"Basquiat has various works deriving from African- American history, namely Slave Auction (1982), Undiscovered Genius of the Mississippi Delta (1983), Untitled (History of the Black People) (1983), and Jim Crow (1986). [149] Another painting, Irony of Negro Policeman (1981), illustrates how African-Americans have been controlled by a predominantly Caucasian society. Basquiat sought to portray that African- Americans have become complicit with the 'institutionalized forms of whiteness and corrupt white regimes of power' years after the Jim Crow era had ended. [150] This concept has been reiterated in additional Basquiat works, including Created Equal (1984)."
