...before the basquiat show”.

Basquiat would wear expensive suits while he painted in his studio and would make public appearances while wearing these paint-stained suits.

I understand the context and think it still borderlines c00n talk.

Alotta people hear that lone but dont hear Frank's follow up line of "and if so? fukk IT. fukk IT. Because this water drowned my family......"

Meaning even if whatever status he achieves is eclipsed by racism and prejudice, it's irrelevant since he takes pride and is in awe of the journey of AADOS, in his case, his bloodline goes from slave ships to millionaire.
