Why does this looks like a menstral show but in a painting

[@self..destroyer]

A what show?

[@carolwilliams7052]

@@self..destroyer Only the poster can explain, but "MINSTREL show" might have been what was meant. With "shadow" in the ID, and the art subject a woman, I can only hope the poster wasn't referring to menstrual flow.

Black people (for whatever reason) find it empowering to "take back" racial caricatures of their own people.
I don't understand it either, but whatever they'd like you know?

Yeah I’d rather have a white person

My eyes are blue, that’s why when I feel blue, I play the blues. It’s my way of experiencing my Blueness.

Racist?
