Wow, this was News to me.
And even though it's clearly a somewhat tired comparison, it's absolutely true that if the roles were reversed and it were Trump; and his portrait artist had made paintings depicting blacks in such a manner - the media would be in non-stop armaggeddon mode.
The fact that this guy was chosen to do Obama's Presidential portrait is just unbelievable.
Or at least it should be.
I mean, Obama had to have known about it - right???

“Obama’s official portrait was painted by Kehinde Wiley, a black artist who loves depicting whites being decapitated. What would happen if the races were reversed and it was Trump?” the accompanying post read.
Talking about the works in an interview with New York magazine in 2012, Wiley said, “It’s sort of a play on the ‘kill whitey’ thing.”
