For Betye Saar, there’s no dwelling on the past; the almost-90-year-old artist has too much future to think about

It began in 1972, with a breakthrough work titled “The Liberation of Aunt Jemima,” a small, shoe box-size assemblage in which she took a stereotypical mammy figurine — and armed her with a rifle and a grenade.

“It’s like they abolished slavery but they kept black people in the kitchen as mammy jars,” Saar says of what drove her to make the piece. “I had this Aunt Jemima, and I wanted to put a rifle and a grenade under her skirts. I wanted to empower her. I wanted to make her a warrior. I wanted people to know that black people wouldn’t be enslaved by that.”  

That’s why ALL of the networks pack in shills into Bernie’s town halls, to smear him constantly and they put up misleading headlines to smear him and to try to get people to hate him.

Because they know that if he gets nominated, he’s going to win and if he wins, the rich and the huge corporations they have stock in aren’t going to get any more subsidies and their effective tax rates aren’t just going to be at 0%, they’re going to climb up to 40% once the deductions and loopholes have been counted and gone through.
