2008 August 31
Banksy hit New Orleans a couple of days ago and now takes on the KKK in Birmingham, Alabama.
This dude is on some “Trust Jesus” shit for real!

Neato, let’s hope he makes his way up north soon.
Amazing Banksy speaks the truth! Some might say graffiti i say art.
Nice one, Banksy.

Derivative…Been done before…
The wall wasn’t taken down. A bunch of southern boys took black spray paint to it and covered the whole thing. Check it out here: http://raincoaster.com/2008/09/09/banksy-strikes-again/
And the wall was then taken down.
I love Banksy.. he should come to Montreal.
I live in Birmingham, AL and find it almost offensive that Banksy portrays our city in this way. The KKK community here is very small, nearly nonexistent. Birmingham has a very high tolerance for people of all kinds. Most people here do not even think about race differences. Cottonwood, AL, though. . .that’s a different story.
Response to Rusty
Graffiti IS ART
Emma – I think he may have been referring to the historical treatment of African-Americans in Birmingham, particularly during the Civil Rights Movement – the Klan was particularly brutal towards them during that time period.
