This actually means a lot more to me than it probably will to anyone else. I don't want to explain it though, so read it how YOU want.
I thought of this idea when listening to this song, especially the lyrics in bold. It's also inspired by Allen Jones ([link]). To avoid repetition, yes I did paint my hands.

I take two steps forward
They try to knock me four steps back
Whenever I see color
They only see white or black
Whenever I speak my mind
They put words in my mouth
Do they really think that I’m lyin'
When I know what they’re all about?

Don’t let them put you down
No, don’t let ’em
Don’t let them put you down
Don’t let ’em
Don’t let them put you down
Don’t let them put you down
Don’t let ’em

When I’m in my sunshine
They bring their rain to fall
I’m lookin‘ at this picture
But they can’t see it at all

I’m steppin‘ on the gas
And I wanna move ahead
They said I'd never make it
But that’s what they always said

Don’t let them put you down
Don’t let ’em
Don’t let them put you down
Don’t let ’em
Don’t let them put you down
Don‘t let ’em
Put ya foot on the gas step on fas

- "Don't Let 'Em" by Bootsy Collins feat. Rosie Gaines, Snoop Dogg & Till Bronner.

(if you are interested in listening to the song (which I'd like you to do) you can hear it on my myspace profile: [link])

Daily Deviation

Given 2009-03-11

They only see white or black by =Aiko273 is a strong and intense black and white portrait, with beautiful contrast. Very classy while also being edgy at the same time. I think it's highly impressive and just one of many great self portraits in this deviants gallery. ( Featured by `PorcelainPoet )
