Who cares what she cares about? And again it is not original. She cares about what she is told to care about. Nothing in there is orginal. If I was going to make an absurd over the too collection of cliches I could not beat that crap.

I highly doubt a mindless drone would produce this sort of artwork. Just because the kid believes things you don't doesn't mean that she's been brainwashed.
While she had no regrets about throwing the lever to douse her husband's mistress in molten gold, Blanche did feel a pang of conscience for the innocent bystanders whose proximity had caused them to suffer gilt by association.

What makes me, me is however. Plus is she really expressing herself? Or the cliches society and the media have foisted on her? Because that is all that picture is. A satire worthy collection of cliches. Is a bunch of cliches all you are?

Self realization and self actualization is not narcissism. They're actually critically important parts of adolescent development. As for it being cliché...you realize you're criticizing the artistic efforts of a child. Do you really want to be that guy?

It matters what she cares about because she's a child trying to learn how to understand and express herself. Most of us went through the same thing at one time.
She cares about things that are relevant to her, and have an impact on her. They speak to a reality she's experienced all her life.


Oh yes. Blindly accepting cliches is so expressing yourself. No way to express yourself like being exactly what society tells you to be.

If she wants to express herself and original thought might be a place to start.

Is it a cliché to find something meaningful which others have also found meaningful? That definition seems excessively broad.

It's at worst kind of derivative. But she's a child.

I'm no fan of art. But if some kid wants to draw a picture and Google wants to use it cool. Unless she's doing it for the Blm movement specifically, what's it go to do with it and why would it matter?

Also, the fuck is an Afrocentrism?
And who cares about it?

So there's no asiancentrism?

It's only white people and people who are not white people are all covered in Afrocentrism?

That seems weird.

They All Look Alike. *nod*
Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.

We all know this street only runs one way.

If the doodle had a white face, "power" and a clenched white fist above "Washington" you'd be shittin brix and no one would be defending it as a "kid's drawing". Kid would probably be in handcuffs.

I was *trying* to be sarcastic. The whole "it's not all about white people so it's bad" thing is pretty much where this thread started though.

My question is will google realize that fair is fair and start using doodles that honor the white people in this country[/quote]

lmao you do understand that almost all the doodles that they make are for famous white people who've had birthdays or whatnot? But, God forbid, when Google tries to understand the motives of a different group, it's unfair? Come on.

Anyone who wants to can view old Google Doodles here. http://www.google.com/doodles/
FOR:Socialism, populism, secularism, LGBT+ rights
NEUTRAL:Third-wave Feminism, communism

children learn by imitation and even in art classes they are encouraged to view the work of established artist and 'learn' their style. So if this child chose to take on influences which affected her and express her sense of self in a way that was informed by those influences then good on her.

ultimately all art is derivative

Right back 'atcha. Read the contest again - what she cares about, what she perceives as affecting her, in spite of your oh so edgy determination that we are all apparently nothing but a media-created burbling of cliches, memes, and power words ... Your opinion matters not one whit in the context of this girl's picture. It isn't about you. You don't figure into it.

As some say when winding an uncomfortable point up ... deal with it. ^_^

They see what they want to see, and what they want to see is an excuse to shitpost and cry about 'white genocide' and 'sjws' and 'blm' and maybe post a few shitty /pol/ memes.

Logic doesn't work on these sorts of people.
