Two hands holding the big black dick they're going to slap whitey with.

It's a bad statue. It's not someone's fault if they misinterpret it. Blame the artist.

Hunh?

Now I am not an authority on fine art. Can someone give me insight on how is this relevant to MLK's legacy?

No not really. Just dumbfounded as to how so many on this board could support Russia’s actions and believe that no one should do anything to stop them.


Again, sigh. The USA (CIA) has been in Ukraine since the end of WW2. With the mission to destroy Russia/USSR. NATO keeps expanding towards Russia. The US has promised not to expand Nato towards russia.

Ukraine is run by Nazis. Real nazi's not the ones the left loons say exist here.

So yeah, figure it out. We don't cheer on Putin but we damn sure know who started this war and it isn't Ukraine or Russia. And to hell with the Ukrainian gov't. Don't confuse that with the Ukrainian people.

The heads of MLK and his wife should have been included since it is about MLK. IMHO it is a reach at best. If I was one of MLK's family I would be disappointed.

The "artist" won a contest for this atrocity in 2017. It wasn't just some one off commissioned thing where he surprised everyone with the unveiling. Let that sink in...this phallic nonsense was a national contest winner 6 yrs ago lol. What a stupid fvxking culture.

Interesting. The piece seems to take its inspiration from this photo. Note that Coretta is wearing the same bracelet and MLK is wearing the same 3-button suit-coat.

That's what the sculptor said.

Regardless, I'm not a fan.

Modern or highly-stylized art is just not my cup of tea, either.

I don't see it as offensive or anything. It is just too ... conceptual ... for my tastes.
