Art that means something to me with some light commentary

Art

This is a painting by Jacob Lawrence. On the painting you can see a white worker beating up a black worker. At the time, black workers were hired by bosses to break strikes. Instead of standing together against their bosses, white workers preferred hitting on poor, discriminated black workers who had migrated from the Southern states.

Instead of redirecting that hatred towards those in power, those who made insane profits while they were getting poor. People choose to hit those below them. Those they still have power over.

This is a painting by Antoine Mayo. It is Egyptian surrealism. It depicts the violence of police brutality by using shapes and forms.
