Another case of "think before you post."

She added to the painter's thoughts with an extensive caption that has angered all corners of the internet.

"I think I'll got take a black walk. And have a black talk. With my black friend. Maybe have some black lunch. Watch a black movie, sing a black song, smock a black bond," she captioned the photo. "Then take a black nap in my black bed in my black sheets and have some black dreams. .....Happy to be be black. Just don't need to say it in front of everything."
