(CHICAGO) - A new art exhibit about the Michael Brown police shooting in Ferguson is on display in Chicago.
The piece features a life-size portrayal of Michael Brown after he was killed last year in Ferguson.
It also includes a black statue of liberty, and a noose dangling from a neon sign.
The exhibit also features a plaque with the words "I Can't Breath"; referencing the Eric Garner police involved death in New York.
A Brown family member praises the exhibit.
The artist is a white woman from New Orleans.
She says it represents white privilege in America and how it negatively affects the black community.
The exhibit runs through August 10th.

No one offered me a scholarship or job based only on my skin color.
There certainly is white privilege in this country. Whites have the privilege of doing most of the work and providing most of the tax money for the government to redistribute to the poor and downtrodden.
I would like to see some scholars steal it and sell it for scrap,,and then get caught,,[:)]and they be of Barry flavor/
The jig's up in Chicago. Everyone knows it's a spooky place.
Amen to that what company is going to move to a war zone? I have never been a racist, could care less, but the more they push this crap, wanting to blame a flag on what happens, trying to justify what they do, is a load of bull chips.
I have another flag flying, the Stars and Stripes, the confederate battle flag, pow/mia, don't tread on me. They keep pushing, it about time to push back
The same goes with happys, could care less, but they keep pushing, now that want to ban the words husband and wife.
Our country is going to hell, the the one steering is that fool Obama.

Steer clear of the whole area.
80% of Police Officers who loose their firearm in a struggle have that firearm used against them. Brown had clearly attempted to violently take the officers gun while the officer was in the cruiser. When he turned to rush the officer when he was outside the vehicle the officer clearly had reason to think that he would try to take the gun again and due to his size and age he had the ability. He caused his own demise, he and all the other people who told him that he wouldn't be held responsible for his actions because of his skin color. Next to that exhibit perhaps Bill Cosby giving a lecture to women on how to avoid sexual assault.
that's why the cop chased him a few blocks, then shot him 8 times from 25 feet away. yep.

White privilege....
What ever it is, I am glad I've got it!! I'm not giving it back or feeling guilty about it either. [;)]
I wonder if it would be inappropriate to wear my "I support Darren Wilson" shirt through that exhibit?
He does look kind of peaceful laying there.
There's room for more, if you stack them right.
That's cold. Funny, though.
I have no doubt he would like it.
