“‘WHITENESS GOGGLES’ SET OUT TO CHANGE HOW YOU SEE CULTURAL APPROPRIATION:”

Having a hard time understanding the meaning of appropriation? Take a look at Portland-based artist Roger Peet’s handy “Whiteness Goggles” series.

In the images he created for the series, the history of violence and oppression endured by people of color quite literally becomes the backdrop for the quirky styles and awesome music of white people. Take for example his biting ode to Miley Cyrus. In the image above, she twerks before a crowd of armed policemen in Ferguson, Missouri. In another, Katy Perry poses in a geisha costume in front of an exploding atomic bomb.

Blue on blue on blue – an Obama supporter uses (bad) art to destroy his fellow Obama supporters, as the left continues to devour itself.
