Political Art's Problems......

Does political art have to be "dead on" to work successfully? If this is true, it suggest to me that disenfranchise art and artists have a higher standard to meet then those who make other types of non social/political art. Artists of color and female artists are on a uneven playing fields or must assimilate/compromise their works. How is it possible to be a minority or a women of any race and not create political works of art on some level and in some fashion? Perhaps non political artists are able to strike their artistic marks earlier and easier with less debate, and scrutiny attached ? Art which does not focus on social and political struggles is and remains high art, too. But does this mean that political art is more important then art that simply makes us feel good and doesn't require us to think as much? Does political art have to be entertaining, clever and always fresh ...or else ? Finally, does art even have to be fair?
