Profiling….Time To Lighten Up A Little

The Pink Weenie

A couple attending an art exhibition at the National Gallery were
staring at a portrait that had them completely confused.

The painting depicted three very black and totally naked men sitting on
a park bench. Two of the figures had black weenies, but the one in the
middle had a pink weenie.

The curator of the gallery realized that they were having trouble
interpreting the painting and offered his assessment. He went on for nearly
half an hour explaining how it depicted the sexual emasculation of
African-Americans in a predominately white, patriarchal society.

“In fact,” he pointed out, “some serious critics believe that the pink
weenie also reflects the cultural and sociological oppression experienced
by gay men in contemporary society.”

After the curator left, a young man in a Kentucky T-shirt approached the
couple and said, “Would you like to know what the painting is really
about?”

“Now why would you claim to be more of an expert than the curator of the
gallery?” asked the couple.
“Because I’m the guy who painted it,” he replied. “In fact, there are no
African-Americans depicted at all. They’re just three Kentucky coal miners,
and the guy in the middle went home for lunch.”
