Dear Markus,
The painting "The Problem we all live with" shows us four men who are Deputy US Marshall. They are white. Two of them are on the right side and the other two on the left side. They wear suits. A little, black girl is off centre. Looks as if she's on her way to school, because she has an exercise book and some pencils in her hand. The girl is between the men. In the background you can see a wall. I'm certain that at the top of the wall is a faded graffiti called "Nigger". Below this word you see a red smudge because somebody hurled at the litte girl. At the bottom of the painting there is the name of the artist. The painter's name is Norman Rockwell. The artist wants to provoke our thoughts. All people are equal no matter which colour your skin is. You should respect everyone. When I look at this painting I get the impression that the artist is against racism. Maybe he has his own experience about racists. I really like the main idea and I also like the monochrome coulours.
You cannot say that people are better only because they are white. Think about that!

Yours, Jana
