Except that this is YEARS old, and
no one has discussed it (the artist is also a white male).

You dudes sound like racist whites with your bullshyt what ifs.
This artists' work (primarily this photo) was posted on SOHH numerous of times and discussed.
I never would have saw it if it wasn't discussed.
To insinuate no one discussed something because you had no idea a particular platform even existed is the epitome of delusional narcissism.
What'a more, many black men wouldn't argue the point behind it.
It's literally no different than the initial post of this thread that you dapped about a black male being sodomized by a Jordan sneaker.
The race of the artist is irrelevant, you wouldn't argue it wasn't true, you only take issue with it now because of the current thread.
The emotional talking points are irrelevant.
When faced with the same "social commentary" you all desire to have with black men - which only encompasses you all telling black men how uneducated, brainwashed, and powerless they are - you kick, scream, and attempt to deliberately twist words in order to appeal to emotions and knock the mirror out of your face.
We have no problems telling black men that they aren't without fault, and you certaintly don't.
So what, exactly, makes you above reproach?
