features two sets of arms holding each other, an artistic interpretation of the classic photo of Coretta and hubby Martin Luther King Jr. hugging after he won the Nobel Peace Price in 1964.

i'm just not seeing it.

You know the woke movement is lost when even his descendants openly say they hate the statue.

It’s a very weird conceptual thing.

But I’ve seen the statue from the right angle and I’ve seen the picture and it’s like “ooooh ok”

There are just so many wrong angles.

Coretta


This is Martin Luther King in the club, getting dubs. With a bad bitch in his ear, sayin' that she down for whatever. In the back of his mind is Coretta.

There is an artistic technique called anamorphosis. It requires the piece of art to be viewed at a certain angle to see something unique hidden. So the question is, did this artist employ this technique intentionally to suggest a penis from one angle and what looks like a woman's pelvis elevated and in a sexual position from a different angle or are these views just a couple of coincidences?

Would their target audience be more insulted if the world told them that from another angle it looks like MLK is carrying big ole' watermelon?

“The mainstream media … was reporting on it like it was all beautiful, ’cause they were told they had to say that,”......

“But then when it came out, a little boy pointed out — ‘That’s a penis!’ and everyone was like, ‘Yo, that’s a big old dong, man,’” said the 43-year-old Oakland, Calif., resident.

“If you had showed that statute to anyone in the ’hood, they’d have been like, ‘No, absolutely not.’ “


It's the modern version of the Emperor has no Clothes"

When LSU puts up my statue, I will be honored as the only fan who could watch a 4 hour CBS game, put away a 6 pack and never go take a leak, I want it to at least look like me.

I don't blame the King family for hating the monstrosity.
