Racist Trap Causes Swedish Minister of Culture to Be Photographed Laughing Over the Mutalation of African Women. [video]
The Swedish Artists Organization was putting together a celebration of World Art Day and asked a few of the participating artist to create birthday cakes as it was also the 75th birthday of the organization.
The Swedish Minister of Culture, Lena Adelsohn-Liljeroth was asked to cut the first piece of cake. She was warned that the cake was artistic and had to do with female genital mutilation.
The cake was wheeled out and uncovered to reveal, what is an insensitive portrayal of an African, complete with jet black skin, huge wide white eyes and huge pink red lips. Even further horrifying is the torso ends up with its lower regions exposed and in order to eat the cake you must cut it, thus mutilating its genitals. WOW!
Makode Linde = Evil Genius
Makode Linde, The Evil Genius
This was clearly a very well-orchestrated plot. Linde wanted to actually capture the picture that you see above. What can’t be seen in the picture is the performance of Linde during the cake cutting. Mind you, Linde is a black man so he knew what he was doing and his art is famous for depicting black people in black face.
In order to cut the cake you basically had to perform a clitoridectomy. As Lena Adelsohn-Liljeroth goes to cut the first piece, Linde begins to scream in pain. I have to admit….it’s pretty funny. Everyone in the room thought so.
The outcome you get is a still photo of The Swedish Minister of Culture, smiling over a mutilated African woman, feeding her, her own clitoris. In the backdrop you get a sea of white faces laughing and cheering her on. THAT’S THE WORK OF ART! That is what Makode was trying to create and he was successful.
Lena Adelsohn Liljeroth tries desperately to defend herself,
“I was invited to speak at World Art Day about art’s freedom and the right to provoke. And then they wanted me to cut the cake. [He] claims that it challenges a romanticized and exorcized view from the west about something that is really about violence and racism. Art needs to be provocative.”
It was all to no avail. The viral nature of the photo, and the emotional charge of the subject of race and female mutilation proved too much to overcome. Her resignation is now being called for.
The video really tells it all, you see how funny it is when the black-faced Linde starts to comically scream. If anything I think he should be condemned for making a mockery of the practice of female mutalization.
