Black Face Syrup Lady

This painting was done for a "Taboo Art Party" in Hattiesburg. Basically I wanted to do a really racist painting but at the same time make it a little funny and charming for everyone. Unfortunately this painting did not go over well at all and was ripped off the wall and burned by several angry African American women. So does that mean I failed at the taboo party or I succeeded? I'm not really sure about that one. Anyway, the painting WAS acrylic on canvas but now it's a pile of ashes in someone's backyard.
