School Days, Robert Colescott

 

“Unfortunately, stereotypical images are part of the American heritage,” Robert Colescott says. School Days features a crowd of caricatures: a young black man brandishes a gun; a white girl buries her nose in a book; a white john slips a black prostitute some cash.

Don’t miss the black versus white football game (with the white referee). “I have no doctrine,” Colescott says. “I want to talk about the foolishness of it all.”
