Description
This picture was taken in a modern shopping mall where the black lady was a spitting image of the 1970's look--hairdo, leather jacket, large earrings, and very large platform shoes. The photo was taken in 2005. Can you find the three points of the triangle and decipher their significance.

Fascinating image! I perceive the same poignant sadness in the expression of the woman in the lower right as I see in Liza's eyes; it is very haunting yet hard to turn away from!

The triangle is a Rorschach test of sorts on race relations in America. The well known white entertainer, albeit not a wasp, and the stylish black lady form two points of the triangle and the dummy upper right forms the third point. The meaning is determined by the predilections of the viewer who looks for the meaning.
