You probably don’t recognize the name Kehinde Wiley, but you might recognize his ridiculous official portrait of Obama in which one of the worst men to ever squat in the White House appears to be sitting in a chair inside a bush or some hedgerows.
Widely praised by the TED Talk people and mocked by everyone else (at least until King Charlie’s portrait came along), there didn’t seem to be much of a case to be made for it except that the Obamas were determined to make history by picking black artists and they couldn’t find any so they had to settle for these junior high school art projects that smell like paste when you look at them.
Anyway, to make a long story short, you might recognize Wiley’s name after this.
In an Instagram post shared Sunday, British-Ghanaian artist and curator Joseph Awuah-Darko alleged Wiley sexually assaulted him twice in 2021. Awuah-Darko said the first incident occurred on June 9, 2021, at a dinner held at the Noldor Artist Residency in Ghana, to celebrate Wiley’s work. Awuah-Darko is the founder and chairman of the Accra-based program.
In the post, he claimed he was “inappropriately groped” by Wiley, in front of another guest, and that the action was “unwelcome and unprovoked.” He then described a second incident that day as “much more severe and violent,” without elaborating further. (In a subsequent interview with the New York Times, he claimed that “a sexual encounter began consensually, but that it then moved to a bedroom, where… Mr. Wiley forced himself on him after Mr. Awuah-Darko had said he did not want to go further.”)
The assaults “almost destroyed me,” Awuah-Darko wrote in the post, adding he hoped that others would feel empowered to come forward.
Wiley is denying the accusations, and this is as much as I want to know about the whole thing except that having another Obama grandiose woke gesture boil down to this is perfectly on brand.
The right side of history is so wrong.
I just now realized that another thing that bugs me about the concept of the “Right Side of History” is that history doesn’t have sides, history is kind of amorphous, with good and bad inextricably mixed up together in a hopeless mess.
If you don’t become a Christian, then how are you going to be on the right side of Christian history? After all, it is Christian prophecy that the future is predetermined, Jesus will come back to judge the living and the dead.
Where did Marx get his idea that history is predetermined? From Christianity.
Since man has free will, history is not predetermined. But men can be on the right side or the wrong side of REASON, which means being on the right side or the wrong side of the facts of reality.
Everything Hussein O touches turns to sewage…
As DJT says, “Everything woke turns to s__t.”
Hear the rallying cry of the Kenyan’s revolution: “Sodomites of the world, Unite!”
Obama himself is an sodomite that’s a abomination remember that guy who said he used to give Obama fellatio?
Well, at least the horrible portrait possibly inspired the scene in The Simpson’s where Homer appears oozing through the hedges between his house and Ned Flanders’ house. So that’s good, isn’t it?
or the scene inspired the portrait
Obama in the Poison Ivy Itch itch itch
Look up Ben Garrison he did a good one about that artists and Obamas portrait
