What I was trying to show in this picture is a reversal wherein White men are shining the shoes of Black men while a semi-disinterested onlooker listens to his iPod. This reflects my intense distaste (almost nausea) for social inequality where it is all too common for African American men and women to be the "servants" of White people. This has got to change or this country will forever have multiple social problems.
