Matters," doesn't it include Black lives and all other lives?
I bring it up, because on one hand, some are saying it's offensive to segregate artists according to color and some are saying it's a positive thing to highlight artists by their color. So since Met was arguing that it's offensive, I was curious on what he thought about the use of Black Lives Matters vs. All Lives Matters, excluding the history of the All Lives Matter and the negative connotation.

Thanks, that's a great poster to make it clear.
Do you think that highlighting Black Artists could be seen in the same light or is it negative to highlight black artists like everyone is doing on Instagram now? It's tough to know what actions are a consequence of white privilege or white influence, what's genuine, and what is the correct thing to do. Someone will always get offended. I imagine that the person who originally created this had positive intentions to highlight previously underrepresented artists. But at the same time, highlighting based on race could also reinforce Otherness.
