A group of high school juniors from Piedmont Governor’s School in Martinsville, VA, were presenting a quilt to the local city council they made as part of a class project. Students were in the midst of explaining the individual squares they had made in a fairly non-controversial way. That is until one student started describing an enlightening experience.
She was abruptly interrupted.
“Excuse me. Um, why is the small black person the negative image?” Councilwoman Sharon Brooks-Hodge said.

Affirmative action.
Sounds like Sharon has some kind of inferiority issues if she's gonna be "offended" by a quilt. What a loser.
why are they a negative image?
Is she crazy or what , race card , race card , race card , brain washed colored people.
could be explained as the figure is further away from the other figure, a dimensional issue not a diverse issue. Of course if the woman knows nothing of perspectives in art she would be ignorant of this concept.
Inferiority complex big time and also a need to inflate her importance which compelled her to make an issue out of something that's a nonissue.
why are they a negative image? Because they are.
If I were the kids, I would burn that quilt before I would even think of allowing that ignorant, insecure woman to make a mockery of it!
It's a stick figure. 99.9% of all stick figures ever drawn have been drawn in black, the exception being an artist's effort to express accent to a stick figure. It has always been thus.
Sharon, go take your racism back home where it can eat you alive. Don't bring it out here to us.
remember; you can't fix stupid. horror of horrors; they multiply...
It's people like Sharon who inspire if not encourage racism! She could read into and find it in anything. She is either insecure or is just trying to cause trouble. She needs mental help.
if it were a white figure, could white ppl make a fuss? NOOOOO bc that would be racist!
The absence of enlightenment would be a shadow which the last time I looked are black. Gold represents enlightenment or knowledge. This woman needs to get over herself, act like an adult and quit looking for offenses under every stone.
