Let it be known.

So I just found out the artist of this piece is Titus Kaphar and from what I’ve seen he has some amazing work! Y’all should check him out.

Omfg why are y’all so focused on skin tone!! Obviously this is from the artist people of view or he had a bigger idea of what the painting meant.

Can we PLEASE stay focused! Light skin or dark skin, THE SHIT WAS FUCKED UP!!

I wish Titus would come on here and explain why he made the woman in the painting a darker tone so y’all can stfu!

This man raped a 14yo baby, did all types of fucked up shit to her and y’all focused on what color she is.

The amount of people trying to justify this shit by sayin he freed slaves is sickening. I didn’t wanna mute this tweet because I love reading all the different info that’s coming forward but mfs blowin me.

Okay now y’all can stfu about why she not lighter in the picture and focus on the main issue.
