Three Black Men
At the National Art Gallery in Dublin, a husband
and wife were staring at a portrait that had them
completely confused.
The painting depicted three black men totally
naked sitting on a park bench. Two of the figures
had black willies, but the one in the middle had a
pink willie.
The curator of the gallery realized that they were
having trouble interpreting the painting and offered
his assessment.
He went on for over half an hour explaining how it
depicted the sexual emasculation of black men in a
predominately white, patriarchal society. 'In fact,'
he pointed out, 'some serious critics believe that
the pink willie also reflects the cultural and
sociological oppression experienced by gay men in
contemporary society.'
After the curator left, an Irishman, 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 black men depicted at all!
They're just three Irish coal miners. The guy in the
middle went home for lunch.'
