Makode Aj Linde |
So this is Makode Aj Linde, this artist behind the
controversial Swedish “cake” event.
The whole thing was supposedly done to raise awareness for
female genital mutilation. So naturally a man donning a racist stereotype of
the Venus Hottentot image and screaming totally works for that.
He also claims the Culture Minister Lena Adelsohn Liljeroth whispered
into his ear that things would be “better for you after this.”
“Maybe I’m overreacting, but hopefully some of my followers
can clue me in. Am I in the wrong for side-eyeing the hell out of this?
I will post an
apology if I am, said Makode.
Many fine it troubling that a man who looks Black, his self identification
unknown, would circulate racist art like that [Makode Aj Linde].
But his racist stunt did help expose so-called anti-racist
Swedish politician Lena Adelsohn Liljeroth who has been called on to resign by
The National Afro-Swedish Association.
