By presenting the viewer with a stark, unadorned image of a black man with the words "nigga please" emblazoned across his forehead, I am forcing them to confront the casual racism that is still prevalent in our society. The subject's unflinching gaze underscores the strength and resilience of the black community in the face of such bigotry.
