Bank customers complained. Now the fake-outrage \u201cart\u201d is gone, the artist said on Jan. 26.<\/p>\n<p>Artist Allyson Allen heard the bad news from a member of the Community Art Project who had helped coordinate the exhibit, called \u201cPiece-ful Protest.\u201d Allen told the Laguna Beach Independent that Wells Fargo corporate contacted the branch and told them to dial down the Oppressed-Minority Rage.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTruly disappointing that a progressive art community like Laguna would still be controlled by the small-minded minority of individuals who cannot accept an art installation as art,\u201d Allen wrote.<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cart\u201d was in fact shrill, over-the-top, rage-against-no-one-in-particular imagery sewn into 36 quilts, like a screaming black man with \u201cEnough!\u201d above his head. Another read \u201cDon\u2019t let hate go viral;\u201d a third nodded to homosexual victimhood with a clenched rainbow fist below the words \u201cPride \u2013 Love is Love.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In short, the exhibit was an outpouring of false victimhood and divisive leftism. The quilts were immediately removed after the bank\u2019s request came down on Jan. 26. It had been up only one week.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWells Fargo is committed to and invested in the Laguna Beach community \u2013 our support of the Community Art Project program is a reflection of that commitment. We\u2019re equally committed to ensuring a culture and customer experience that welcomes all,\u201d read a bland statement from Wells Fargo corporate released on Jan. 27.<\/p>\n<p>Sally Sanders, a Black Lives Matter activist and 20-year resident of Laguna Beach, was not happy about the withdrawn exhibit and reacted with name-calling, telling the Independent: \u201cThis is kind of a trend that Laguna Beach is not what it used to be. Now it\u2019s starting to lean toward the full right with racism and commercialism. I\u2019ll protest outside that bank if I have to,\u201d Sanders said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It turns out that even people in Laguna Beach, Calif. don\u2019t like having a false black-oppression narrative screamed in their faces when they visit the bank.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1250862","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1250862","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1250862"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1250862\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1250862"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1250862"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1250862"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
