Idiot, Nigger, Genius Painting

Before you read the description, & since you’re likely reading this online and already seen the title I want you to take part in this artwork & take a moment to decypher the artwork and interpret to make sense in your own way before reading on I hope you joined in! A word can't be offensive since a word has no intention, it’s just a word. The people who continually and collectively decide to use any word in a derogatory manner change it’s definition. “Idiot” is a person with an IQ below 80. I found myself looking up the real definition of autism & saw that when autism was first defined they used the words “idiot/ idiot savant” without censoring it, books such as ‘Genius, The Natural History of Creativity’ openly use the word “idiot” as factual. The final word, “genius” has been used incorrectly in so many examples it seems as if no one really knows what a genius is & often label prodigies and people with autism as geniuses. Dangerous territory in my opinion. I didn’t live in the early 1900’s however looking back at artworks from the 1700’s I see paintings of servants and slaves in respectable ways, I don’t believe the word “nigger” has always been an insult, only the way that people have chosen to use it in an offensive manner dirties up the word to now stand as one of the most offensive words out there. Now that you see my point of view here’s the artwork and your interpretation. I painted three random items at my disposal & they have no relation to the title, however accidentally they can relate; the cactus has no brain (idiot) the chocolate is brown (nigger) and the paint could be of a genius. That’s what people I’ve shown in real life also come to see. However that’s just what you did with your own perception. You labelled them and you decided their meanings on your own. These are just objects and being puppeteered above showing a finger slightly out of view & the shirt buttons in the background. Enjoy your perspective on these innocent words and objects!
