KnightLAT please look

KnightLAT The sun rays image is a symbol of Asian version of Nazi which killed so many ppl,not just Koreans.If any of you believe Nazi is wrong and Holocaust is horrible, you should understand this is the same as them.I’m sorry but the wall painting is not an art work, but it’s a threat.

KnightLAT Does that also include statues of confederate soldiers?

Artist Shepard Fairey said he will insist on removal of his mural if LAUSD paints over controversial artwork at schoolArtist Shepard Fairey said he will insist on the removal of his own mural if the Los Angeles school district paints over a controversial artwork at the same Koreatown campus. It's not controversial, that's the problem here. What's next, pissed that the palms vaguely resemble a marijuana leaf? If that mutual offends you, get a hobby, volunteer at a homeless shelter, or go pick up trash on the streets of LA. Grow up already. Great article. Interesting local case study and two communities sharing one are of la. Also I like the journalistic reporting and neutrality. Ava Gardner has virtually no connection to Japan that I’m aware of. That said, this mural is reminiscent of their battle flag. Tough one.

Kennedy at the school named after him Seems fair 💕💕 Sure, destroy your own legacy. That’ll teach us, lol. 1. Why is Ava Gardner in the mural? 2. They are sun rays, a motif used in countless imagery. Get over it.

Kennedy campus. Local Korean activists want the mural painted over. But artist Shepard Fairey and the Kennedy clan have come to the artist's defense. These people can be brought to their knees by artwork depicting Sun Ray's 🤨 Censorship only drives the thirst for more free speech StayWoke BabyItsColdOutside 🤯 Thank goodness! The dude leading the charge against the mural has ulterior, NIMBY motives on other issues, clearly. FirstAmendment

LAUSD caves to claims of racism on a school mural. It's deplorableThe L.A. Unified School District has bowed to a misguided censorship campaign and will destroy a civic mural — an irresponsible move on a campus named for social justice warrior Robert F. Kennedy, who was murdered at the site in 1968. cknight That flag is cool as fuck, though. I've seen it used hundreds of times in all kinds of situations. A lot of bands use it for posters, album covers, etc. On the flip side, is no one allowed to use art that represents a nuclear explosion now? cknight Lol WTF. That's like saying if something has stripes it resembles the American flag cknight
