Banksy blows by Alabama | Hypebeast

Actually, last I checked, the state with the most white supremacists was California with Texas in second.

my name is joel toigo and i’d honestly like to fuck it silly, i finger my bum over this every night it feels so good :)

this is a wonderful peace i am in love, i’d honestly like to fuck it stupid.

Banksy Rocks!

Gone. It’s gone. Two speculations over who took it.

in your face, bush.

Someone painted over it during the night 9/1…

Perhaps I’m not the intended audience, being a native of Birmingham born well after the Klan was beaten back into the shadows. I’m pretty sure I don’t understand the relevance of the piece. I do know that the black man who came over ask me about it while I was looking at the work didn’t appreciate it at all. The best we could come up with was that it was humorous. If that’s the whole point of it, then great.

I took some pictures of the Banksy in Birmingham…they are at http://www.flickr.com/photos/sogr8ful

if any one close to there was smart they’d get them selfs a good masonry saw and have at it.

that thing can put ur kids threw college.
and yeah it was done before..but not by some one that had balls to do it in Bama!
digg that.

It’s off the Bush blvd/ensley exit off 20/59. if you’re driving from b’ham, take a left off the exit ramp, (right if from Tuscaloosa). Once you take a left (or right), it’ll be about 80 yards from the ramp on the left…it’s across from a little market shop

I couldn’t find the place with those wide directions. Can somebody(Joshua)please post a street name or something more specific, so I can find it in a map/GPS.?
Thanks

Wow.. very powerful piece he did. Crazy. its not even about who did it first. The fact that he put his piece up in Alabama, says alot. Knowing that there are more KKK members in Alabama than anywhere else.

also..I dont think jim thiebauds clansman was wearing a business suit underneath. That speaks volumes. The fact that he is on foreign soil and is speaking such volumes is amazing. He is literally slapping the USA across its entire face.

between where the 59 Freeway meets 65 going South. Heading downtown. on the property of the abandoned chevron down from the deluxe cleaners.

can someone post the address or street name that this is on. thanks

It doesn’t matter that the graphic has been done before. What matters is that this graphic by Banksy is up in a low income and minority populated area of BIRMINGHAM ALABAMA. Damn if you can’t figure out the significance of that than you mad st00pz.

his us stuff is good mostly cause there is so much to criticize here more than other places

Looks a lil sloppy wonder if it was banksy?
well if it is looks lke hes heading south hope he makes his way to miami

His pieces on Melrose were sick too. I like his US material better than elsewhere.

Yes! Bansky is king! I don’t think anyone can touch him. He’s like some bandit who’s running through the American south with a torch and a mask, and no one can catch him. I think he’s amazing.

Banksy is killin it.. That’s what I like to see! Rather if the graphic was used before. Its expression. I know fasure if I pass by that joint. I will be chantin out “hell yeah they need to get hanged!” so yahh got a hold of that. I know he is heading to the atl. Ohh I know he has to murder

i think its not about what the image is but what the image about.Hanging KKK maybe been done before, but if you know banksy pieces, he’s a genius in his respected kinda way.

No offence to Banksy, I think he’s quality, but a hanging Klan member was already used waaay back as a Jim Thiebaud graphic for Real.

This piece is right down the street from me its in the heart of a medium to low income minority community. I passed by it going to work on 08-30-08 and i was thinking wow. just the artistic expression speaks volumes especially in Birmingham Alabama. Respect.
