Except it wasn't glorifying violence. Like at all. He was not saying that if looting continues then police would start shooting, that's a twisted and strained interpretation. He was stating simply that looting begets violence, mea

While it may be tempting to jump to a racial interpretation of the arrest, it appears that the CNN reporters were just standing in the wrong place and in the chaos of the moment were arrested.

I can look online now and see beautiful art whenever I want. In magazines and books beautiful imagery is ubiquitous. Art is just a thing we expect to see now and is easily reproduced. We are surrounded by it. This is why I chose "commo
