    I can only speculate, but maybe they're just surprised there is such a thing as African art. I have two masks my brother brought me from Africa, and everyone seems to think they're pretty cool. But perhaps that's the sort of art people associate with Africa.

    If they're actually offended, then I find that a bit surprising. I could only guess that they don't like black people getting in touch with their heritage. And the reason for that could be as simple as them associating that sort of thing with an ugly militantism.
