<p>[QUOTE="johnnycb09, post: 9469890, member: 27"]Well,if you were anything other than black and had it in your home you might be accused of racism ! At least in America. Silly I agree,but its the climate we live in . I had a painting of 2 nude children on the beach,a lovely and poignant work,and lord did I hear "pedophilia" from more than one person . Nothing sexual in it at all,but again,the world we live in. I traded it to a Canadian boardie,apparently the rest of the world isnt as hysterical as Americans about things like that. Anything that remotely smacks of caricatures is too fraught for criticism.Just my humble and probably ill informed opinion.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
