 To some of the critical commenters:

Frankly, I have no idea what are you talking about.
I find racism repulsive in any form. I am an immigrant myself coming from a different culture and subtleties of covert racism specific to US, completely elude me.
My intentions were strictly aesthetic, hopefully poetic, title included. There is nothing social, ideologic or political in that image unless you choose to project your own interpretations. As the Anglo-Norman maxim says: "Shame be (he/she) who evil of it thinks"
I find it strange to have to defend my image of intentions that couldn't had even crossed my mind.

Thank you Ken Art Roflmao for you said it better than myself

The two images were taken in the same schoolyard

No harm meant. A super bit of art.

Single moms are a political force IMO so it hit me as stereotype. sadly this is the kind of over sensitivity that is in the air with white supremacy encouraged by tRump.

Wow I must be completely oblivious to any specific racial innuendo. People can find racism in just about anything they want. Silly me, I always assume the best of people. A terrific image regardless.

I like the girl and the motion captured. The writing appears to be composited onto the playground surface -- for me this is a bit distracting. 7

great capture. Im sure you meant no overt racism here, but title combined with the "Daddy" chalk makes for a questionable "statement" - curious what your point is here.
