* I used to hear \u201cvulnerable\u201d used to describe, e.g. poor children who don\u2019t have anybody who will notice signs of abuse, or prostitutes, who might not be noticed if a serial killer starts picking them off.<\/p>\n

Women in general, being half the adult population, seem like a stretch to include in that category. PoCs, too, by similar reasoning. \u201cQueer\u201d people are vulnerable insofar as the behavior that they\u2019ve come to define themselves by is extremely risky (might be a bad idea to raw dog it on meth with >200 dudes a year, but God forbid you say that). Hard to see how that makes them a \u201cvulnerable community\u201d. Even the sainted Matthew Shepard died due to his crystal meth dealing.<\/p>\n

I have a grudging respect for the Left\u2019s tightening stranglehold on the English language.<\/p>\n

* The kind of art exhibited in the gallery: http:\/\/www.barnettcohen.com\/recent-work<\/p>\n

My favorite piece is entitled \u201cOxford Shoe, sand, cat piss and shit.\u201d<\/p>\n

* Up against determination, Mexers are hopeless and useless.<\/p>\n

But, paradoxically, that is one of the Mexers\u2019 strength. Their sheer mediocrity seems so non-threatening that people ignore the rise in Mexer numbers for too long until there are too many of them and may even be poised to take over. Mexers know that their power resides ONLY IN NUMBERS.<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t need too many Muslims to realize that, uh oh, they mean trouble!! Even less with blacks.<\/p>\n

But with Mexicans, you figure they will always be like Guillermo, a smiling servant people who say, \u201cYes Jimmy\u201d.<\/p>\n

* On the other hand, here is the gallery\u2019s nemesis: http:\/\/www.onda.la\/2016\/pssst-stinks<\/p>\n

PSSST is but the most recent result of the world of art as it exists within racialized capitalism.<\/p>\n

Of course it is. Here are their tips for disrupting your neighborhood gentrifying gallery:<\/p>\n

– Attend, drink all their wine and leave
\n– As you leave perhaps think of opening up a stink bomb or two to clear the space
\n– Bring noisemakers like fart bombs, horns and matracas to bring a festive mood to their dead spaces that will be sure to startle the attendees
\n– Invite friends to mob the whole gallery and throw an impromptu party (see: the scene in La Haine)
\n– Be creative! Have fun! Don\u2019t get caught! Wear a mask if necessary!<\/p>\n

From their \u201cAbout\u201d page:<\/p>\n

We know that […] the question of violence is not a question at all; that decolonization is not a metaphor but a threat backed by material violence; that the legal system offers nothing compared to revenge; that […] work is a drudgery imposed<\/p>\n

Fun guys.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
