I'm quite taken aback that this was actually restored in 2013. Puzzling thought process.

Make the room an exhibit about colonialism and racism.

Painting should be removed straight away. Black child with chain around his neck and other depressing scenes all those posh diners need a slap.

⤴️ I complained about the large 'Plantation' painting hanging in my shrink's waiting room (a government building) after noticing 'Mammy' and 'cotton picking' slave stereotypes in it. Black woman receptionist said, 'Thank you. I never noticed that' and took it down, immediately.

What’s wrong with it? Don’t care leave it alone. Most of us are fed up with those 2\\3 people being perpetually offended About everything. I’m offended about them whining. Leave the painting alone

Twitter under fresh pressure to remove racist content sooner after Labour frontbencher David Lammy reveals abuseThe shadow minister's appeal to Twitter for swifter action is supported by Home Secretary Priti Patel. Coming from a man that likes to call everyone fucking nazis hmmmm how ironic These are just words..! Ignorant and poorly educated people always resort to abuse and it's impossible to police. Yes, there should be user validation and a no tolerance policy, but I would respect Mr Lammy so much more if he led the way to publicly ignore these vile posts. Ironic how when they get abused they run to the police BUT most of them want the police defunded and dissolved
