Another thing that I discussed in crit was my growing interest in the single search suggestion "why are black people so loud?"
I feel like this question shows the racism in people using Google. It is a great social commentary.
I am going to spend the rest of my time working on this particular prompt phrase. The series I present will be five or more works displaying various photographs dealing with and addressing this question. They will all be displayed with the Google Screen Shot Label displayed in my previous post.
I am contemplating presenting my images in diptychs. One side of the diptych will be of a person of one race doing something. The other side of the diptych will be a person of another race doing the same thing. I feel like this is a simple way of showing that we are all just people.
I did a little bit more research on Google to see what kinds of results I got with the following two prompts:
Why are black:
people so loud
people so ugly
people better athletes
people so racist
people so violent
people so dumb
people black
people faster than white people
people so lazy
women so fat
WOW
and now for
Why are white:
people so racist
people called crackers
women attracted to black men
people smarter than black people
lighters bad luck
people afraid of black people
people so ugly
people called honkies
people so evil
people called caucasian
I'll leave you to chew on that. More photos focusing on this question soon.
